SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
There are two categories of Safety Instructions included in this manual:
Product Warnings, (i.e., what must never be done to assure avoiding those hazards that could
cause bodily injury or property damage); and
User Directions (i.e., what must always be done to assure the safe use of your device).
The Safety Instructions contained in this manual have been categorized in accordance
with the seriousness of the potential hazards through the use of Signal Words.
Those Signal Words, and their intended meanings, are as follows:
DANGER: Indicates that a failure to observe the Safety Instructions could result in death or
catastrophic bodily injury.
WARNING: Indicates that a failure to observe the Safety Instructions could result in serious
bodily injury.
CAUTION: Indicates that a failure to observe the Safety Instructions could result in minor
bodily injury or property damage.
NOTE: Designates important information that relates to activities and/or conditions that
might result in loss of data and/or damage to your device.
Safe Use And Operation of Your Device
All portable computers produce low levels of RF energy due to the generation of digital timing
pulses by its clock oscillator circuits. Your device has been equipped with internal shielding to
minimize stray emissions of RF energy. Airlines may nevertheless prohibit the on-board use of
portable PCs (and all other portable electronic devices that could potentially emit stray RF energy),
particularly during take-offs and landings, to prevent any possible interference with the reception of
signals by airborne electronic navigational devices. Other locations, such as hospitals, may also
restrict the use of Pocket PCs and other devices that emit low-level RF energy.
WARNING
Always request and obtain prior consent and approval of an authorized airline representative
before using your device aboard an aircraft.
Always follow the instructions of the airline representative whenever using your device aboard
an aircraft, to prevent any possible interference with airborne electronic equipment.
WARNING
Always comply with posted prohibitions of the use of RF-emitting devices, such as in hospitals.
Failure to follow such directives could result in the interference with medical equipment and/or
devices.
Never come closer than 6 inches to a person with a heart pacemaker implant when using this
device. Failure to do so could result in interference with the function of the pacemaker.
