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 receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit 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 cable when connecting to computer or peripheral devices. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by Panasonic Corp. of North America could void the users authority to operate this device. Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power
(e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication. FCC Declaration of Conformity Models:

(Do not bring into a surgery room, intensive care unit, critical care unit, etc.) Electromagnetic waves generated by this device can affect equipment, and can cause equipment to malfunction. Do not use near automatic doors, smoke detectors and other automatically controlled equipment. Electromagnetic waves generated by this device can affect equipment, and can cause equipment to malfunction. Use at least 22 cm (9 in.) away from pacemakers. Electromagnetic waves generated by this device can affect the operation of pacemakers. CAUTION When the unit is not used over an extended period of time, take the batteries out of the unit. Otherwise, the batteries may leak. Do not use the leaked batteries. Safety Precautions For Your SafetyWARNING Operating Safeguards Do not alter the unit or modify any parts. Alteration or modification can cause fire or electric shock. CHOKING HAZARD Keep the penpoint and battery out of reach of children to prevent swallowing. Battery Use only the specified type of battery. Using the incorrect type of battery can result in overheating/
burning or leakage of battery acid. Make sure that the battery is installed with the correct polarity as indicated on the battery holder. Incorrectly installed batteries may burst or leak, resulting in injuries. Do not use the damaged batteries. Using damaged batteries may result in leaking. Do not short, heat, break or throw in a fire, as it may result in the battery leaking, generating heat, or bursting. When disposing of the battery, cover the battery contacts with insulation (ex. tape). Direct contact with other batteries may result in leaking, fire, or explosion. Do not solder the battery, as it may result in the battery leaking, generating heat, or bursting. Remove empty batteries immediately to avoid battery fluid leakage. Avoid contact of battery fluid with eyes, skin or clothing, as this may result in irritation or injury. In these cases, do not rub the affected area, and rinse thoroughly with clean water. 6 Precautions Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the users authority to operate this device. About Using the Battery If a battery is used improperly, the battery may leak, causing corrosion of the unit, or it may burst. To prevent this, always follow the precaution given below. If the electronic pen ceases to function because the battery has run out, remove it immediately and dispose of it according to local regulations. Leaving a drained battery in the electronic pen may result in leakage. A nickel metal hydride battery that is recyclable powers the product you have purchased. Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information on how to recycle this battery. Other Information Usage Note Operating the electronic pen and the electronic pen adapter near electrical appliances may cause interference. Move away from the electrical appliances such as TVs, radios, cordless phone, or wireless devices. MEDICAL Consult the manufacturer of any personal medical devices, such as pacemakers, to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF (radio frequency) energy. (The unit operates in the frequency range of 2.405 GHz to 2.480 GHz, and the power output level is 1 milliwatts.) Do not use the unit in health care facilities if any regulations posted in the area instruct you not to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF
(radio frequency) energy. No responsibility will be taken by our company with respect to consequences resulting from the use, damage or both of the equipment. 7 Requests regarding handling Do not push down hard on the Pen tip. If there is surface contamination of the electronic pen, wipe it off with a soft cloth. For heavy contamination, wipe it off with a soft cloth dampened with a mild soap solution after squeezing water out of the cloth, and then dry the surface with a soft, dry cloth. Ingress of water droplets may cause a failure. Do not drop the electronic pen because it may get broken or malfunction. Do not use the pen tip if foreign material is adhering to it or if it is deformed or damaged. Doing so may dirty or scratch the screen. Do not store the electronic pen with its pen tip pressed. If it is stored in an ordinary pen stand, the pen tip will be kept pressed and that may weaken the internal spring or damage the pen tip. Because it is protruding, be careful not to bump or catch any object on the pen tip of the electronic pen. Also if this part is covered, the electronic pen will not function correctly. Do not use the electronic pen for other purposes than operating the Interactive Plasma Display. 8 Accessories Supplied Usage Check that all of the following items are included with your Interactive Plasma Display.
