Warnings and Cautions
WARNING It is important that only authorized Itronix personnel attempt repairs on Itronix equipment as this might
void any maintenance contract with your company. Unauthorized service personnel might be subject to shock hazard
on some Itronix equipment if removal of protective covers is attempted.
The product you have purchased is powered by a rechargeable battery. The battery is recyclable and, under various
state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery into the municipal waste stream. Do not crush the
battery or place it in a fire. Check with your local solid-waste officials for details on recycling options or proper
disposal.
CAUTION Internal components of the GoBook (IX250) computer will be damaged if exposed to contaminants.
When dust covers, the PC card door, or the battery door are open on the computer, shield the unit from all
contaminants such as liquids, rain, snow, and dust.
WARNING “In order to comply with the FCC RF exposure requirements this device must be operated with a
minimum seperation distance of 20 cm between the user/nearby persons and the antenna in its intended vertical
operating position.”
“The antenna location is fixed in the upper right edge of the display screen and is not to be relocated”
“The equipment has been approved to [Commission Decision “CTR21”] for pan-European single terminal connec-
tion to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). However, due to differences between individual PSTNs
provided in different countries the approval does not, of itself, give an unconditional assurance of successful
operation on every PSTN network termination point.
In the event of problems, you should contact your equipment supplier in the first instance.
