FCC Bluetooth Wireless Compliance

The antenna used with this transmitter must not be co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter subject to the conditions of the FCC Rules set forth above.

Exposure to Radio Frequency

Wireless radios and Bluetooth devices emit radio frequency electromagnetic energy like other radio devices. While the level of energy is less than other wireless devices (such as mobile phones), you are advised to use the wireless equipment in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized.

Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Capacity Computer (Internal) HDD Capacity

Due to pre-installed software, media content, etc., the HDD capacity on VIZIO computers may appear to be smaller than the size stated in the product specifications, documentation or on the packaging. The storage capacity of the HDD is as advertised but the actual formatted capacity may vary.

Greener Methods

ENERGY STAR®

The Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) ENERGY STAR® program is a joint effort between the EPA and manufacturers to promote energy-efficient products. Any VIZIO product bearing the ENERGY STAR emblem on the product or during a start-up screen has been certified to comply with the EPA ENERGY STAR requirements as shipped by VIZIO.

The Power Management feature enables the computer to enter a low-power (or "sleep") mode after a period of inactivity. To take advantage of this energy savings, the Power Management feature has been preset to power down the computer and monitor after the following specified periods of inactivity:

	Operating System	Computer Monitor
On Battery	Windows 7 10	minutes 2 minutes
Plugged In	Windows 7 15	minutes 5 minutes

Both the computer and monitor can be woken from sleep mode through user interaction with any of the computer input devices (mouse, keyboard, and so on). You can help reduce electricity usage by shutting down your computer when it is not in use for longer periods of time, such as at night and on weekends. For more information on the ENERGY STAR program, visit: www.energystar.gov.

Screen Savers and Power Settings

Screen savers may prevent your computer from going to sleep and as a result waste power. Screen savers may also reduce the life of your monitor by increasing the number of hours the LCD backlight is on. The power settings of your computer are set to minimize energy use while maintaining optimal performance. Because of this VIZIO recommends that you do not disable the power settings.

Reduced Paper Use

For some products, VIZIO provides online-only user manuals. This enables us to reduce our carbon footprint and cut down on paper waste. It also allows us to make frequent product updates, and ensures that you always have the most recent product information. Products with an online-only user manual are packaged with a printed Quick Start Guide to help you get up and running quickly.

VIZIO's return policy allows for computers purchased directly from VIZIO to be returned by the original purchaser during the initial 30 day period following the date of purchase. First, you must obtain a VIZIO

return authorization number for each item and part to be returned as provided below. The refund will be the purchase price actually paid by the purchaser, less shipping and handling and any applicable restocking fee. For partial returns, your credit may be less than the invoice or individual component price based on bundled pricing or any promotional discounts or other reductions.

Unless the computer is defective or the return is a direct result of a VIZIO error, VIZIO may charge up to 10% of the purchase price paid as a restocking fee per each item returned. Shipping and handling for returning the computer to VIZIO must be paid for by you and is not refundable.

The return authorization number must first be obtained from VIZIO's Customer Service by emailing [e-mail] or by calling [phone], 5:00AM to 7:00PM Pacific Time. Please note that holiday hours may vary. For up to date information, please visit www.VIZIO.com.

All return authorization numbers must be included in the packaging. VIZIO reserves the right to assess fees for any damaged or missing parts in addition to the 10% restocking fee. Return authorization numbers are valid for only 15 days from issuance. This means that you must ship the computer(s) and/or part(s) to VIZIO within 15 days of your receipt of the return authorization number.

Upon receipt of your return, as long as such return complies with this return policy and as authorized by VIZIO in its sole discretion, VIZIO will issue a credit or a refund of the purchase price paid, less shipping and handling and any applicable restocking fees.

For defective products, please see VIZIO's "Limited Warranty".

Traveling with Your Computer

Please consult and follow air travel restrictions applicable to electronic devices and the use and transportation of battery packs. In-flight use of computers is at the discretion of the airline. Please check with the airline in advance.

For best results, follow these additional traveling and shipping tips:

To prepare the computer for traveling or shipping: (1) Back-up your data, (2) Remove all discs and all external media/ digital cards, (3) Shut down and then disconnect all external devices, and (3) Shut down the computer. Make and bring a back-up of your data, but keep the back-up separate from the computer.

Caution: To reduce the risk of damage to the computer, damage to a drive, or loss of data, remove the data from a drive before removing the drive from a drive bay and before shipping, storing or traveling with that drive.

When traveling by airplane, bring the computer as carry-on luggage and do not check the computer in with your checked-in luggage.

Caution: Avoid exposing a drive to magnetic fi elds. Security devices with magnetic fi elds may include airport walk-through devices and security wands. Airport conveyor belts or similar security devices that check carry-on luggage generally use X-rays and should not cause magnetic damage to drives.

If you are traveling internationally, check the customs regulations for computer use for each country you will visit, and check the power cord and adapter requirements for each location in which you plan to use the computer as voltage, frequency and plug configurations may vary.

Warning: To reduce risk of electric shock, fire or damage to your computer or other property, do not attempt to power the computer with a voltage converter kit sold for appliances.

If the computer will be unused and disconnected from external power for more than 2 weeks, remove the battery and store separately. If shipping the computer, use appropriate protective packaging and label the package "FRAGILE."

Battery Disposal

Caution: Battery cells may explode. Do not dispose of the battery in a fire or with ordinary household waste. Dispose of batteries promptly. Replace the battery only with the same or equivalent type of battery recommended by VIZIO. Contact MRM or your local waste disposal agency to assist with battery recycling for any spent or damaged battery.

Laptop computers use a lithium-ion or a nickel metal hydride battery and a built-in battery that operates as a reserve battery. The Laptop computer built-in battery is an extended-life battery and might not need to be replaced. However, should you need to replace it, the procedure must be performed by an authorized service technician.

Caution: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries properly. Contact MRM or your local waste disposal agency to assist with battery recycling for any spent or damaged battery.
