Wireless LAN and your Health

Wireless LAN products, like other radio de vices, emit radio frequency
electromagnetic energy . The le vel of ener gy emitted by W ireless LAN de vices
however is far much less than the electromagnetic ener gy emitted b y 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 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 extensiv e
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 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.

has not confirmed compatibility of its Bluetooth products with all PCs and/or
equipment using Bluetooth wireless technology other than TOSHIBA
portable computers.

Always use Bluetooth cards from TOSHIBA in order to enable wireless
networks over two or more (up to a total of seven) TOSHIBA portable
computers using these cards. Please contact TOSHIBA PC product support
on Web site http://www.toshiba-europe.com/computers/tnt/bluetooth.htm in
Europe or pcsupport.toshiba.com in the United States for more information.

When you use Bluetooth cards from TOSHIBA close to 2.4 GHz Wireless
LAN devices, Bluetooth transmissions might slow down or cause errors. If
you detect certain interference while you use Bluetooth cards from TOSHIBA,
always change the frequency, move your PC to the area outside of the
interference range of 2.4 GHz Wireless LAN devices (40 meters/43.74 yards
or more) or stop transmitting from your PC. Please contact TOSHIBA PC
product support on Web site http://www.toshiba-europe.com/computers/tnt/
bluetooth.htm in Europe or pcsupport.toshiba.com in the United States for
more information.

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 Toshiba PC product support on
Web site http://www.toshiba-europe.com/computers/tnt/bluetooth.htm in
Europe or pcsupport.toshiba.com in the United States for more information.

Bluetooth® wireless technology and your Health

The products with Bluetooth wireless technology , like other radio devices, emit
radio frequency electromagnetic energy . The le vel of ener gy emitted by devices
with Bluetooth wireless technology however is far much less than the
electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices like for e xample mobile
phones.

Because products with Bluetooth wireless technology operate within the
guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations,
TOSHIBA belie ves Bluetooth wireless technology 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 Bluetooth wireless technology
may be restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible representatives
of the organization. These situations may for example include:

❖ Using the equipment with Bluetooth wireless technology 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 device with Bluetooth wireless technology prior to
turning on the equipment.
