Caution
Bluetooth™ and Wireless LAN devices operate within the same radio frequency
range and may interfere with one another. If you use Bluetooth™ and
WirelessLAN 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 WirelessLAN.
Please contact Toshiba PC product support on web site http://www.toshiba-
europe.com/computers/tnt/bluetooth.htm in Europe or
http://www.pcsupport.global.toshiba.com in the United States for more
information.
Caution
This device is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to 5.85 GHz
frequency range.
Wireless LAN and your Health
Wireless LAN products, like other radio devices, emit radio frequency
electromagnetic energy. The level of energy emitted by Wireless LAN devices
however is far much less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by 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 Wireless
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 extensive
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 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.
