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://

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.
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.
