FCC Notice “Declaration of Conformity Information”

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.

This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, it may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However , there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

❖ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. ❖ Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. ❖ Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which

the receiver is connected.

❖ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

NOTE: Only peripherals complying with the FCC Class B limits may be

attached to this computer. Operation with non-compliant peripherals or peripherals not recommended by Toshiba is likely to result in interference to radio and TV reception. Shielded cables must be used between the external devices and the computer’s serial port, parallel port, monitor port, USB port, PS/2™ port and microphone jack. Changes or modifications made to this equipment not expressly approved by Toshiba or parties authorized by Toshiba could void the user equipment.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

’s authority to operate the

❖ This device may not cause harmful interference. ❖ This device must accept an y interference recei v ed, including interference

that may cause undesired operation. Contact: T oshiba Americ a Information Systems, Inc. 9740 Irvine Blvd. Irvine, CA 92618-1697 (949) 583-3000

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 follo wing 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 hav e any questions about your telephone line, such as ho w

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 allow 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 ev er needed on your modem, they should be performed by T oshiba Corporation or an authorized representati ve of Toshiba Corporation.

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 T elephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unla wful to use a computer or other electronic device to send any message via a telephone f ax 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.

for this equipment is jack type(s): USOC RJ11C.

Wireless Interoperability

The T oshiba W ireless 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 B), as def ined and

approved by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.

❖ The Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi™) certification as defined by the WECA

Wireless Ether net Compatibility Alli ance.

Wireless LAN and your Health

Wireless LAN products, like other radio de vices, emit radio frequency electromagnetic energy. The le vel of energy emitted by Wireless LAN devices howev er is far much le ss than the electromagne tic energy e mitted by wire less devices like for example mobile phones. Because W ireless LAN products operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, T oshiba belie ves 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 extensi ve 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 identif ied 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.

Regulatory Information
