    Wireless Devices and your health
    Wireless products, like other radio devices, emit radio frequencyelectromagnetic energy. The level of energy emitted by Wireless products
    however is far much less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by
    wireless devices like for example mobile phones.
    Because Wireless products operate within the guidelines found in radio
    frequency safety standards and recommendations, TOSHIBA believes that
    Wireless products are 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 products might be
    restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of
    the organization. These situations might for example include:
    Using the Wireless products 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 (for example, airports), you are encouraged to ask for authorization to use the Wireless device prior to
    turning on the equipment.
    Wireless LAN Technology The wireless communication function of the computer supports some
    wireless communication devices.
    User's Manual 7-4 
    						
    							Only some models are equipped with both Wireless LAN and Bluetoothfunctions.Do not use the Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) or Bluetooth functionalities near a
    microwave oven or in areas subject to radio interference or magnetic fields. Interference from a microwave oven or other source can disruptWi-Fi or Bluetooth operation.
    Turn off all wireless functionalities when near a person who mighthave a cardiac pacemaker implant or other medical electric device.Radio waves might affect pacemaker or medical device operation,
    possibly resulting in serious injury. Follow the instruction for your medical device when using any wireless functionality.
    Always turn off wireless functionality if the computer is near automaticcontrol equipment or appliances such as automatic doors or firedetectors. Radio waves can cause malfunction of such equipment,
    possibly resulting in serious injury.
    It might not be possible to make a network connection to a specified network name using the ad hoc network function. If this occurs, thenew network (*) has to be configured for all computers connected to
    the same network in order to re-enable network connections.
    * Make sure to use new network name.
    Security
    TOSHIBA strongly recommends that you enable encryption
    functionality, otherwise your computer is open to illegal access by an outsider using a wireless connection. If this occurs, the outsider might
    illegally access your system, eavesdrop, or cause the loss or destruction of stored data.
    TOSHIBA is not liable for the loss of data due to eavesdropping or
    illegal access through the wireless LAN and the damage thereof.

    User's Manual 7-5 
    						
    							Wireless communication is often subject to local radio regulations.
    Although Wireless LAN wireless networking products have been designed
    for operation in the license-free 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band, local radio regulations might impose a number of limitations to the use of wirelesscommunication equipment.Radio FrequencyBand 5 GHz (5150-5850 MHz) (Revision a
    and n)
    Band 2.4 GHz (2400-2483.5 MHz) (Revision
    b/g and n)
    The range of the wireless signal is related to the transmit rate of the
    wireless communication. Communications at lower transmit range might travel larger distances.
    The range of your wireless devices can be affected when the
    antennas are placed near metal surfaces and solid high-density materials.
    Range is also impacted due to "obstacles" in the signal path of the
    radio that might either absorb or reflect the radio signal.
    Radio Frequency Interference Requirements
    This device is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to
    5.25GHz frequency range.
    High-power radars are allocated as primary users (i.e. priority users) of the
    bands 5.25 to 5.35GHz and 5.65 to 5.85GHz and that these radars could cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.
    Bluetooth wireless technology Some computers in this series have Bluetooth wireless communication
    function which eliminates the need for cables between electronic devices
    such as computers, printers, and mobile phones. When it is enabled,
    Bluetooth provides the wireless personal area network environment which
    is safe and trustworthy, that is quick and easy.
    You cannot use the built-in Bluetooth functions of the computer and an external Bluetooth adaptor simultaneously. For reference, Bluetooth wireless technology has the following features:
    Security
    Two advanced security mechanisms ensure a high level of security:
    Authentication prevents access to critical data and makes it impossible
    to falsify the origin of a message.
    Encryption prevents eavesdropping and maintains link privacy.
