Operating environment

Warning! For safety reasons, turn off all wireless or radio

transmitting devices when using your laptop under the following

conditions. These devices may include, but are not limited to:

wireless lan (WLAN), Bluetooth and/or 3G.

Remember to follow any special regulations in force in any area, and always

switch off your device when its use is prohibited or when it may cause

interference or danger. Use the device only in its normal operating positions.

This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used normally, and it and its

antenna are positioned at least 1.5 centimeters (5/8 inches) away from your

body (refer to the figure below). It should not contain metal and you should

position the device the above-stated distance from your body. To successfully

transmit data files or messages, this device requires a good quality connection

to the network. In some cases, transmission of data files or messages may be

delayed until such a connection is available. Ensure that the above separation

distance instructions are followed until the transmission is completed. Parts of

the device are magnetic. Metallic materials may be attracted to the device, and

persons with hearing aids should not hold the device to the ear with the

hearing aid. Do not place credit cards or other magnetic storage media near the

device, because information stored on them may be erased.

Medical devices

Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including wireless phones, may

interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected medical devices.

Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device to determine if

they are adequately shielded from external RF energy or if you have any

questions. Switch off your device in health care facilities when any regulations

posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities

may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF transmissions.

Pacemakers. Pacemaker manufacturers recommend that a minimum separation

of 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) be maintained between wireless devices and a

pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These

recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and

recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers

should do the following:

• Always keep the device more than 15.3 centimeters (6 inches) from the

pacemaker

• Not carry the device near your pacemaker when the device is switched o.

If you suspect interference, switch off your device, and move it.

Hearing aids. Some digital wireless devices may interfere with some hearing

aids. If interference occurs, consult your service provider.
