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

Caution
This device is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to 
5.85 GHz frequency range.
Wireless LAN and your Health
Wireless LAN products, like other radio devices, emit radio frequency 
electromagnetic energy. The level of energy emitted by Wireless LAN 
devices however is far much less than the electromagnetic energy emitted 
by wireless devices like for example mobile phones.
Because Wireless LAN products operate within the guidelines found in 
radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, TOSHIBA 
believes Wireless LAN 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 Wireless LAN may be 
restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of 
the organization. These situations may for example include:
❖Using the Wireless LAN equipment on board of 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 Wireless LAN device prior to 
turning on the equipment.
