FCC Part 15 Compliance Statement
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 the receiver.•
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which•
the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.•
Any changes or modications not expressly approved by the grantee of this device
could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Chapter 1. Important Safety Information and Warnings
Safety Precautions
This section covers the important safety information about the Reader. Please read,

WARNING: Do not rely on the Reader as a sole means of reading
safety or hazard warnings, medication labels or instructions, food labels
or ingredient lists, or nancial or legal documents, when a reading
inconsistency or misreading of written text might put you at risk of
personal injury or economic harm. The Reader is designed to convert
text into speech, and is not intended for reading primarily mathematical,
scientic, or nancial data. For such critical reading, always use a
backup means of conrming that you understand the writing, such as an
alternative accessible format or another person.

Mesures de sécurité
La présente section comprend des instructions de sécurité importantes relatives au
Intel®Reader. Prière de lire, de vous conformer et de conserver ces instructions, et
aussi de respecter toutes les mises en garde.
MISE EN GARDE : Ne pas utiliser le Reader comme unique moyen de
lecture de consignes de sécurité ou de mises en garde, d’étiquettes ou
d’instructions relatives à des médicaments, d’étiquettes alimentaires
ou de listes d’ingrédients, ou de documents nanciers ou légaux,
lorsqu’une lecture incohérente ou une mauvaise lecture du texte
écrit pourrait vous occasionner des lésions corporelles ou des pertes
nancières. Le Reader est conçu pour reproduire un texte écrit sous
forme verbale, et n’est pas conçu pour lire essentiellement des
données de nature mathématique, scientique ou nancière. Pour une
lecture importante de ce genre, toujours utiliser une seconde méthode
pour conrmer que vous comprenez le texte, tel qu’un format alternatif
accessible ou une autre personne.
Éviter les chocs électriques
Ne pas renverser de liquide sur le Reader, ni le mouiller. Ne pas opérer le•
Reader à proximité d’un point d’eau.
Ne pas utiliser le Reader dans la cuisine ou la salle de bains.•
Ne pas désassembler le Reader. Aucune pièce interne n’est réparable par•
l’utilisateur.
12
Chapter 1. Important Safety Information and Warnings
Ne pas opérer le Reader pendant que vous conduisez.•
Ne pas essuyer l’écran avec un tissu humide. Pour plus de renseignements,•
se référer à la section Techniques de nettoyage recommandées.
Ne pas connecter de câbles au Reader, ni les déconnecter, ni faire fonctionner•
l’appareil pendant un orage électrique ou en présence d’éclairs.
Utiliser uniquement le cordon d’alimentation et l’alimentation électrique•
fournis avec le Reader. Diverses alimentations électriques peuvent avoir des
connecteurs de dimensions et formes similaires, aussi il convient de s’assurer
d’utiliser le bon élément.
Ne pas chercher à contourner la sécurité fournie par la che de terre. Une•
che de terre a deux lames et une troisième broche de terre ou contact de
mise à la terre. Si la che fournie ne rentre pas dans votre prise, consulter un
électricien pour un remplacement approprié.
Protéger le cordon d'alimentation d'éventuels dommages (piétinement,•
pincement), en particulier au niveau des ches, boîtiers, et points de
connexion au Reader.
Le cordon d'alimentation sur l'adaptateur secteur est le principal dispositif de•
déconnexion électrique du système. S’assurer que le cordon est accessible.
Vérier périodiquement le cordon d’alimentation pour déceler toute usure ou•
autre dommage.
