100Notebook PC E-ManualDVD-ROM Drive Information (on selected models)The DVD-ROM drive allows you to view and create your own CDs and DVDs. You can purchase an optional DVD viewer software to view DVD titles. Regional Playback InformationPlayback of DVD movie titles involves decoding MPEG2 video, digital AC3 audio and decryption of CSS protected content. CSS (sometimes called copy guard) is the name given to the content protection scheme adopted by the motion picture industry to satisfy a need to protect against unlawful content duplication. Although the design rules imposed on CSS licensors are many, one rule that is most relevant is playback restrictions on regionalized content. In order to facilitate geographically staggered movie releases, DVD video titles are released for specic geographic regions as dened in “Region Denitions” below. Copyright laws require that all DVD movies be limited to a particular region (usually coded to the region at which it is sold). While DVD movie content may be released for multiple regions, CSS design rules require that any system capable of playing CSS encrypted content must only be capable of playing one region.IMPORTANT! The region setting may be changed up to ve times using the viewer software, then it can only play DVD movies for the last region setting. Changing the region code after that will require factory resetting which is not covered by warranty. If resetting is desired, shipping and resetting costs will be at the expense of the user.

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 dierences between the individual PSTNs provided in dierent 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.
Notebook PC E-Manual103OverviewOn 4th August 1998 the European Council Decision regarding the CTR 21 has been published in the Ocial 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 justied case service) in which network addressing, if provided, is by means of dual tone multi-frequency signalling.Network Compatibility DeclarationStatement to be made by the manufacturer to the Notied Body and the vendor: “This declaration will indicate the networks with which the equipment is designed to work and any notied networks with which the equipment may have inter-working diculties.”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 notied networks with which the equipment may have inter-working diculties. 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 Notied 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.

For updates to this table, you may visit http://www.cetecom.de/technologies/ctr_21.html1 National requirements will apply only if the equipment may use pulse dialling (manufacturers may state in the user guide that the equipment is only intended to support DTMF signalling, which would make any additional testing superuous).In The Netherlands additional testing is required for series connection and caller ID facilities.Federal Communications Commission Interference StatementThis 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.

Notebook PC E-Manual107FCC Radio Frequency (RF) Exposure Caution StatementWARNING! Any changes or modications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment. “The manufacture declares that this device is limited to Channels 1 through 11 in the 2.4GHz frequency by specied rmware controlled in the USA.”This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, please avoid direct contact to the transmitting antenna during transmitting. End users must follow the specic operating instructions for satisfying RF exposure compliance. This device operates within a 5.15-5.25 GHz frequency range and is restricted for indoor use only. Outdoor operation within 5150-5250 MHz is prohibited.RF Exposure Information (SAR)This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves. 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 Specic 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 specied power level in dierent 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: MSQ-7260H
