Getting Started
Do not operate Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating wireless WAN modem in the pres-
ence of
fl
ammable gases or fumes. Switch off the cellular terminal when you are near petrol stations, fuel
depots, chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress. Operation of any electrical equipment
in potentially explosive atmospheres can constitute a safety hazard.
Your Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating wireless WAN modem receives and trans-
mits radio frequency energy while switched on. Remember that interference can occur if it is used close to
TV sets, radios, computers or inadequately shielded equipment. Follow any special regulations and always
switch off Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating wireless WAN modem wherever forbid-
den, or when you suspect that it may cause interference or danger.
Road safety comes
fi
rst! Do not use a Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating wireless
WAN modem while driving a vehicle. Do not place the computer with wireless WAN modem in an area where
it could cause personal injury to the driver or passengers. It is recommended to stow the unit in the boot or
secure stowage area while driving.
Do not place the computer with wireless WAN modem in an area over an air bag or in the vicinity where an
air bag may deploy.
Air bags in
fl
ate with great force and if the computer with wireless WAN modem is placed in the air bag de-
ployment area may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
IMPORTANT!
Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating wireless WAN modem operate using radio signals
and cellular networks cannot be guaranteed to connect in all conditions. Therefore, you should never rely
solely upon any wireless device for essential communications, for example emergency calls.
Remember, in order to make or receive calls, Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating wire-
less WAN modem must be switched on and in a service area with adequate cellular signal strength.
Some networks do not allow for emergency calls if certain network services or phone features are in use (e.g.
lock functions,
fi
xed dialing etc.). You may need to deactivate those features before you can make an emer-
gency call.
Some networks require that a valid SIM card be properly inserted in Personal Computer or Handheld Com-
puter incorporating wireless WAN modem.

Federal Communications Commission Radio Fre-
quency Interference Statement
Note: This equipment has been tested and found to com-
ply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interfer-
ence in a residential installation. This equipment gener-
ates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if
not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television recep-
tion, which can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dif-
ferent from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the Panasonic Service Center or an experi-
enced radio/TV technician for help.
Warning
To assure continued compliance, use only shielded inter-
face cables when connecting to a computer or peripheral.
Also, any changes or modi
fi
cations not expressly ap-
proved by the party responsible for compliance could void
the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
FCC RF Exposure Warning:
This equipment is provided with PC Card slot that could
be used with wireless transmitters, which will be speci
fi
-
cally recommended when they become available.
Other third-party wireless transmitters have not been
RF exposure evaluated for use with this computer and
may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements.
<Only for model with wireless LAN/wireless WAN/Bluetooth>
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure
limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.
This equipment has been approved for portable op-
eration, and does not require any minimum spacing be
provided between antennas and all person’s body.
If provided with wireless WAN transmitter, requires LCD
side panel spacers to provide minimum 1.5
cm
spacing
between antenna located within the LCD side panel,
and all person’s body (excluding extremities of hands,
wrist and feet) during wireless modes of operation.
This equipment may not be co-located or operated
with any other antenna or transmitter.
<Optional Car Mounter / Port Replicator>
This equipment is provided with external antenna
connector(s) for connection to optional Car Mount-
er or Port Replicator for mobile external mounted
antenna(s). External antenna(s) must be profession-
ally installed and cannot exceed recommended maxi-
mum antenna gain as described in individual provided
supplement instructions for wireless transmitters.
For WLAN, the Car Mounter should be used with Ra-
diall/Larsen WLAN whip antenna, type NMO5E2400B-
KTNC with 5
dBi
antenna gain or less. Also, user must
maintain minimum 20
cm
spacing between external
antenna(s) and all person’s body (excluding extremi-
ties of hands, wrist and feet) during wireless modes of
operation.
