Safety Precautions
The following safety precautions must be observed during all phases of the operation, us-
age, service or repair of any Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating GSM/
GPRS 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 precautions violates
safety standards of design, manufacture and intended use of the product. Panasonic as-
sumes 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 GSM/
GPRS 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 Handheld
Computer incorporating GSM/GPRS 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
GSM/GPRS modem away from the pacemaker, while it is on.
Switch off Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating GSM/GPRS
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 GSM/
GPRS modem in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Switch off the cellu-
lar 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 GSM/GPRS 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
Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating GSM/GPRS modem wher-
ever forbidden, or when you suspect that it may cause interference or danger.

incorporating GSM/GPRS modem when driving a vehicle, unless it is securely mounted
in a holder for handsfree operation. Before making a call with a Personal Computer or
Handheld Computer incorporating GSM/GPRS modem, park the vehicle.
