(Revision A)
The range of the wireless signal is related to the Transmit Rate of the wireless communication.
Communications at lower Transmit range may 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 may either absorb or reflect
the radio signal.
Supported Frequency Sub-bands
Subject to the radio regulations that apply in your country, your Wireless LAN Card may support a different set
of 2.4GHz channels.
Consult your Authorized Wireless LAN or TOSHIBA Sales office for information about the radio regulations

When installing Wireless LAN Cards, the channel configuration is managed as follows:
„ For wireless clients that operate in a Wireless LAN Infrastructure, the Wireless LAN Card will
automatically start operation at the channel identified by the Wireless LAN Access Point, when roaming
between different access points the station can dynamically switch to another channel if required.
„ For Wireless LAN Cards installed in Wireless clients that operating in a peer-to-peer mode, the card will
use the default channel 10.
„ In a Wireless LAN Access Point, the Wireless LAN card will use the factory-set default channel (printed in
bold), unless the LAN Administrator selected a different channel when configuring the Wireless LAN
Access Point device.

CAUTION
Bluetooth™ and WirelessLAN devices operate within the same radio frequency range and may interfere with
one another. If you use Bluetooth™ and WirelessLAN devices simultaneously, you may occasionally
experience a less than optimal network performance or even lose your network connection.
If you should experience any such problem, immediately turn off either one of your Bluetooth™ or
WirelessLAN.
Please contact Toshiba PC product support on web site
http://www.toshiba-europe.com/computers/tnt/bluetooth.htm in Europe or
http://www.pc.support.global.toshiba.com in the United States for more information.
CAUTION
This device is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to 5.35 GHz frequency range.
Wireless LAN and your Health
Wireless LAN products, like other radio devices, emit radio frequency electromagnetic energy. The level of
energy emitted by Wireless LAN devices however is far much less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by
wireless devices like for example mobile phones.
Because Wireless LAN products operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and
recommendations, TOSHIBA believes Wireless LAN is 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 LAN may be restricted by the proprietor of the building
or responsible representatives of the organization. These situations may for example include:
■ Using the Wireless LAN 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 (e.g. airports), you are encouraged to ask for authorization to use the Wireless LAN device prior to
turning on the equipment.
