USA
Federal Communications Commission
Statement
FCC Compliance Statement
This 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.
Interference
This 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.
Important: Any changes or modifi cations not
expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate this equipment.
Bluetooth® Wireless Technology and Your
Health
The 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 refl ect the
consensus of the scientifi 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 identifi ed as
harmful.
If you are uncertain of the policy that applies on the
use of wireless devices in a specifi 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.

To Change Battery
(Sample Illustration) Remote control - changing the battery
1 Open the battery door.
2 Insert one CR2025 (3V) size battery.
Do not drop or expose the remote control to electric shock. Do not use the
remote control in excessively hot or humid places. Do not spill water or
place anything wet on the remote control. Do not open the remote control.
If the remote control will not be used for a long period of time, remove the
battery to avoid damage caused by battery leakage corrosion.
Never throw the battery into a fi re. Doing so may cause the battery to
explode. The remote control supplied with this product contains a button
cell battery that could be ingested by children. Do not leave button cell
batteries within reach of children.
Do not expose the remote sensor to a strong light source such as direct
sunlight or other illumination. This can damage the sensor resulting in the
inability to operate the unit via the remote control.
There is a danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. Replace it
only with the same or equivalent type.
13
If the remote control does not operate correctly, or if the operating range is
reduced, replace the battery with a new one.
If the battery is dead or if you will not be using the remote control for a
long time, remove the battery to prevent battery acid from leaking into the
battery compartment.
Do not expose the battery to excessive heat such as from direct sunlight
or fi re.
When discarding the battery, environmental problems must be considered
and local rules or laws governing the disposal of these battery must be
strictly followed.
Press the remote control buttons at intervals of approximately one second
to ensure correct operation.

Sonic Emotion Absolute 3D is the listening experience. Absolute 3D uses wave fi eld
synthesis and sound fi eld reproduction to eliminate the physical dimensions of a room
and transform it into a virtual sound fi eld.
With wave fi eld synthesis, sonic waves are produced and dispersed throughout the
listening room ensuring that localization of virtual sound sources does not depend on or
change with the listener’s position. As in a natural environment, real sounds are heard
from all around regardless of the device position.

device.
The Mini 3D Sound Bar can only be paired with one Bluetooth-enabled
device at a time. If the Mini 3D Sound Bar is already paired with a
Bluetooth-enabled device, you will not be able to pair it with another
Bluetooth-enabled device, even though it may display the name “Toshiba
Mini 3D Sound Bar”.
Music playing with Bluetooth if cut off by remote control will be resumed
if the bluetooth is turned on with remote control again. However, if it is
turned off and on again manually by hand physically on the Bluetooth
button, the music will not be resumed.
NOTE
Playback via Bluetooth®-enabled devices
Pair the Mini 3D Sound Bar with another Bluetooth® device
The device is away the mini sound bar around 8~10M (open area, no object block), then
the connection will not be good, and the sound may be intermittent, after disconnected,
user needs to repeat the procedure above items 2~3 for Bluetooth re-connection.
