Sony assumes no responsibility for any security problems that may arise from the use of a Wireless LAN. Scurit du rseau local sans fil La cration de paramtres de scurit pour le rseau local sans fil est extrmement importante. Sony nest pas tenu responsable des problmes de scurit susceptibles de se produire lors de lutilisation du rseau local sans fil. The following cautions apply to the models which support the IEEE 802.11a/n (5 GHz) standard. Only use Wireless LAN indoors when using it with IEEE 802.11a/n (5 GHz). High power radars are allocated as primary users (meaning they have priority) of 5250-5350 MHz and 5650-5850 MHz and these radars could cause interference and/or damage to this device. Les avis suivants se rapportent aux modles qui prennent en charge la norme IEEE 802.11a/n (5 GHz). Utiliser le rseau local sans fil lintrieur uniquement lorsquil est utilis avec IEEE 802.11a/n (5 GHz). Les radars haute puissance sont allous en tant quusagers principaux (ce qui signifie quils ont la priorit) de 5 250-5 350 MHz et 5 650-5 850 MHz et ces radars pourraient provoquer des interfrences ou encore des dommages lappareil. 9 132Q_Safety_6700_US 4-470-539-11 (1) The following FCC statements apply only to the version of this model manufactured for sale in the USA. Other versions may not comply with FCC technical regulations, and the FCC statements are not applicable in Canada, including the Province of QUEBEC. Lavis suivant de la FCC sapplique uniquement la version de ce modle fabriqu pour tre vendu aux .-U. Il est possible que dautres versions ne soient pas conformes aux rglements techniques de la FCC. Par ailleurs, lavis de la FCC ne sapplique pas au Canada, y compris dans la province de QUBEC. FCC Information (USA) 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:
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the users authority to operate the equipment. NOTE: The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by unauthorized modifications to this equipment. Such modifications could void the users authority to operate the equipment. Only peripherals (computer input/output devices, terminals, printers, etc.) that comply with FCC Class B limits may be attached to this computer product. Operation with noncompliant peripherals is likely to result in interference to radio and television reception. All cables used to connect peripherals must be shielded and grounded. Operation with cables connected to peripherals that are not shielded and grounded may result in interference to radio and television reception. 10 132Q_Safety_6700_US 4-470-539-11 (1) FCC/IC Radio Frequency Exposure 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. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65 and RSS-102 of the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating with any other antenna or transmitter except Grant condition. The personal computer contains a Wireless transmitter which is co-located and operating simultaneously with an up to 5 mW NFC reader/writer module FCC ID: NKR-DFCN67H. Exposition aux radiofrquences FCC/IC Selon les preuves scientifiques disponibles, aucun problme de sant nest associ lutilisation dappareils sans fil de faible puissance. Rien ne prouve cependant que ces appareils sont absolument sans danger. Lorsquils sont utiliss, les appareils sans fil de faible puissance mettent de faibles niveaux dnergie radiofrquence (RF) dans la gamme des hyperfrquences. Bien que les niveaux levs de radiofrquence puissent avoir un effet sur la sant (rchauffement des tissus), lexposition de faibles niveaux nayant pas deffet thermique na aucun impact ngatif connu sur la sant. De nombreuses tudes sur lexposition aux radiofrquences de faible niveau nont rvl aucun effet biologique. Certaines dentre elles ont sous-entendu quil pourrait y avoir de tels effets, mais leurs rsultats nont pas t confirms par des recherches supplmentaires. Cet equipement a ete teste et sest avere conforme aux limites dexposition aux rayonnements definies par la FCC et IC pour lenvironnement non controle ; il repond aux regles sur lexposition aux rayonnements RF (radiofrequence) figurant dans le Supplement C de la norme OET65 de la FCC et a celles de la norme RSS-102 dIC. Cet appareil et sa ou ses antennes ne doivent pas tre placs proximit dautres antennes ou metteurs ni fonctionner avec eux, sauf autorisation spciale. IC RSS (Canada) For the 5GHz band only To prevent radio interference to the licensed service, this device is intended to be operated indoors and away from windows to provide maximum shielding. Equipment (or its transmit antenna) that is installed outdoors is subject to licensing. Pour la bande 5GHz seulement Pour empcher que cet appareil cause du brouillage au service faisant lobjet dune licence, il doit tre utilis lintrieur et devrait tre plac loin des fentres afin de fournir un cran de blindage maximal.
