The Bluetooth Card was not developed or produced for use with equipment in systems that directly
support the medical welfare of individuals¹ or systems that are critical for the maintenance of public
welfare and safety². Do not use the Bluetooth Card for these purposes.
1: These include life-support systems, surgery room equipment, and other medical devices.
2: These include the main equipment control systems and safety protection systems at nuclear
power facilities, other critical safety systems, fleet transportation operating control systems, and
air traffic control systems.
Do not disassemble, modify or try to service this product yourself.
This may cause injury. Unapproved changes or modifications to this product could void your
authority to operate this product. Please contact the dealer from whom you purchased this product
and request repair service.
Do not use this product in areas where the use of electrical devices is prohibited, such as on board
an aircraft and in a hospital.
If you are uncertain whether electrical devices are prohibited, please consult the proper authorities
and follow all instructions. Usage in prohibited areas can cause an accident due to radio
interference with equipment such as aviation and medical equipment.
Failure to maintain this distance can cause a malfunction of the pacemaker due to radio
interference.
Do not use the Bluetooth Card near an automated controlling device, such as an automatic door or
fire alarm.
Failure to do so can cause an accident due to radio interference with the automated controlling
device.
Immediately discontinue use of the Bluetooth Card if it causes radio interference with other devices.
Continued use of the Bluetooth Card can cause other devices to malfunction and thereby create an
accident.
Keep the product out of the reach of children, as it may be accidentally swallowed or cause
injury.
Tips for Safe Handling
• The Bluetooth Card uses radio waves to communicate with other Bluetooth devices. Therefore,
the communications performance of the card may change and nearby electrical devices may
experience radio interference depending on the location, orientation of the card, and operating
environment.
• Do not use the Bluetooth in the vicinity of a microwave oven. The radio interference from a
microwave oven can adversely affect the communications performance of the card or cause
communications errors.
• Do not use the Bluetooth in the vicinity of a wireless local area network (LAN). Radio
interference can adversely affect the communications performance of the card or cause
communications errors.
• Do not use the Bluetooth atop a metallic surface or adjacent to metallic objects, as this can
adversely affect the communications performance of the card.
• Do not use the Bluetooth while the Toshiba Pocket PC is inside your pocket or next to your
body, as this can adversely affect the communications performance of the card.
• Because the Bluetooth uses radio waves to communicate with other Bluetooth devices, the
data sent and received might be intercepted by a third party. Please use caution. You can
encrypt the data for increased confidentiality and protection. (Enable Encryption in the
Security Mode of the security settings.) Toshiba Corporation is in no way liable for losses
resulting from the interception of sent or received data.
• Do not turn off the Bluetooth power or turn off the power of your Toshiba Pocket PC
immediately after starting the Bluetooth (within 5 seconds) or when you are using the
Bluetooth to communicate. The Bluetooth may not work properly.
The radio frequency band used by the Bluetooth Card is shared with specified low power radio
stations (hereafter, “other stations”) not subject to licensing and private radio stations for mobile
systems subject to licensing for use in production lines at plants that produce microwave ovens and
other industrial, scientific, and medical devices.
1. Before using this product, make sure that there are no “other stations” operating nearby.
2. If radio interference from this product is adversely affecting “other stations,” immediately change
your location or discontinue use of the product to avoid any further interference.
RF Exposure Warning Statement:
IMPORTANT NOTE: To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, this device and
its antenna must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter. This device has not been investigated for FCC RF exposure compliance for portable
configuration with any other antenna or transmitter except for the Bluetooth transmitter installed
by Toshiba Corp. CF Card Slot or SD Card Slot can not be used for adding any other transmitter.
