Additional limitations, cautions, and concerns for specific countries are listed in the specific

country sections (or country group sections). The wireless devices in your system are only

qualified for use in the countries identified by the Radio Approval Marks on the system rating

label. If the country you will be using the wireless device in, is not listed, please contact your

local Radio Approval agency for requirements. Wireless devices are closely regulated and use

may not be allowed.
The power output of the wireless device or devices that may be embedded in your notebook

is well below the RF exposure limits as known at this time. Because the wireless devices (which

may be embedded into your notebook) emit less energy than is allowed in radio frequency safety

standards and recommendations, Gateway believes these devices are safe for use. Regardless

of the power levels, care should be taken to minimize human contact during normal operation.
Measurements have been performed to show that the RF exposure is below what is considered

safe limits; however care should be taken to make sure the user or bystanders keep the

transmitter away from their body when the wireless device is transmitting. The transmitting

antenna installed in the top third of the lid should be used in a manner to maintain 8 inches

(20 cm) from user’s or bystander’s bodies.
The wireless devices installed in this system are intended to be used indoors. In some areas,

use of these devices outdoors is prohibited.
Some circumstances require restrictions on wireless devices.

United States of America

Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
Intentional emitter per FCC Part 15

Low power, Radio transmitter type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless communication

devices), operating in the 2.4 GHz band and/or 5.15 – 5.35 GHz band, may be present (embedded)

in your notebook system. This section is only applicable if these devices are present. Refer to

the system label to verify the presence of wireless devices.
Wireless devices that may be in your system are only qualified for use in the United States of

America if an FCC ID number is on the system label.

Caution

Only use drivers approved for the country in which the device will be

used. See the Gateway System Restoration Kit, or contact Gateway Customer
Care for additional information.

Important

Every country has different restrictions on the use of wireless devices.

Since your notebook is equipped with a wireless device, when traveling
between countries with your notebook, check with the local Radio Approval
authorities prior to any move or trip for any restrictions on the use of a wireless
device in the destination country.

Caution

Wireless devices are not user-serviceable. Do not modify them in any

way. Modification to a wireless device will void the authorization to use it.
Contact Gateway for service.

Caution

The transmitting device embedded in this notebook may not be used

with any antenna other than the one provided with the notebook.

Caution

In order to comply with FCC requirements this transmitter must not be

operated (or co-located) in conjunction with any other transmitter or antenna
installed in the notebook.
