APPENDIX A: Legal Information

142

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.

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.
