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.
Only Peripherals complying with the FCC Class B limits may be
attached to this equipment. Operation with noncompliant
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 ports. Changes or modifications made to this
equipment not expressly approved by Toshiba or parties
authorized by Toshiba could void the user's authority to operate
the equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions:
❖This device may not cause harmful interference.
❖This device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.

Bluetooth®Wireless Technology
Interoperability
This section is only applicable if your system has a
Bluetooth

module.
Bluetooth
®
modules 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 modules enable wireless networks over two or
more (up to a total of seven) TOSHIBA portable devices.
Please contact TOSHIBA computer product support on Web
site http://www.toshiba-europe.com/computers/tnt/
bluetooth.htm in Europe or support.toshiba.com in the
United States for more information.
When you use a
Bluetooth module close to 2.4 GHz Wireless
LAN devices,
Bluetooth transmissions might slow down or
cause errors. If you detect certain interference while you use
a Bluetooth device, always change the frequency, move your
device 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 device. Please contact
TOSHIBA computer product support on Web site http://
www.toshiba-europe.com/computers/tnt/bluetooth.htm in
Europe or support.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

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 much less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by
wireless devices such as 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.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation
The radiated output power of the Bluetooth module is far
below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits.
Nevertheless, the Bluetooth module shall be used in such a
manner that the potential for human contact during normal
operation is minimized.

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.
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,
