Safety Precautions
<Only for model with wireless WAN>
The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of the operation, usage, service or repair of any Personal
Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating wireless WAN modem. Manufacturers of the cellular terminal are advised to con-
vey the following safety information to users and operating personnel and to incorporate these guidelines into all manuals supplied
with the product. Failure to comply with these precautions violates safety standards of design, manufacture and intended use of the
product. Panasonic assumes no liability for customer failure to comply with these precautions.
When in a hospital or other health care facility, observe the restrictions on the use of mobiles. Switch Personal Computer
or Handheld Computer incorporating wireless WAN modem off, if instructed to do so by the guidelines posted in sensitive
areas. Medical equipment may be sensitive to RF energy.
The operation of cardiac pacemakers, other implanted medical equipment and hearing aids can be affected by interfer-
ence from Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating wireless WAN modem placed close to the device.
If in doubt about potential danger, contact the physician or the manufacturer of the device to verify that the equipment is
properly shielded. Pacemaker patients are advised to keep their Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating
wireless WAN modem away from the pacemaker, while it is on.
Switch off Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating wireless WAN modem before boarding an aircraft.
Make sure it cannot be switched on inadvertently. The operation of wireless appliances in an aircraft is forbidden to
prevent interference with communications systems. Failure to observe these instructions may lead to the suspension or
denial of cellular services to the offender, legal action, or both.
Do not operate Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating wireless WAN modem in the presence of
fl
am-
mable 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 transmits radio fre-
quency 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 Hand-
held Computer incorporating wireless WAN modem wherever forbidden, or when you suspect that it may cause interfer-
ence 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 deployment 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 wireless 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 func-
tions,
fi
xed dialing etc.). You may need to deactivate those features before you can make an emergency call.
Some networks require that a valid SIM card be properly inserted in Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorpo-
rating wireless WAN modem.
