Please refer to the following tips to alleviate eye strains:
• Take some time away from the display if working for long hours.
It is advised to take short breaks (at least 5 minutes) after around
1 hour of continuous working at the computer. Taking short and
frequent breaks is more eective than a long break.
• To minimize eye strain and eye dryness, rest your eyes periodically
by focusing on objects that are far away.
• Repeat the following exercises to reduce eye strain:
(1) Look up and down repeatedly
(2) Slowly roll your eyes
(3) Move your eyes diagonally
If eye strain persists, please consult a physician.
• High energy blue light may lead to eye strain and AMD (Age-
Related Macular Degeneration). Blue light Filter reduces
30% (max.) harmful blue light to avoid CVS (Computer Vision

Internal Modem Compliancy
The Notebook PC with internal modem model complies with JATE (Japan), FCC
(US, Canada, Korea, Taiwan), and CTR21. The internal modem has been approved
in accordance with Council Decision 98/482/EC for pan-European single terminal
connection to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). However due
to dierences between the individual PSTNs provided in dierent countries,
the approval does not, of itself, give an unconditional assurance of successful
operation on every PSTN network termination point. In the event of problems you
should contact your equipment supplier in the rst instance.
Overview
On 4th August 1998 the European Council Decision regarding the CTR 21 has
been published in the Ocial Journal of the EC. The CTR 21 applies to all non
voice terminal equipment with DTMF-dialling which is intended to be connected
to the analogue PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network).
CTR 21 (Common Technical Regulation) for the attachment requirements for
connection to the analogue public switched telephone networks of terminal
equipment (excluding terminal equipment supporting the voice telephony
justied case service) in which network addressing, if provided, is by means of
dual tone multi-frequency signalling.

Network Compatibility Declaration
Statement to be made by the manufacturer to the Notied Body and the vendor:
“This declaration will indicate the networks with which the equipment is designed
to work and any notied networks with which the equipment may have inter-
working diculties.”
Statement to be made by the manufacturer to the user: “This declaration will
indicate the networks with which the equipment is designed to work and any
notied networks with which the equipment may have inter-working diculties.
The manufacturer shall also associate a statement to make it clear where network
compatibility is dependent on physical and software switch settings. It will also
advise the user to contact the vendor if it is desired to use the equipment on
another network.”
Up to now the Notied Body of CETECOM issued several pan-European approvals
using CTR 21. The results are Europe’s rst modems which do not require
regulatory approvals in each individual European country.
Non-Voice Equipment
Answering machines and loud-speaking telephones can be eligible as well as
modems, fax machines, auto-dialers and alarm systems. Equipment in which the
end-to-end quality of speech is controlled by regulations (e.g. handset telephones
and in some countries also cordless telephones) is excluded.

Interference Statement
This device complies with FCC Rules Part 15. Operation is subject to the following
two conditions:
• This device may not cause harmful interference.
• This device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class
B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used
in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment
o and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
86
Notebook PC E-Manual
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dierent from that to
which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
WARNING! The use of a shielded-type power cord is required in order to meet
FCC emission limits and to prevent interference to the nearby radio and television
reception. It is essential that only the supplied power cord be used. Use only shielded
cables to connect I/O devices to this equipment. You are cautioned that changes or
modications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void your authority to operate the equipment.

RF Exposure information (SAR)
This device meets the EU requirements (2014/53/EU) on the limitation of exposure
of the general public to electromagnetic elds by way of health protection.
The limits are part of extensive recommendations for the protection of the
general public. These recommendations have been developed and checked by
independent scientic organizations through regular and thorough evaluations
of scientic studies. The unit of measurement for the European Council’s
recommended limit for mobile devices is the “Specic Absorption Rate” (SAR),
and the SAR limit is 2.0 W/Kg averaged over 10 gram of body tissue. It meets
the requirements of the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP).
For next-to-body operation, this device has been tested and meets the ICNIRP
exposure guidelines and the European Standard EN 50566 and EN 62209-2. SAR is
measured with the device directly contacted to the body while transmitting at the
highest certied output power level in all frequency bands of the mobile device.
A minimum separation distance of 1 cm must be maintained between the user’s
body and the device, including the antenna during body-worn operation to
comply with the RF exposure requirements in Europe.
