ComplianceStatements
The GoBook (IX250) computer 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.
The GoBook (IX250) computer complies with Part 68 of the FCC Rules. On the bottom of this equipment is a label
that contains, among other information, the FCC registration number and ringer equivalence number (REN) for this
equipment. If requested, this information must be provided to the telephone company.
The REN is used to determine the quantity of devices which may be connected to the telephone line. Excessive
RENs on the telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all
areas, the sum of the RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be
connected to the line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the telephone company to determine the maximum
REN for the calling area.
The GoBook (IX250) computer may be connected to the telephone network using the RJ-11 jack provided.

you believe it is necessary.
The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that could affect the
operation of the equipment. If this happens, the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to
make the necessary modifications in order to maintain uninterrupted service.
If trouble is experienced with this equipment, please contact the equipment manufacturer for repair and/or warranty
information. Do not attempt repairs of this equipment yourself without obtaining manufacturer authorized parts and

customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some
situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be made by a representative designated by the supplier. Any repairs or
alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications
company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.

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 3 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.
