Low power, Radio transmitter type devices (radio frequency (RF) wireless communication devices), 
operating in the 2.4 GHz band and/or 5.15 – 5.35 GHz band, may be present (embedded) in your 
notebook system. This section is only applicable if these devices are present. Refer to the system 
label to verify the presence of wireless devices.
Wireless devices that may be in your system are only qualified for use in Canada if an Industry 
Canada ID number is on the system label.
As a general guideline, a separation of 20 cm (8inches) between the wireless device and the body, 
for use of a wireless device near the body (this does not include extremities) is typical. This device

Operation of this device 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 of the device.
WarningTo prevent radio interference to licensed service or 
co-channel Mobile Satellite systems, 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.
WarningWireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not modify 
them in any way. Modification to a wireless device will void 
the authorization to use it. Contact Gateway for service.
WarningThe transmitting device embedded in this system may not 
be used with any antenna other than provide with the 
system.
WarningThe 802.11A radio LAN your system may have been

Unintentional emitter per ICES-003
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital 
apparatus as set out in the radio interference regulations of Industry Canada.
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites 
applicables aux appareils numériques de Classe B prescrites dans le règlement sur le brouillage 
radioélectrique édicté par Industrie Canada.
Telecommunications per Industry Canada CS-03
(for products fitted with an IC-compliant modem)
The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the 
equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operation, and safety 
requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the users’ 
satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should make sure that it is permissible to be connected to 
the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed 
using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the inside wiring associated with a 
single-line individual service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly. The 
customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent 
degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility 
designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or 
equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to 
disconnect the equipment.
Users should make sure, for their own protection, that the electrical ground connections of the 
power utility, telephone lines, and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected 
together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.
The Ringer Equivalence Number ( R E N )  a s s i g n e d  t o  e a c h  t e r m i n a l  d e v i c e  p r o v i d e s  a n  i n d i c a t i o n  o f  
the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The 
termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the 
requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.
WarningTo avoid electrical shock or equipment malfunction do not 
attempt to make electrical ground connections by yourself. 
Contact the appropriate inspection authority or an 
electrician, as appropriate.
