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.
