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 PC’s 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.
