This unit may malfunction if the power source is interrupted suddenly, for example, due to
lightning. Fujitsu recommends the use of an AC non-interruptible power supply unit.
(Based on guidelines for the prevention of sudden voltage interruptions by Japan Electronic
Industry Development Association (JEIDA).
This unit is class B information technology equipment based on the Voluntary Control Council
for Interference (VCCI) standard by Information Technology Equipment and may create
interference if used near radio or television receivers.
Use the unit in accordance with information provided in the manual.
This unit conforms to the Personal Computer Industry Standard (PC-11-1988) of the Japan
Electronic Industry Development Association (JEIDA).

Preventing electromagnetic interference with a TV or radio
Your PC complies with the VCCI Standard restricting electromagnetic interference with a
TV or radio. However, the computer may interfere with a TV or radio depending on the
installation location.
To prevent the PC from interfering with TV or radio reception, note the following:
●Precautions to be taken by the PC user
- Do not use the PC with the cover removed.
- Use the specified cable to connect the PC with a peripheral. Do not use an unauthorized
cable.
- After installing a cable, ensure that the connector is firmly attached and the screws
(if any) are tight.
- Do not plug the PC in the same outlet as a TV or radio.
●Precautions to be taken by the TV or radio
- Do not place a TV or radio near the PC.
- Position TV or radio antennas in such a way that interference is minimized.
- Stay away the antenna line of a TV or radio near from the PC.
- Use coaxial cables as antenna feeders.
If interference with TV or radio reception continues after switching off the PC and
peripherals, check the above items again.
If interference continues, contact Fujitsu or the shop from which your PC or peripheral was
purchased.
