Safety Precautions
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 convey 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 pre-
cautions 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 incorporat-
ing 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 interference from Personal Computer or Hand-
held 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 incorporat-
ing 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

ment in potentially explosive atmospheres can constitute a safety hazard.
Your Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating wireless WAN mo-
dem receives and transmits radio frequency energy while switched on. Remember
that interference can occur if it is used close to TV sets, radios, computers or inad-
equately shielded equipment. Follow any special regulations and always switch off
