I &WARNINGI
Flat panel displays are not always supported on the
proper stands or installed according to the manufacturer's
recommendations. Flat panel displays that are inappropriately
situated
on dressers, bookcases, shelves, desks, speakers,
chests or carts may fall over and may cause personal injury or
even death.
The consumer electronics industry (of which Panasonic is
amember)
is committed to making home entertainment
enjoyable and safe.
To prevent personal injury or death, be
sure to follow the following safety guidelines:
TUNE INTO SAFETY:
•One size does NOT fit all. Follow the manufacturer's
recommendations for the safe installation and use
of your
flat panel display.
•Carefully read and understand all enclosed instructions for
proper use
of this product.
•Don't allow children to climb on
or play with furniture and
television sets.
•Don't place flat panel displays
on furniture that can easily be
used as steps, such as achest
of drawers.
•Remember that children can become excited while watching
aprogram, especially
on "larger than life" flat panel
displays. Care should be taken to install the display where
it
cannot be pushed, pulled over, or knocked down.
•Care should be taken to route all cords and cables
connected to the flat panel display so that they cannot be
pulled or grabbed by curious children.
WALL MOUNTING: IF YOU DECIDE TO WALL MOUNT

•Use amount that has been recommended by the display
manufacturer and/or listed by
an independent laboratory
(such as UL, CSA, ETL).
•Follow all instructions supplied by the display and wall
mount manufacturers.
•If you have any doubts about your ability to safely
install your flat panel display, contact your retailer about

FCC STATEMENT
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for aClass Bdigital device, pursuant to Part 15 ofthe FCC
Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in aresidential 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 aparticular installation. Ifthis 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 into
an outlet on acircuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
•Consult the Panasonic Service Center or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution:
To
assure continued compliance, follow the attached installation instructions and use only shielded interface cables
when connecting to peripheral devices. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by Panasonic Corp. of
North America could void the user's authority to operate this device.
FCC Radiation
Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment
should be installed and operated with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body.

This device complies with Part 15 of FCC Rules and RSS-Gen of IC 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 ofthis device.
This transmitter must not
be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
This product
is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency range.
FCC and IC require this product to
be used indoors for the frequency range 5.15 to 5.25 GHz to reduce the potential for harmful
interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite systems. High power radars are allocated as primary users ofthe 5.25 to 5.35 GHz
and 5.65 to 5.85 GHz bands. These radar stations can cause interference with and/or damage this product.
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices.
There
is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe.
Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF)
in the microwave range while being used.
Whereas high levels of
RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does not produce
heating effects causes no known adverse health effects.
Many studies of low-level
RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological
effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research.
Product Identification Marking
is located on the bottom ofthe Wireless LAN Adapter.
