Supplementary
Information:

This product is carrying the CE-Mark in accordance with the related
European Directives. The party responsible for CE-Marking is TOSHIBA
Europe GmbH, Hammfelddamm 8, 41460 Neuss, Germany.

*The product complies with the
requirements of the Low Voltage
Directive 73/23/EEC, the EMC Directive
89/336/EEC and/or the R&TTE
Directive 1999/5/EC.

The European Union WEEE (Waste from Electrical and
Electronic Equipment) Directive Information

The European Union WEEE (Waste from Electrical and Electronic Equipment)
Directive is intended to protect the quality of the environment and human health
through the responsible use of natural resources and the adoption of waste
management strategies that focus on recycling and reuse. This Directive requires
producers of electrical and electronic products put on the market in European
Union (EU) member countries after August 2005 to mark such products with a
crossed-out wheeled bin with a black bar symbol. If the product’s battery or
accumulator contains more than the specified values of lead (Pb), mercury (Hg),
and/or cadmium (Cd) defined in the Battery Directive (2006/66/EC), then the
chemical symbols for lead (Pb), mercury (Hg) and/or cadmium (Cd) will appear
below the crossed out wheeled bin symbol on the battery.

Pb, Hg, Cd

In the European Union, these symbols indicate that when the last end user wishes
to discard this product, it must be sent to appropriate facilities for recovery and
recycling. This Directive applies to EU member countries only and does not
apply to end users in other countries such as the United States.

Although the initial emphasis is in Europe, Toshiba is already working with
design engineers, suppliers, and other partners to determine appropriate
worldwide product life cycle planning and end-of-life strategies for our products.
Please contact your local government for applicable laws and regulations
governing the disposal of this product. For information on how to trade-in or
recycle your product, visit www.reuse.toshiba.com.

Modem Warning Notice

Conformity Statement

The equipment has been approved to [Commission Decision “CTR21”] for
pan-European single terminal connection to the Public Switched Telephone
Network (PSTN).

However, due to differences between the individual PSTNs provided in
different countries/regions the approval does not, of itself, give an
unconditional assurance of successful operation on every PSTN network
termination point.

In the event of problems, you should contact your equipment supplier in the
first instance.

Wireless WAN and Your Health

Wireless WAN products, like other radio devices, emit radio frequency
electromagnetic energy. The level of energy emitted by Wireless WAN
devices however is far much less than the electromagnetic energy emitted
by wireless devices like for example mobile phones.

Because Wireless WAN products operate within the guidelines found in
radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, TOSHIBA
believes Wireless WAN 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 WAN may be
restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of
the organization. These situations may for example include:

❖ Using the Wireless WAN 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 WAN device prior
to turning on the equipment.

TOSHIBA is not responsible for any radio or television interference caused
by unauthorized modification of the devices included with this equipment,
or the substitution or attachment of connecting cables and equipment other
than specified by TOSHIBA.

The correction of interference caused by such unauthorized modification,
substitution or attachment will be the responsibility of the user.

The total radiated energy from all the antennas connected to the Wireless
WAN adapter, the Bluetooth® module, and the Wireless LAN cards
conforms to the FCC limit of the SAR (radio frequency exposure)
requirement regarding 47 CFR Part 2 section 1093.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation
The radiated output power of the TOSHIBA Wireless WAN Card is far below

the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the TOSHIBA
Wireless WAN 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. Antenna(s) used in 5.15 GHz to 5.25 GHz
frequency band must be integral antenna which provide no access to the
end user.

Regulatory Information

The TOSHIBA Wireless WAN Card must be installed and used in strict
accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions as described in the user
documentation that comes with the product. This device complies with the
following radio frequency and safety standards.

CE Compliance

CE Compliance does not apply to systems with Wireless WAN (3G)
modules installed.

Canada – Industry Canada (IC)

Wireless WAN complies with RSS-129, RSS-133 Industry Canada.

The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located
or pointed such that it does not emit RF field in excess of Health Canada
limits for the general population; consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from
Health Canada’s Web site www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb. The RF device shall not be
co-located with any other transmitter that has not been tested with this
device.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may
not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference,
including interference that may cause undesired operation of this device.

L’utilisation de ce dispositif est autorisée seulement aux conditions
suivantes: (1) il ne doit pas produire de brouillage et (2) l’utilisateur du
dispositif doit étre prêt à accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique reçu,
même si ce brouillage est susceptible de compromettre le fonctionnement
du dispositif.

The term “IC” before the equipment certification number only signifies that
the Industry Canada technical specifications were met.

To prevent radio interference to the licensed service, this device is intended
to be operated indoors and away from windows to provide maximum

shielding. Equipment (or its transmit antenna) that is installed outdoors is
subject to licensing.

Pour empecher que cet appareil cause du brouillage au service faisant
l'objet d'une licence, il doit etre utilize a l'interieur et devrait etre place loin
des fenetres afin de Fournier un ecram de blindage maximal. Si le matriel
(ou son antenne d'emission) est installe a l'exterieur, il doit faire l'objet
d'une licence.

This device is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 GHz
to 5.25 GHz frequency range. Industry Canada requires this product to be
used indoors for frequency range 5.15 GHz to 5.25 GHz to reduce the
potential for harmful interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite systems.

High power radars are allocated as primary users of the 5.25 GHz to 5.35
GHz and 5.65 GHz to 5.85 GHz bands. These radar stations can cause
interference with and/or damage this device.

❖ 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

❖ 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
