Federal Communications Commission notice

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of

the 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 off 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.

• Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or television technician for help.

Modifications

The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or modifications made to this device that are not expressly

approved by HP may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Cables

To maintain compliance with FCC Rules and Regulations, connections to this device must be made with shielded cables

having metallic RFI/EMI connector hoods.

WARNING!

Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation The radiated output power of this device is below the FCC radio

frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the device should be used in such a manner that the potential for human

contact is minimized during normal operation of tablet PCs and notebook computers.
To avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to the antennas should not

be less than 20 cm (8 inches).

CAUTION:

This product is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15- to 5.25-GHz frequency range.

The FCC requires this product to be used indoors for the frequency range of 5.15 GHz to 5.25 GHz to reduce the

potential for harmful interference to cochannel mobile satellite systems. High power radar is allocated as the primary user

of the 5.25- to 5.35-GHz and 5.65- to 5.85- GHz bands. These radar stations can cause interference with and/or damage

to this device.

In some environments, the use of wireless devices may be restricted. Such restrictions may apply in hospitals, near

explosives, in hazardous locations, and so on. If you are uncertain of the policy that applies to the use of this product, ask

for authorization to use it before you turn it on.

Canada notices
