Avis de L’Industrie Canada

REMARQUE : Cet équipement est conforme aux Spécifications Techniques des Équipements Terminaux d’Industrie Canada en vigueur.

L’indice d’équivalence de la sonnerie de ce matériel est de 0,1. L’indice d’équivalence de la sonnerie (IES) sert à indiquer le nombre maximal de termiaux qui peuvent être raccordés à une interface téléphonique. La terminaison d’une interface peut consister en une combinaison quelconque de dispositifs, à la seule condition que la somme d’indices d’équivalence de la sonnerie de tous les dispositifs n’excéde pas 5.

Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.

Pour empêcher que cet appareil cause du brouillage au service faisant l'objet d'une licence, il doit être utilisé à l'intérieur et devrait être placé loin des fenêtres afin de fournir un écran de blindage maximal. Si le matériel (ou son antenne d'émission) est installé à l'extérieur, il doit faire l'objet d'une licence.

FCC Radio Frequency Exposure and SAR

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.

Governments around the world have adopted comprehensive international safety guidelines, developed by scientific organizations, e.g. ICNIRP (International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiations Protection) and IEEE (The

Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineering Inc.), through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. These guidelines establish permitted levels of radio wave exposure of the general population. The levels include a safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health, and to account for any variations in measurements.

Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) is the unit of measurement for the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body when using a transceiver. The SAR value is determined at the highest certified power level in laboratory conditions, but the actual SAR level of the transceiver while operating can be well below this value. This is because the transceiver is designed to use the minimum power required to reach the network.

Variations in SAR below the radio frequency exposure guidelines do not mean that there are variations in safety.

While there may be differences in SAR levels among mobile phones, VAIO PC is designed to meet radio frequency exposure guidelines.

Before VAIO PC is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by government-adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations as required by the FCC for each model. For body worn operations, this PC has been tested and meets FCC

RF exposure guidelines for fixed and mobile use as normal PC use.

13

Sony has not measured and makes no representation about, the body worn SAR levels when any changes to the original product.

(For PCG-4K1L models with wireless LAN and wireless WAN) The personal computer (PCG-4K1L) has been tested and found to comply with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) guidelines on radio frequency energy (RF) exposures. The maximum SAR levels tested for the personal computer (PCG-4K1L) has been shown to be 0.456 W/kg.

This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating with any other antenna or transmitter except Grant condition. Users are not permitted to modify this transmitter device. Any unauthorized change made to this device could void your authority to operate this device.

(Wireless WAN and Wireless LAN transmitter do not operate simultaneously.)

IC RSS-210 (Canada)

Operation 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.

L’utilisation de ce dispositif est autorisée seulement aux conditions suivantes : (1) il ne doit pas produire de brouillage et (2) l’utilisateur du dispositif doit être prêt à accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique reçu, même si ce brouillage est susceptible de compromettre le fonctionnement du dispositif.

IC Exposure of Humans to RF Fields

The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed such that it does not emit RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population; consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from Health

Canada’s Web site: www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb.

L’installateur du présent matériel radio doit s’assurer que l’antenne est située ou pointée de maniére à ce que cette derniére n’émette pas de champs radioélectriques supérieurs aux limites spécifiées par Santé Canada pour le grand public ; consulter le Code de sécurité 6, disponible sur le site Web de Santé Canada, à l’adresse suivante : www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb.

Personal Medical Devices

When Wireless WAN (EV-DO module) power is on the transmitting, it may affect the operation of cardiac pacemakers and other implanted equipment. If a minimum distance of 20 cm (8 inches) is kept between the PC and the pacemaker, the risk of interference is limited. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, immediately turn off WAN feature. Contact your cardiologist for more information.

For other medical devices, please consult the manufacture of the device.

Emergency Calls

EV-DO module that is embedded to Sony VAIO do not support voice calls, hence their use for essential communication is not possible.
