Ce dispositif est conforme à la norme CNR-210 d’Industrie
Canada applicable aux appareils radio exempts de licence. Son fonctionnement est sujet aux deux conditions suivantes:
1) le dispositif ne doit pas produire de brouillage préjudiciable, et
2) ce dispositif doit accepter tout brouillage reçu, y compris un brouillage susceptible de provoquer un fonctionnement indésirable
Federal Communications Commission Declaration of
Conformity
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:
•
•
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 dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.”
FCC Caution
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Canada Notice for Licence-Exempt Radio Apparatus
This device complies with RSS-210 of the Industry Canada
Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
Industry Canada Class B emission compliance statement
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-
003. Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.
Mexico Statement
La operación de este equipo está sujeta a las siguientes dos condiciones: (1) es posible que este equipo o dispositivo no cause interferencia perjudicial y (2) este equipo o dispositivo debe aceptar cualquier interferencia, incluyendo la que pueda causar su operación no deseada.
FCC Identification Information
The following information is provided on the device or devices covered in this document in compliance with FCC regulations:
• Model number(s): CN15-A5
• Contact for FCC matters:
VIZIO, Inc.
39 Tesla
Irvine, CA 92618
Wireless Radio Use
This device is restricted to indoor use when operating in the
5.15 to 5.25 GHz frequency band.
FCC Bluetooth Wireless Compliance
The antenna used with this transmitter must not be colocated or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter subject to the conditions of the FCC Rules set forth above.
30
Exposure to Radio Frequency
Wireless radios and Bluetooth devices emit radio frequency electromagnetic energy like other radio devices. While the level of energy is less than other wireless devices (such as mobile phones), you are advised to use the wireless equipment in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized.
Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Capacity
Computer (Internal) HDD Capacity
The HDD capacity on VIZIO computers may appear to be smaller than the size stated in the product specifications, documentation or on the packaging. This is because manufacturers describe and advertise HDD space in terms of decimal capacity, a base of powers of 10. For example, one Gigabyte (GB) means 10 9 = 1,000,000,000 bytes.
However, Microsoft® Windows and other operating systems and programs report storage capacity using powers of two. Thus, 1 GB = 2
30
= 1,073,741,824 bytes, and shows less storage space. Smaller capacity may also be reported by the Windows Explorer tool based on information about only one partition of the HDD at a time, with free space reduced by a hidden service or system recovery partition.
Available storage capacity will also be less if the computer includes one or more pre-installed operating systems, pre-installed software applications or media content. The storage capacity of the HDD is as advertised but the actual formatted capacity may vary.
Greener Methods
ENERGY STAR
®
The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) ENERGY STAR® program is a joint effort between the EPA and manufacturers to promote energy-efficient products. Any VIZIO product bearing the ENERGY STAR emblem on the product or during a start-up screen has been certified to comply with the EPA
ENERGY STAR requirements as shipped by VIZIO.
The Power Management feature enables the computer to enter a low-power (or “sleep”) mode after a period of inactivity. To take advantage of this energy savings, the
Power Management feature has been preset to power down the computer and monitor after the following specified periods of inactivity:
Operating
System
Computer Monitor
On Battery Windows 8 15 minutes 5 minutes
Plugged In Windows 8 30 minutes 10 minutes
Both the computer and monitor can be woken from sleep mode through user interaction with any of the computer input devices (mouse, keyboard, and so on). You can help reduce electricity usage by shutting down your computer when it is not in use for longer periods of time, such as at night and on weekends. For more information on the
ENERGY STAR program, visit: www.energystar.gov.
Screen Savers and Power Settings
Screen savers may prevent your computer from going to sleep and as a result waste power. Screen savers may also reduce the life of your monitor by increasing the number of hours the LCD backlight is on. The power settings of your computer are set to minimize energy use while maintaining optimal performance. Because of this VIZIO recommends that you do not disable the power settings.
Reduced Paper Use
For some products, VIZIO provides online-only user manuals.
This enables us to reduce our carbon footprint and cut down on paper waste. It also allows us to make frequent product updates, and ensures that you always have the most recent product information. Products with an onlineonly user manual are packaged with a printed Quick Start
Guide to help you get up and running quickly.

Caution: Avoid exposing a drive to magnetic fi elds. Security devices with magnetic fi elds may include airport walk-through devices and security wands. Airport conveyor belts or similar security devices that check carry-on luggage generally use
X-rays and should not cause magnetic damage to drives.
Laptop computers use a lithium-ion or a nickel metal hydride battery and a builtin battery that operates as a reserve battery. The Laptop computer built-in battery is an extended-life battery and might not need to be replaced. However, should you need to replace it, the procedure must be performed by an authorized service technician. If you are traveling internationally, check the customs regulations for computer use for each country you will visit, and check the power cord and adapter requirements for each location in which you plan to use the computer as voltage, frequency and plug confi gurations may vary.
Warning: To reduce risk of electric shock, fi re or damage to your computer or other property, do not attempt to power the computer with a voltage converter kit sold for appliances.
Caution: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries properly. Contact MRM or your local waste disposal agency to assist with battery recycling for any spent or damaged battery.
If the computer will be unused and disconnected from external power for more than 2 weeks, remove the battery and store separately. If shipping the computer, use appropriate protective packaging and label the package “FRAGILE.”
