Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as power-supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, the apparatus has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped. 2 WARNING To reduce the risk of fire or shock hazard, do not expose the TV to rain or moisture. This equipment must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. FCC Radiation Exposure Statement: 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. Many studies of low level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. The LF-X11 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 LFX11 has been show to be 2.4GHz 1.42 W/kg,5.2GHz 0.45 W/kg at Body. * This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. * When using the unit with 802.11a (5.15-5.25GHz), use indoors. This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of uninsulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock to persons. This symbol is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance. CAUTION Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace only with the same or equivalent type. LF-X11 Contains FCC ID : AK8IRF303 Contains IC : 409B-IRF303 Heat Do not let this unit get wet. Never spill liquid of any kind on the unit. If any liquid or solid object fall through the unit, do not operate the unit. It may result in electric shock or damage to the unit. No naked flame sources, such as lighted candles, should be placed on the apparatus. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. 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. The Base Station and/or the AC power adapter may heat up during operation. This is not a malfunction. Note on using the Monitor Avoid touching hot areas of the surface of the product for long periods, especially if you have sensitive skin. Doing so may cause swellings or blisters as symptoms of moderate temperature burn. 3 Continued NOTIFICATION 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 with 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. RECYCLING LITHIUMION RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES Lithium-Ion batteries are recyclable.

To decrease this danger, the LocationFree TV supports various security functions. Be sure to correctly configure the security settings in accordance with your intended purpose and network environment. Wireless LAN security function of the LocationFree TV · No encryption Because raw data is transmitted, there is a danger of interception. This setting is not available for wireless LAN communication between the Base Station and the Monitor. · WEP WEP is the wireless LAN security technology specified by IEEE802.11. It applies encryption to communications. There are two types of encryption key length; 64-bit key and 128-bit key. The 128-bit encryption key assures a higher security level. A decryption technique exists, however, so using the same encryption key for an extended period of time is not recommended. · WPA-PSK with TKIP encryption WPA is a security technology developed to correct for the deficiencies of WEP. The LocationFree TV utilizes WPA together with TKIP encryption. WPA-PSK with TKIP encryption assures the highest security level among the technologies supported by the LocationFree TV. Security settings of the LocationFree TV · The security for wireless LAN communication between the Base Station and the Monitor is set to WEP as the factory default. To increase the security level, switch to WPA-PSK. Note, however, that the communication stability may differ depending on which technology you use, WEP or WPA-PSK. · When connecting the Monitor to a wireless LAN environment other than that for communication with the Base Station, the Monitor should be configured in accordance with the security setting of the wireless LAN environment. For settings information, contact the network administrator. 5 Contents About Wireless Security ........................................................................................ 5 What is LocationFree TV? .................................................................................. 10 Identifying Parts and Controls ............................................................................. 11 Preparations ................................................................ 14 Checking the Package Contents ..........................................................................
