Radio Approvals Zebra Wireless WLAN printers are only approved for use in certain countries. In no event
shall Zebra be liable for uses of Zebra Wireless WLAN printers that are contrary to local law. To determine
whether you are allowed to use your Zebra Wireless WLAN printer in a specific country, check to see if the radio type
number that is printed on the identification label of your device is listed on the radio approval list posted on the Zebra
support site at http://support.zebra.com/.
In countries other than the United States and Japan, verify that the Location setting from the Regional Options tab in
Regional and Language Options (from Zebra Toolset) has been set to the country in which you are using your Zebra
Wireless WLAN printer. This ensures compliance with local regulatory restrictions on transmit power and optimizes
network performance. Any deviation from the permissible power and frequency settings for the country of use could
be an infringement of local law and may be punished as such.
