or Wireless LAN device.

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 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.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation

The radiated output power of the Toshiba Wireless LAN Card is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the Toshiba Wireless LAN Card shall be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Specific Absorption Rate (IEEE)

Your device is designed to be in compliance with Radio Waves exposure regulations and does not exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency electromagnetic fields) in accordance with the Federal Trade Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry Canada (IC). A substantial safety margin is set to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of health.

A unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption rate, or SAR is utilized for the radio wave exposure guidelines. The SAR measurement for devices does not exceed 1.6W/kg.

The actual SAR values for your device, while in use, are normally well below the stated values. The operating power of your device is automatically decreased when full power is not needed for the wireless connection to increase system efficiency and to minimize interference on the network. The lower the power output of the device the lower its SAR value.

As stated by the World Health Organization, present scientific information indicates no special precautions are needed for the use of this device. To further reduce any exposure, limit your usage.

Precautions

Your device is designed to provide optimum safety and ease of use, and to withstand the rigors of travel. You should observe certain precautions to further reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the device.

Keep this device away from small children. This device is not a toy and may be hazardous to small children, for example, small detachable parts may be a choking hazard. Improper use of device could result in loud volume emitting from the device possibly causing hearing damage, and improper use and handling of batteries could result in possible injury.

Never place a heavy object on the device and be careful not to drop a heavy object onto the device. It could damage the device or cause system failure.

❖ Never turn off the device if a drive light indicates a drive is active.

Turning off the device while it is reading from or writing to an external hard drive or flash media may damage the disk or flash media.

❖ Keep the device and disks away from objects that generate

strong magnetic fields, such as large stereo speakers.

❖ Scan all new files for viruses.

This precaution is especially important for files you receive via email or download from the Internet. Occasionally, even new programs you buy from a supplier may contain a virus. You need a special program to check for viruses.

File management tips

❖ Back up your files to external media on a regular basis. Label

the backup copies clearly and store them in a safe place. Your data stays in the device’s temporary memory until you

back it up to external media. If the network you are using goes down and you must restart your device to reconnect, or your battery runs out of charge while you are using your device, you will lose all data since you last backed it up. See “Backing up

your data” on page 46 for further information.

❖ Scan all new files for viruses.

This precaution is especially important for files you receive via external media, email, or download from the Internet.

❖ Do not turn off the device if a drive indicator light indicates a

drive is active.

Connecting to a power source

Your device requires power to operate. Use the power cord/cable and AC adaptor to connect the device to a live electrical outlet, or to charge the device’s battery.

Always confirm that the power plug (and extension cable plug if used) has been fully inserted into the socket, to ensure a secure electrical connection. Failure to do so may result in a fire or electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.

Be careful if you use a multiple connector. An overload on one socket could cause a fire or electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.

Always use the Toshiba AC adaptor that was provided with your device, or use AC adaptors specified by Toshiba to avoid any risk of fire or other damage to the device. Use of an incompatible AC adaptor could cause fire or damage to the device possibly resulting in serious injury. Toshiba assumes no liability for any damage caused by use of an incompatible adaptor.
