Do not place the computer with EDGE modem in an area over an air bag or in the  
vicinity where an air bag may deploy.  
Air bags inflate with great force and if the computer with EDGE modem is placed in the  
air bag deployment area may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to  
occupants of the vehicle.  
IMPORTANT!  
Personal Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating EDGE modem operate  
using radio signals and cellular networks cannot be guaranteed to connect in all  
conditions. Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any wireless device for  
essential communications, for example emergency calls.  
Remember, in order to make or receive calls, Personal Computer or Handheld  
Computer incorporating EDGE modem must be switched on and in a service area  
with adequate cellular signal strength.  
Some networks do not allow for emergency calls if certain network services or  
phone features are in use (e.g. lock functions, fixed dialing etc.). You may need to  
deactivate those features before you can make an emergency call.  
Some networks require that a valid SIM card be properly inserted in Personal  
Computer or Handheld Computer incorporating EDGE modem.

against harmful interference in a residential installation.This equipment generates, uses and can radi-  
ate 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 encour-  
aged 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.
