energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guar-
antee 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.
-Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit di󰀨erent from that to which the

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 frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Commu-
nications 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 re-
ported 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: 2AKHF9560NG .
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.

1.3 Important Warranty Void Notice
WARNING: Damage caused by any modification to the thermals
performed by anyone other than Eluktronics will not be covered under
warranty. As a standard, the MAX-17 is produced with an advanced
stock thermal system which has excellent heat dissipation. It is strongly
discouraged to attempt any thermal changes on your own. Though the
stock thermals are already designed for you to enjoy a very high-
performance experience, Eluktronics does offer even further thermal
advancements for custom purchases completed on Eluktronics.com. If
you purchased your laptop from another marketplace or did not elect the
thermal advancement at the time of your purchase, Eluktronics does offer
the option to have your thermals upgraded for a fee by a certified
professional and maintain warranty coverage.
NOTE: Upgrading memory and/or storage can be easily accessed and modified
on your MAX-17. However, modifying your thermals is NOT worth the serious
risk of voiding your warranty or more importantly damaging your PC. An
accidental bend of the heatsink or incorrect torque of the screws would be
counteractive to the advanced compound you apply. It is important to
understand a motherboard on a laptop is not the same as a desktop PC. The
processor and graphics card are both soldered on to the board and a
replacement would be very costly if damage were to occur.
