❖To remain in conformance with European spectrum usage laws for Wireless
LAN operation, the above 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz channel limitations apply.
The user should use the wireless LAN utility to check the current channel of
operation. If operation is occurring outside of the allowable frequencies as
listed above, the user must cease operating the Wireless LAN at that
location and consult the local technical support staff responsible for the
wireless network.
❖The 5 GHz Turbo mode feature is not allowed for operation in any
European Community country.
❖This device must not be operated in ad-hoc mode using channels in the
5 GHz bands in the European Community. Ad-hoc mode provides a direct
communication between two client devices without a Wireless LAN Access
Point.

❖This device must be used with Access Points that have employed and
activated a radar detection feature required for European Community
operation in the 5 GHz bands. This device will operate under the control of
the Access Point in order to avoid operating on a channel occupied by any
radar system in the area. The presence of nearby radar operation may result
in temporary interruption of operation of this device. The Access Point’s
radar detection feature will automatically restart operation on a channel free
of radar. You may consult with the local technical support staff responsible
for the wireless network to ensure the Access Point device(s) are properly
configured for European Community operation.

Bluetooth® Wireless Technology
Interoperability
Bluetooth® Cards from TOSHIBA are designed to be interoperable with
any product with Bluetooth wireless technology that is based on Frequency
Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) radio technology, and is compliant to:
❖Bluetooth Specification as defined and approved by The Bluetooth
Special Interest Group.
❖Logo certification with Bluetooth wireless technology as defined by
The Bluetooth Special Interest Group.
Bluetooth wireless technology is a new innovative technology, and TOSHIBA has
not confirmed compatibility of its Bluetooth products with all computers 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 computer 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 computer 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 computer. Please contact TOSHIBA computer 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 computer 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 level of energy emitted
by devices with Bluetooth wireless technology however is far much less
than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices like for
example mobile phones.
Because products with Bluetooth wireless technology operate within the
guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations,
TOSHIBA believes 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 extensive
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.
13
Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation
The radiated output power of the Bluetooth Card from TOSHIBA is far below
the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the Bluetooth Card
from TOSHIBA shall be used in such a manner that the potential for human
contact during normal operation is minimized.
In order to comply with FCC radio-frequency radiation exposure guidelines
for an uncontrolled environment, the Bluetooth Card from TOSHIBA has to
be operated while maintaining a minimum body to antenna distance of
20 cm.
Refer to the Regulatory Statements as identified in the documentation that
comes with those products for additional information.
The Bluetooth Card from TOSHIBA is far below the FCC radio frequency
exposure limits.
Nevertheless, it is advised to use the Bluetooth Card from TOSHIBA in such a
manner that human contact during normal operation is minimized.
