Warning
Radio frequency wireless communication can interfere with
equipment on commercial aircraft. Current aviation
regulations require wireless devices to be turned off while
traveling in an airplane. 802.11B (also known as wireless
Ethernet or Wifi) and Bluetooth communication devices are
examples of devices that provide wireless communication.
Warning
In environments where the risk of interference to other
devices or services is harmful or perceived as harmful, the
option to use a wireless device may be restricted or
eliminated. Airports, Hospitals, and Oxygen or flammable
gas laden atmospheres are limited examples where use
of wireless devices may be restricted or eliminated. When
in environments where you are uncertain of the sanction
to use wireless devices, ask the applicable authority for
authorization prior to use or turning on the wireless device.
Warning
If your system came equipped with an internal embedded
wireless device, do not operate the wireless device unless
all covers and shields are in place and the system is fully
assembled.
Caution
Wireless devices are not user serviceable. Do not modify
them in any way. Modification to a wireless device will void
the authorization to use it. Please contact eMachines for
service.
www.eMachines.com
Caution
Important
Only use drivers approved for the country in which the
device will be used. See the eMachines Web site at
www.eMachines.com, or contact eMachines Customer
Care for additional information.
Every country has different restrictions on the use of
wireless devices. Since your system is equipped with a
wireless device, when traveling between countries with
your system, check with the local Radio Approval
authorities prior to any move or trip for any restrictions on
the use of a wireless device in the destination country.
