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 Ver.1.1, as defined and approved by The Bluetooth Special Interest Group.

 Logo certification with Bluetooth wireless technology as defined by The Bluetooth Special interest Group.

CAUTIONS: 1. Bluetooth wireless technology is a new innovative technology, and TOSHIBA has not confirmed compatibility of its

Bluetooth™ products with all PCs 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 PC product support on Web

site

http://www.toshiba-europe.com/computers/tnt/bluetooth.htm in Europe or

http://www.pc.support.global.toshiba.com in the United States for more information.

2. 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 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

http://www.pc.support.global.toshiba.com in the United States for more information.

3. Bluetooth™ and WirelessLAN 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.

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

Caution: Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation The radiated output power of the Bluetooth™ Cards from TOSHIBA is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the Bluetooth™ Cards from TOSHIBA shall be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized. This device has been tested with Wireless LAN ( FCC ID:CJ6PA3171WL) for co-location requirements.
