The device isdesigned not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) recommended by internationalguidelines (ICNIRP). These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines that establish permitted levelsof RF radiation for the general population. The guidelines were developed by independent scientificorganizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The device also meetsthe European R&TTE directives, including the protection of the health and the safety of the user andany other person.European Union Regulatory notices 5

The exposure standard for mobile devices employs a unit of measurement known as the SpecificAbsorption Rate (SAR).* The SAR was obtained by testing the device at standard operating positionswith the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Theactual SAR of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value, because the deviceoperates at multiple power levels and uses only the power required to reach the network.When installed in the notebook computer, this device meets RF exposure guidelines when theantennas are positioned at a minimum distance from the body. In order to transmit data or messages,this device requires a quality connection to the network. In some cases, transmission of data ormessages may be delayed until such a connection becomes available. Be sure that therecommended distance is observed until the transmission is complete.*The non-FCC, international guidelines state that the SAR limit for mobile devices used by the publicis 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over 10 grams of body tissue. The guidelines incorporate asubstantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for anyvariations in measurements. SAR values may vary depending on national reporting requirements andthe network band.This equipment incorporates a radio transmitting device. In normal use, a separation distance of 20cm ensures that radio frequency exposure levels comply with the Australian and New ZealandStandards.Ergonomics noticeGermanyMobile computers bearing the "GS" approval mark meet the ergonomic requirements and are suitableonly for short-time use of VDU tasks. When a mobile computer is used for display work tasks wherethe Visual Display Unit (VDU) Directive 90/270/EEC is applicable, an adequate external keyboard isrequired. Depending on the application and task, an adequate external monitor may also benecessary to attain working conditions comparable to a workstation setup.Ref: EK1-ITB 2000:2008This device is intended for use at visual display workplaces in compliance with BildscharbV, only withexternal keyboard and adequate external monitor.During mobile use with disadvantageous illumination conditions (e.g. direct sun light) reflections mayoccur which result in reduced readability.Mobile Computer, welche das "GS" Zeichen tragen, entsprechen den ergonomischen Anforderungenund sind nur für kurzzeitige Benutzung von Bildschirmarbeitsaufgaben geeignet. Wird ein mobilerComputer für Bildschirmarbeitsaufgaben verwendet, wo die Richtlinie 90/270/EEG(Bildschirmarbeitsrichtlinie) anzuwenden ist, wird eine geeignete externe Tastatur notwendig.Abhängig von der Anwendung und der Aufgabe kann ein geeigneter externer Monitor erforderlichsein, um vergleichbare Arbeitsbedingungen zu einem stationären Arbeitsplatz zu erreichen.Ref: EK1-ITB 2000:2008Das Gerät ist für die Benutzung am Bildschirmarbeitsplatz gemäß BildscharbV nur mit externerTastatur und geeignetem Monitor vorgesehen.6 Chapter 1 Regulatory notices
