Wireless LAN
The wireless LAN is compatible with other LAN systems that comply with 
the IEEE802.11a, 11b, 11g and Draft 11n wireless LAN standards.
It supports the following:
■Automatic Transmit Rate Select mechanism in the transmit range of 54, 
48, 36, 24, 18, 9, 6 Mbps for 802.11a/b/g and 802.11b/g wireless LAN 
module.
■Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) data encryption, based on 256bit 
encryption algorithm.
■Frequency Channel Selection (5GHz and 2.4 GHz)
■Roaming over multiple channels
■Card Power Management
■Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) data encryption
Wake-up on LAN does not function on a Wireless LAN.
11a, 11b, 11g and 11n wireless are based on IEEE 802.11a, 802.11b, 
802.11g and 802.11n respectively. The IEEE 802.11n specification has not 
been finalized and is currently in draft release. The TOSHIBA 11a/b/g/n 
Wireless LAN Adapters are based on the Draft Release, Version 1.0, of the 
IEEE 802.11n specification. An Adapter with 11a/b, 11a/b/g or 11a/b/g/n 
can communicate on any of its supported formats; the actual connection 
will be based on the access point to which it connects.
Connection compatibility with the wireless equipment in Draft 11n mode is 
not guaranteed.
The Draft 11n function cannot be used with WEP/TKIP. Draft 11n mode can 
be used only with WPA-PSK (AES) mode or no security mode.

Security
1. TOSHIBA strongly recommends that you enable the WPA encryption 
function otherwise your computer could be left open to illicit access via 
the wireless LAN connection which may result in an intrusion that can 
lead to the theft or loss of stored data among other things. In addition, 
the owner of an Internet connection is responsible for all browsing, 
downloading, and uploading activities on that connection. Therefore, an 
unsecured wireless network connected directly to the Internet is an open 
invitation for outsiders to abuse your ISP account and privileges.
2. TOSHIBA is not liable for the eavesdropping on your data due to the use 
of the wireless LAN connection and any damage that may occur thereof.
Bluetooth wireless technology
Bluetooth™ wireless technology eliminates the need for cables between 
electronic devices such as desktop computers, printers and mobile phones.
Bluetooth wireless technology has the following features:
Worldwide operation
The Bluetooth radio transmitter and receiver operate in the 2.4 GHz band, 
which is license-free and compatible with radio systems in most countries 
in the world.
Radio links
You can easily establish links between two or more devices. The link is 
maintained even if the devices are not within line of sight.
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.

*Writing CDs on a CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive
You can use the CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive to write data to CD-R/RW discs. 
The following applications for writing are preinstalled: 
TOSHIBA Disc Creator/Direct Disc Writer.
Important message
Before you write or rewrite to CD-R/RW media, read and follow all setup 
and operating instructions in this section. If you fail to do so, the CD-RW/
DVD-ROM drive may not function properly, and you may fail to write or 
rewrite, lose data or incur other damage.
Disclaimer
TOSHIBA does not bear responsibility for the following:
■Damage to any CD-R/-RW disc that may be caused by writing or 
rewriting with this product.
■Any change or loss of the recorded contents of CD-R/-RW media that 
may be caused by writing or rewriting with this product, or for any 
business profit loss or business interruption that may be caused by the 
change or loss of the recorded contents.
■Damage that may be caused by using third party equipment or software.
Given the technological limitations of current optical disc writing drives, you 
may experience unexpected writing or rewriting errors due to disc quality 
or problems with hardware devices. Also, it is a good idea to make two or 
more copies of important data, in case of undesired change or loss of the 
recorded contents.
Before writing or rewriting
Please observe the following points when you write or rewrite the data.
■We recommend the following manufacturers of CD-R and CD-RW 
media. Media quality can affect write or rewrite success rates.
CD-R discs can be written only once. CD-RW discs can be rewritten many 
times.

TOSHIBA has confirmed the operation of CD-R and CD-RW media of the 
manufacturers above. Operation of other media cannot be guaranteed.
■CD-RW can generally be rewritten about 1,000 times. However, the 
actual number of rewrites is affected by the quality of the media and the 
way it is used. 
■Be sure to connect the universal AC adapter when you write or rewrite.
■Be sure to close all other software programs except the writing software.
■Do not run software such as a screen saver which can put a heavy load 
on the CPU.
■Operate the computer at full power. Do not use power-saving features.
■Do not write while virus check software is running. Wait for it to finish, 
then disable virus detection programs including any software that 
checks files automatically in the background.
■Do not use hard disk utilities, including those intended to enhance hard 
disk access speeds, as they may cause unstable operation and damage 
data.
■Write from the computers hard disk drive to the CD. Do not try to write 
from shared devices such as a LAN server or any other network device.
■Writing with software other than TOSHIBA Disc Creator has not been 
confirmed. Therefore, operation with other software cannot be 
guaranteed.
When writing or rewriting
Please observe/consider the following when you write or rewrite to a CD-R/
RW disc.
■Do not perform any of the following actions when writing or rewriting:
■Change users in the Windows Vista™ operating system.
■Operate the computer for any other function, including using a 
mouse or TouchPad/Dual Mode Pad or closing/opening the LCD 
panel.
■Start a communication application such as a modem.
■Apply impact or vibration to the computer.
■Install, remove or connect external devices such as USB devices, an 
external display, i.Link devices or optical digital devices.
■Use the audio/video control button to reproduce music or voice.
■Open the drive.
