The default BIOS settings apply to most conditions of your Notebook  
PC. Do not change the default BIOS settings except in the following  
circumstances:  
An error message appears onscreen during system bootup and  
requests you to run the BIOS Setup.  
You have installed a new system component that requires further  
BIOS settings or updates.  
WARNING: Using inappropriate BIOS settings may result to system  
instability or boot failure. We strongly recommend that you change the  
BIOS settings only with the help of a trained service personnel.

DVD-ROM Drive Information  
(on selected models)  
The DVD-ROM drive allows you to view and create your own CDs and DVDs. You  
can purchase an optional DVD viewer software to view DVD titles.  
Regional Playback Information  
Playback of DVD movie titles involves decoding MPEG2 video, digital AC3 audio  
and decryption of CSS protected content. CSS (sometimes called copy guard) is  
the name given to the content protection scheme adopted by the motion picture  
industry to satisfy a need to protect against unlawful content duplication.  
Although the design rules imposed on CSS licensors are many, one rule that is  
most relevant is playback restrictions on regionalized content. In order to facilitate  
geographically staggered movie releases, DVD video titles are released for specific  
geographic regions as defined in “Region Definitions” below. Copyright laws require  
that all DVD movies be limited to a particular region (usually coded to the region at  
which it is sold). While DVD movie content may be released for multiple regions, CSS  
design rules require that any system capable of playing CSS encrypted content must  
only be capable of playing one region.  
IMPORTANT! The region setting may be changed up to five times using the viewer  
software, then it can only play DVD movies for the last region setting. Changing the  
region code after that will require factory resetting which is not covered by warranty. If  
resetting is desired, shipping and resetting costs will be at the expense of the user.

Internal Modem Compliancy  
The Notebook PC with internal modem model complies with JATE (Japan), FCC  
(US, Canada, Korea, Taiwan), and CTR21. The internal modem has been approved  
in accordance with Council Decision 98/482/EC for pan-European single terminal  
connection to the public switched telephone network (PSTN). However due  
to differences between the 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.  
98  
Notebook PC E-Manual  
Overview  
On 4th August 1998 the European Council Decision regarding the CTR 21 has  
been published in the Official Journal of the EC. The CTR 21 applies to all non  
voice terminal equipment with DTMF-dialling which is intended to be connected  
to the analogue PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network).  
CTR 21 (Common Technical Regulation) for the attachment requirements for  
connection to the analogue public switched telephone networks of terminal  
equipment (excluding terminal equipment supporting the voice telephony  
justified case service) in which network addressing, if provided, is by means of  
dual tone multifrequency signalling.  
Network Compatibility Declaration  
Statement to be made by the manufacturer to the Notified Body and the vendor:  
“This declaration will indicate the networks with which the equipment is designed  
to work and any notified networks with which the equipment may have inter-  
working difficulties.”  
Statement to be made by the manufacturer to the user: “This declaration will  
indicate the networks with which the equipment is designed to work and any  
notified networks with which the equipment may have inter-working difficulties.  
The manufacturer shall also associate a statement to make it clear where network  
compatibility is dependent on physical and software switch settings. It will also  
advise the user to contact the vendor if it is desired to use the equipment on  
another network.”  
Up to now the Notified Body of CETECOM issued several pan-European approvals  
using CTR 21. The results are Europe’s first modems which do not require  
regulatory approvals in each individual European country.  
Non-Voice Equipment  
Answering machines and loud-speaking telephones can be eligible as well as  
modems, fax machines, auto-dialers and alarm systems. Equipment in which the  
end-to-end quality of speech is controlled by regulations (e.g. handset telephones  
and in some countries also cordless telephones) is excluded.

1 National requirements will apply only if the equipment may use pulse dialling  
(manufacturers may state in the user guide that the equipment is only intended to  
support DTMF signalling, which would make any additional testing superfluous).  
In The Netherlands additional testing is required for series connection and caller  
ID facilities.  
Federal Communications Commission  
Interference Statement  
This device complies with FCC Rules Part 15. Operation is subject to the following  
two conditions:  
This device may not cause harmful interference.  
This device must accept any interference received, including interference  
that may cause undesired operation.  
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a class  
B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission  
(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.  
Notebook PC E-Manual

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.  
WARNING! The use of a shielded-type power cord is required in order to meet  
FCC emission limits and to prevent interference to the nearby radio and television  
reception. It is essential that only the supplied power cord be used. Use only shielded  
cables to connect I/O devices to this equipment. You are cautioned that changes or  
modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could  
void your authority to operate the equipment.
