Statement FCC Compliance Statement

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Interference

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 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.

Bluetooth® Wireless Technology and Your Health

The products with Bluetooth® wireless technology, like other radio devices, emit radio frequency electromagnetic energy.

The level of energy emitted by devices with Bluetooth wireless technology however is much less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices such as mobile phones.

Because products with Bluetooth

wireless technology operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, TOSHIBA believes Bluetooth

wireless technology is safe for

use by consumers.

These standards and recommendations reﬂ ect the consensus of the scientiﬁ c community and result from deliberations of panels and committees of scientists who continually review and interpret the extensive research literature.

In some situations or environments, the use of

Bluetooth

wireless technology may be restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of the organization.

These situations may, for example, include in any other environment where the risk of interference to other devices or services is perceived or identiﬁ ed as harmful.

If you are uncertain of the policy that applies on the use of wireless devices in a speciﬁ c organization or environment (e.g. airports), you are encouraged to ask for authorization to use the device with

Bluetooth

wireless technology prior to turning on the equipment.

Precautions

On Safety

Do not handle the adapter power cord with wet hands.

When connecting or disconnecting the adapter power cord, grip the plug and not the cord itself. Pulling the cord may damage it and create a hazard. When you are not going to use the unit for a long period of time, disconnect the adapter power cord.

On Recycling

This unit’s packaging materials are recyclable and can be reused. Please dispose of any materials in accordance with your local recycling regulations.

Batteries should never be thrown away or incinerated but disposed of in accordance with your local regulations concerning chemical wastes.

To Change Battery

1 Open the battery door. 2 Insert one CR2025 (3V) size battery.

Never throw the battery into a ﬁ re. Doing so may cause the battery to explode. The remote control supplied with this product contains a button cell battery that could be ingested by children. Do not leave button cell batteries within reach of children.

Do not expose the remote sensor to a strong light source such as direct sunlight or other illumination. This can damage the sensor resulting in the inability to operate the unit via the remote control. There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace it only with the same or equivalent type.

Do not drop or expose the remote control to electric shock. Do not use the remote control in excessively hot or humid places. Do not spill water or place anything wet on the remote control. Do not open the remote control. If the remote control will not be used for a long period of time, remove the battery to avoid damage caused by battery leakage corrosion.

NOTE

If the remote control does not operate correctly, or if the operating range is reduced, replace the battery with a new one.

If the battery is dead or if you will not be using the remote control for a long time, remove the battery to prevent battery acid from leaking into the battery compartment.

Do not expose the battery to excessive heat such as from direct sunlight or ﬁ re.

When discarding the battery, environmental problems must be considered and local rules or laws governing the disposal of these battery must be strictly followed.

Press the remote control buttons at intervals of approximately one second to ensure correct operation.

About Sonic Emotion 3D Sound

Sonic Emotion Absolute 3D is the listening experience. Absolute 3D uses wave ﬁ eld synthesis and sound ﬁ eld reproduction to eliminate the physical dimensions of a room and transform it into a virtual sound ﬁ eld. With wave ﬁ eld synthesis, sonic waves are produced and dispersed throughout the listening room ensuring that localization of virtual sound sources does not depend on or change with the listener’s position. As in a natural environment, real sounds are heard from all around regardless of the device position.
