Caution

Bluetooth and WirelessLAN devices operate within the
same radio frequency range and may interfere with one
another. If you use Bluetooth and W irelessLAN de vices
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 W irelessLAN.

For more information, please visit T oshiba’s support
support site at www.pcsupport.toshiba.com.

Wireless LAN and your Health

Wireless LAN products, like other radio de vices, emit
radio frequency electromagnetic energy. The level of
energy emitted by W ireless LAN devices ho we ver is far
much less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by
wireless devices, for example mobile phones.

Because Wireless LAN products operate within the
guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and
recommendations, T oshiba believes W ireless 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 W ireless
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

Updated Information for the Portégé® 3500/3505

❖ In any other environment where the risk of

interference to other devices or services is perceiv ed
or identified as harmful.

If you are uncertain of the policy that applies on the use of
wireless devices in a specific orga nization or environment
(e.g. airports), you are encouraged to ask for
authorization to use the Wireless LAN device prior to
turning on the equipment.
