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.

This device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for
exposure to radio ferquency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission of the U.S. Government.
The exposure standard employs a unit of measurement known as the Specic
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. Tests for SAR are
conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the EUT
transmitting at the specied power level in dierent channels.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all reported
SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR
information on this device is on le with the FCC and can be found under the
Display Grant section of www.fcc.gov/eot/ea/fccid after searching on FCC ID: ZQ6-

RF Exposure information (SAR) - CE
This device meets the EU requirements (1999/519/EC) 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 ICNRP
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.

IC Radiation Exposure Statement for Canada
This equipment complies with IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. To maintain compliance with IC RF exposure
compliance requirements, please avoid direct contact to the transmitting antenna
during transmitting. End users must follow the specic operating instructions for
satisfying RF exposure compliance.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
• Thisdevicemaynotcauseinterferenceand
• Thisdevicemustacceptanyinterference,includinginterferencethatmay
cause undesired operation of the device.
To prevent radio interference to the licensed service (i.e. co-channel Mobile
Satellite systems) this device is intended to be operated indoors and away from
windows to provide maximum shielding. Equipment (or its transmit antenna) that
is installed outdoors is subject to licensing.
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s).

IC Warning Statement
The device could automatically discontinue transmission in case of absence of
information to transmit, or operational failure. Note that this is not intended to
prohibit transmission of control or signaling information or the use of repetitive
codes where required by the technology.
The device for the band 5150-5250 MHz is only for indoor usage to reduce
potential for harmful interference to co-channel mobile satellite systems; the
maximum antenna gain permitted (for device in the bands 5250-5350 MHz and
5470-5725 MHz) to comply with the EIRP limit; and the maximum antenna gain
permitted (for devices in the band 5275-5850 MHz) to comply with the EIRP limits
specied for point-to-point and non point-to-point operation as appropriate, as
stated in section A9.2(3). In addition, high-power radars are allocated as primary
users (meaning they have priority) of the band 5250-5350 MHz and this radar
could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.
The Country Code Selection feature is disabled for products marketed in the US/
Canada. For product available in the USA/Canada markets, only channel 1-11 can
be operated. Selection of other channels is not possible.

Avertissement d’Industrie Canada
Cet appareil peut automatiquement mettre n aux transmissions en cas d’absence
d’informations à transmettre ou en cas d’échec de fonctionnement. Ceci n’est pas
destiné à interdire les transmissions, signaler des informations ou l’utilisation de
codes répétitifs lorsque ceux-ci sont requis par la technologie d’émission.
La fonction de Sélection du code pays est désactivée pour les produits disponibles
sur le marché américain/canadien. Pour les produits disponibles sur le marché
américain/canadien, seuls les canaux 1 à 11 peuvent être opérés. L’utilisation

maximal d’antenne permis (pour les dispositifs utilisant les bandes 5275-5850
MHz) doit se conformer à la limite P.I.R.E spéciée pour l’exploitation point-à-point
et non point-à-point, selon les cas, et comme spécié dans la section A9.2(3). De
plus, les radars de haute puissance sont désignés comme utilisateurs principaux
