Industry Canada Requirement
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003. Cet appareil numérique de la classe B est conformé à la norme NMB-003
du Canada.
FCC Requirements
The following information is pursuant to FCC CFR 47, Part 68 and refers to internal modems.
Installation
When you are ready to install or use the modem, call your local telephone company and give them the following information:
The telephone number of the line to which you will connect the
modem.
The FCC registration number of the modem. The ringer equivalence number (REN) of the modem, which is 0.6B.
The modem connects to the telephone line by means of a standard jack called the USOC RJ11C.
Type of Service
Your modem is designed to be used on standard-device telephone lines. Connection to telephone company-provided coin service (central office implemented systems) is prohibited. Connection to party lines service is subject to State tariffs. If you have any questions about your telephone line, such as how many pieces of equipment you can connect to it, the telephone company will provide this information upon request.
Telephone Company Procedures
The goal of the telephone company is to provide you with the best service it can. In order to do this, it may occasionally be necessary for them to make changes in their equipment, operations or procedures. If these changes might affect your service or the operation of your equipment, the telephone
company will give you notice, in writing, to allo w you to make any changes necessary to maintain uninterrupted service.
If Problems Arise
If any of your telephone equipment is not operating properly, you should immediately remove it from your telephone line, as it may cause harm to the telephone network. If the telephone company notes a problem, they may temporarily discontinue service. When practical, they will notify you in advance of this disconnection. If advance notice is not feasible, you will be notified as soon as possible. When you are notified, you will be given the opportunity to correct the problem and informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC. In the event repairs are ever needed on your modem, they should be performed by Toshiba Corporation, Toshiba America Information Systems, Inc. or an authorized representative of Toshiba.
Disconnection
If you should ever decide to permanently disconnect your modem from its present line, please call the telephone company and let them know of this change.
Fax Branding
The Telephon e Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful to use a computer or other electronic device to send any message via a telephone fax machine unless such message clearly contains in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent and an identification of the business, other entity or individual sending the message and the telephone number of the sending machine or such business, other entity or individual.
In order to program this information into your fax modem, you should complete the setup for your fax software before sending a message.

Instructions for IC CS-03 certified equipment
1 NOTICE: The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment.
This certification means that the equipment meets ce rtain telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements as prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Te chnical Requirements document(s). The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. The customer should be
6
aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.
Caution: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.
2 The user manual of analog equipment must contain the equipment’s
Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) and an explanation notice similar to the following:
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) of this device can be found on the label affixed to your computer.
NOTICE: The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface may consist of an y combination o f devic es subject only to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equiva lence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.

Wireless Interoperability
The TOSHIBA Wireless LAN Mini PCI Card products are designed to be interoperable with any wireless LAN product that is based on Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) radio technology, and is compliant to:
The IEEE 802.11 Standard on Wireless LANs (Revision A/B), as
defined and approved by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
The Wireless Fidelity(WiFi) certification as defined by the WECA
Wireless Ethernet Compati bility Alliance.
Caution
Bluetooth™ and Wireless LAN devices operate within the same radio frequency range and may interfere with one another. If you use Bluetooth™ and Wireless LAN 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 Wireless LAN.
Please contact T oshiba PC prod uct s upp ort on web site http://www.toshiba­europe.com/computers/tnt/bluetooth.htm in Europe or http://www.pcsupport.global.toshiba.com in the United States for more information.
Caution
This device is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to
5.85 GHz frequency range.
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 Wi reless LAN is safe for use by consumers. These standards and recommendations reflect the consensus of the scientif ic 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 representati v es 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 de vice prior to turning on the equipment.
