To customers without access to wireless LAN
Create a wireless LAN environment
You need an environment in which you can connect to the internet
by Wi-Fi to use the product.
This is because you need to communicate with digital book stores
on the internet to purchase digital books.
You need to do the following to connect to the internet via a wireless LAN from your home.
To communicate via wireless LAN
Check if the broad band router you are using has a built-in wireless
LAN access point function.
●
If the wireless LAN access point function is built-in
In this document, this type of device is called a wireless LAN
router. Wireless LAN transmissions are done between the product and the wireless LAN router.
●
If the wireless LAN access point function is not built-in
You need a separate device called a wireless LAN access point.
Wireless LAN transmissions are done between the product and
the wireless LAN access point.
Contact your internet service provider for details about broad band
routers.
You can purchase your own or rent a wireless LAN router or wireless LAN access point from an internet service provider.

Characteristics of wireless communications
■
There is a correlative relationship between the communication range and transmission rate of
wireless devices. The lower the transmission rate of the wireless communications, the broader the
communication range.
Memo
●
The range of communications of a wireless device is affected if the antenna is placed near a
metal surface or a dense solid object.
●
The range of transmissions is affected if obstructions in the path of the wireless signal being
transmitted reect or absorb the wireless signals.

Health effects
●
The wireless device installed in this device broadcasts radio-wave electromagnetic energy the
same as other radio products. However, the broadcast energy has been suppressed to levels that
are much lower than mobile telephones or other radio devices.
Toshiba assures that the wireless LAN component built into this device can be used safely in
accordance with the guidelines of the radio frequency safety standards and recommendations.
These safety standards and recommendations form an academic consensus compiled from the
results of deliberations of committees of specialists in ongoing investigations and studies of a wide
range of research reports.
However, depending on the surrounding conditions and environment, owners of buildings or those
responsible for an organization may limit the use of wireless LANs. The following are noted as examples.
●
When using equipment that uses a wireless LAN in an airplane.
●
When it is determined that there is a harmful effect or it is recognized that there is radio frequency interference with some services or other types of equipment.
If you are unsure of the policy regarding the use of wireless devices in individual organizations or
locations (such as airports), conrm, with the administrator of the facility's environment or organization, that the product can be used before turning on the wireless transmission function.
Information regarding regulations
●
Be sure to follow the instructions from the manufacturer noted in the instructions provided with the
product when using or installing the wireless LAN component installed in the product. The product
