Information sheet
Wireless Interoperability
The Atheros AR5004G Wireless Network Adapter products are designed to be interoperable with any wireless LAN product that is
based on Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) /Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing(OFDM) radio technology, and
is compliant to:
¦
The IEEE 802.11 Standard on Wireles s LANs(Revision B/G), as defined and approved by the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers.
¦
The Wireless Fidelity(Wi-Fi) certification as defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance. The “Wi-Fi CERTIFIED” logo is a certification
mark of the Wi-Fi Alliance.
CAUTION
Bluetooth™ and WirelessLAN devices operate within the same radio frequency range and may interfere with one another. If you
use Bluetooth™ and WirelessLAN devices simultaneously, you may occasionally experience a less than optimal network
performance or even lose your network connection.
If you should experience any such problem, immediately turn off either one of your Bluetooth™ or WirelessLAN.
Please contact Toshiba PC product support on web site
http://www.toshiba-europe.com/computers/tnt/bluetooth.htm in Europe or
http://www.pc.support.global.toshiba.com in the United States for more information.
Wireless LAN and your Health
Wireless LAN products, like other radio devices, emit radio frequency electromagnetic energy. The level of energy emitted by
Wireless LAN devices however is far much less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices like for example
mobile phones.
Because Wireless LAN products operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations,
TOSHIBA believes Wireless LAN is safe for use by consumers. These standards and recommendations reflect the consensus of
the scientific 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 Wireless LAN may be restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible
representatives of the organization. These situations may for example include:
¦
Using the Wireless LAN equipment on board of airplanes, or
¦
In any other environment where the risk of interference to other devices or services is perceived or
identified as harmful.
If you are uncertain of the policy that applies on the use of wireless devices in a specific organization or environment (e.g.
airports), you are encouraged to ask for authorization to use the Wireless LAN device prior to turning on the equipment.
Regulatory Information
The Atheros AR5004G Wireless Network Adapter must be installed and used in strict accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions as described in the user documentation that comes with the product. This device complies with the following radio
frequency and safety standards.

The term "IC" before the equipment certification number only signifies that the Industry Canada technical specifications were met.
Canada – Industry Canada (IC)
This device complies with RSS 210 of Industry Canada.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of this device.”
L ‘ utilisation de ce dispositif est autorisée seulement aux conditions suivantes : (1) il ne doit pas produire de brouillage et (2) l’
utilisateur du dispositif doit étre prêt à accepter tout brouillage radioélectriq ue reçu, même si ce brouillage est susceptible de
compromettre le fonctionnement du dispositif.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent
isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for successful communication.
To prevent radio interference to the licens ed service, this device is intended to be operated indoors and away from windows to
provide maximum shielding. Equipment (or its transmit antenna) that is installed outdoors is subject to licensing.
Pour empecher que cet appareil cause du brouillage au service faisant l'objet d'une licence, il doit etre utilize a l'interieur et devrait
etre place loin des fenetres afin de Fournier un ecram de blindage maximal. Si le matriel (ou son antenne d'emission) est installe a
l'exterieur, il doit faire l'objet d'une licence.
