VAIO® Computer Wireless Information
be connected to the line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the telephone company. For products approved
after July 23, 2001, the REN for this product is part of the product identifier that has the format
US:AAAEQ##TXXXX. The digits represented by ## are the REN without a decimal point (e.g. 03 is a REN of 0.3).
For earlier products, the REN is separately shown on the label.
If this equipment causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that
temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice is not practical, the telephone company
will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC
if you believe it is necessary.
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the
operations of the equipment. If this happens, the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to
make the necessary modifications in order to maintain uninterrupted service.
If trouble is experienced with this equipment, for repair or warranty information, please contact the Sony Customer
Information Service Center at 1-888-4-SONY-PC (1-888-476-6972), or write to the Sony Customer Information

FCC Radio Frequency Exposure (United States)
and SAR
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power
wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power
wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas
high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low level RF that does not produce
heating effects causes no known adverse health effects.
Governments around the world have adopted comprehensive international safety guidelines, developed by scientific
organizations, e.g ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiations Protection) and IEEE (The
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering Inc.), through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific
studies. These guidelines establish permitted levels of radio wave exposure of the general population. The levels
include a safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health, and to account for
any variations in measurements.
Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by
the body when using a transceiver. The SAR value is determined at the highest certified power level in laboratory
conditions, but the actual SAR level of the transceiver while operating can be well below this value. This is because
the transceiver is designed to use the minimum power required to reach the network.
Variations in SAR below the radio frequency exposure guidelines do not mean that there are variations in safety.
While there may be differences in SAR levels among mobile phones, VAIO PC is degined to meet radio frequency
exposure guidelines.
Before VAIO PC is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that is does not exceed
the limit established by government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The test are performed in positions and
locations as required by the FCC for each model. For body worn operations, this PC has been tested and meets FCC
FR exposure guidelines for fixed and mobile use as normal PC use.
SONY has not measured and makes no representation about, the body worn SAR levels when any changes to the
original product.
(For PCG-4E1L models with wireless LAN and wireless WAN) The personal computer (PCG-4E1L) has been
tested and found to comply with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines on radio frequency
energy (RF) exposures. The maximum SAR levels tested for the personal computer (PCG-4E1L) has been shown to
be 0.266 w/kg (16.625%) when 1900 band and BT are transmitting simultaneously.
