FCC Note:
This equipment 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.
FCC Caution:  To assure continued  compliance, follow the 
attached installation 
instructions and use only 
shielded interface cables 
with ferrite core when 
connecting to computer or 
peripheral devices.
Any changes or modifications not 
expressly approved by the party 
responsible for compliance could void

FCC RF Exposure Statement
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems\
 are associated 
with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power 
wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power wireless devices emit lo\
w levels of 
radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. W\
hereas high 
levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF 
that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many 
studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies 
have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been 
confirmed by additional research. DMC-TZ50 has been tested and found to \
comply with 
FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled equipment an\
d meets the FCC 
radio frequency (RF) Exposure Guidelines in Supplement C to OET65. Ple\
ase refer to the 
SAR test report that was uploaded at FCC website. This device should not be co-located 
or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
