USA Federal Communications Commission StatementFCC Compliance StatementThis device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to  the following two conditions: (1)  This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement Caution: To maintain compliance with the FCC’s RF exposure guidelines, place the Audio Base Speaker System at least 20cm from nearby persons.InterferenceThis equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:•  Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.•  Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.•  Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.•  Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.Bluetooth® Wireless Technology and Your HealthThe  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 reect the consensus of  the  scientic  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  in  any  other environment where the risk of interference to other devices or services is perceived or identied as harmful.If  you  are  uncertain  of  the  policy  that  applies  on  the  use  of wireless devices in a specic 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.The slots and openings are provided to protect the unit from overheating and to help maintain reliable operation. 19. If  the  apparatus  should  emit  smoke  or  an  unusual  odor, immediately disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet. Wait until the smoke or smell stops, then ask your dealer for a check and repair. Neglecting to do so may cause re. 20. During thunderstorms, do not touch the connecting cables or the apparatus. 21. Warning: To prevent spread of re, keep candles or other open ames away from this product at all times.This  device  complies  with  Industry  Canada  Licence-exempt RSS-210. Operation is subject to the following  two  conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must  accept  any  interference,  including  interference  that  may cause undesired operation of the device.CAN ICES-3 (B) / NMB-3 (B)ABX3250KN_IB_28-02-2014_L.indd   4 2014/2/28   17:08:47

The position of the NFC antenna differs on devices. Check the NFC antenna location before connecting. If your device is covered with a thick case, the connection may not succeed.  For details, please refer to the user’s manual of your NFC device.Bluetooth® connection by NFCNFC (Near Field Communication) is a technology enabling short-range wireless communication between various devices, such as mobile phones and IC tags.By just touching the Audio Base where the “N-mark” is located with an NFC compatible device, the Audio Base is turned on automatically and then paired and connected with the various devices, such as mobile phones. To locate the “N-mark” on the unit, please see “NFC (N-Mark)” on page 7.1. Start and turn on the NFC function on the device. Keep touching the device on the “N-Mark” of the Audio Base until the device vibrates or a message pops up; the Bluetooth® will be paired automatically.2. Touch  the  device to the Audio Base again to disconnect. In order to avoid unintentional disconnection, it is advised that you place your device away from the “N-mark” once connected.ABX3250KN_IB_28-02-2014_L.indd   16 2014/2/28   17:08:49
