5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.3
This device is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in 
the 5.15 GHz to 5.25 GHz frequency range. Industry Canada 
requires this product to be used indoors for frequency range 
5.15 GHz to 5.25 GHz to reduce the potential for harmful 
interference to co-channel Mobile Satellite systems.
Please note that high-power radars are allocated as primary 
users of the 5.25 GHz to 5.35 GHz and 5.65 GHz to 5.85 
GHz bands. These radar stations can cause interference with 
and/or damage this device.
Les dispositifs fonctionnant dans la bande 5150-5250 MHz sont 
réservés uniquement pour une utilisation à l’intérieur afin de réduire 
les risques de brouillage préjudiciable aux systèmes de satellites 
mobiles utilisant les mêmes canaux.
Veuillez noter que les utilisateurs de radars de haute puissance sont 
désignés utilisateurs principaux (c.-à-d., qu’ils ont la priorité) pour les 
bandes 5250-5350 MHz et 5650-5850 MHz et que ces radars 
pourraient causer du brouillage et/ou des dommages aux dispositifs 
LAN-EL.
The above caution applies to products that operate with an 802.11a radio device.

The European Union WEEE (Waste from 
Electrical and Electronic Equipment) 
Directive Information
The European Union WEEE (Waste from Electrical and Electronic 
Equipment) Directive is intended to protect the quality of the 
environment and human health through the responsible use of 
natural resources and the adoption of waste management strategies 
that focus on recycling and reuse. This Directive requires producers 
of electrical and electronic products put on the market in European 
Union (EU) member countries after August 2005 to mark such 
products with a crossed-out wheeled bin with a black bar symbol. If 
the product’s battery or accumulator contains more than the 
specified values of lead (Pb), mercury (Hg), and/or cadmium (Cd) 
defined in the Battery Directive (2006/66/EC), then the chemical 
symbols for lead (Pb), mercury (Hg) and/or cadmium (Cd) will appear 
below the crossed out wheeled bin symbol on the battery.
In the European Union, these symbols indicate that when the last end 
user wishes to discard this product, it must be sent to appropriate 
facilities for recovery and recycling. This Directive applies to EU 
member countries only and does not apply to end users in other 
countries such as the United States.
Although the initial emphasis is in Europe, Toshiba is already working 
with design engineers, suppliers, and other partners to determine 
appropriate worldwide product life cycle planning and end-of-life 
strategies for our products. Please contact your local government for 
applicable laws and regulations governing the disposal of this 
product. For information on how to trade-in or recycle your product,

Frequencies in European Community 
Countries
O:  allowed  x:  forbidden
❖To remain in conformance with European spectrum usage laws 
for Wireless LAN operation, the above 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz 
channel limitations apply. The user should use the wireless 
LAN utility to check the current channel of operation. If 
operation is occurring outside of the allowable frequencies as 
listed above, the user must cease operating the Wireless LAN 
at that location and consult the local technical support staff 
responsible for the wireless network.
❖The 5 GHz Turbo mode feature is not allowed for operation in 
any European Community country.
❖This device must not be operated in ad-hoc mode using 
channels in the 5 GHz bands in the European Community.

❖This device must be used with Access Points that have 
employed and activated a radar detection feature required for 
European Community operation in the 5 GHz bands. This 
device will operate under the control of the Access Point in 
order to avoid operating on a channel occupied by any radar 
system in the area. The presence of nearby radar operation 
may result in temporary interruption of operation of this device. 
The Access Point’s radar detection feature will automatically 
restart operation on a channel free of radar. You may consult 
with the local technical support staff responsible for the 
wireless network to ensure the Access Point device(s) are 
properly configured for European Community operation.
