Avoidance of Exposure to Electromagnetic Field

(EMF) Emissions

Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) Emissions

(50Hz (Europe) or 60Hz (US))

NOTE:

a. Since Toshiba desktop PCs are 50Hz or 60Hz alternating current (AC)

devices, the power cord and power supply of this computer may emit

low levels of EMF energy in the ELF range.

The intensity level of those ELF emissions, however, even in close

proximity to the power supply and its AC power cord, is relatively low

in comparison to those of other common household appliances. In

addition, that intensity level rapidly falls off further with distance.

The minute levels of EMF energy in the ELF range that are emitted by

the power supply and its AC power cord pose no known health

hazards to human beings.

b. Toshiba CRT monitors use a cathode ray tube and require the

generation of a vertical sweep-frequency in the 50 to 110 Hz (ELF)

range. Consequently, the CRT monitor unit is an emitter of stray EMF

energy in the ELF range, as are all CRT monitors.

The intensity level of ELF energy are relatively low, however, in

comparison to those of other common household appliances, and

rapidly fall off further with distance.

The intensity levels of stray EMF energy in the ELF range that are

emitted by this CRT monitor pose no known health hazards to human

beings.

Very Low Frequency (VLF) Emissions

(30,000Hz to 66,000Hz)

NOTE: Toshiba CRT monitors use a cathode ray tube, and require the

generation of a horizontal sweep-frequency in the 30,000 to 66,000Hz (VLF)

range. Consequently, the CRT monitor unit is an emitter of stray EMF energy

in the VLF range, as are all CRT monitors.

The allowable levels of stray VLF energy that may be emitted by Toshiba

desktop PCs are severely limited in their intensity by existing FCC

Regulations, (47 CFR Section 15.109(a)), to prevent interference with the

operation of other nearby electronic devices.

Toshiba CRT monitors have therefore been equipped with internal

shielding, to significantly reduce the stray emission of EMF energy in the

VLF range.

The minute levels of stray EMF energy in the VLF range that are in fact

being emitted by this CRT monitor unit fall off rapidly with distance and

pose no known health hazards to human beings.
