Radio Characteristics
Radio Characteristics of Wireless LAN Cards may vary according to:
country/region where the product was purchased
Type of product
Wireless communication is often subject to local radio regulations. Although Wireless LAN Wireless networking
products have been designed for operation in the license-free 2.4GHz band, local radio regulations may impose
a number of limitations to the use of wireless communication equipment.

NOTE: Refer to the flyer "Information to the User” for regulatory information that may apply in your
country/region.
R-F Frequency -Band2.4GHz (2400-2483.5 MHz) (Revision B, G)
Modulation Technique -DSSS-CCK, DSSS-DQPSK, DSSS-DBPSK (Revision B)
-OFDM-BPSK, OFDM-QPSK, OFDM-16QAM, OFDM-64QAM
(Revision G,)
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
that apply in your country/region.

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.

Information sheet
Wireless Interoperability
The Atheros AR5001X+ Wireless Network Adapter products are designed to be interoperable with any wireless
LAN product that is based on Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) /Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiplexing(OFDM) radio technology, and is compliant to:
■ The IEEE 802.11 Standard on Wireless LANs(Revision B/G), as defined and approved by the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
■ The Wireless Fidelity(Wi-Fi) certification as defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance. The “Wi-Fi CERTIFIED” logo is
a certification mark of the Wi-Fi Alliance.
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.
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.
Regulatory Information
The Atheros AR5001X+ Wireless Network Adapter must be installed and used in strict accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions as described in the user documentation that comes with the product. This device
complies with the following radio frequency and safety standards.

Canada – Industry Canada (IC)
This device complies with RSS 210 of Industry Canada.
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 this device.”
L ‘ utilisation de ce dispositif est autorisée seulement aux conditions suivantes : (1) il ne doit pas produire de
brouillage et (2) l’ utilisateur du dispositif doit étre prêt à accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique reçu, même si
ce brouillage est susceptible de compromettre le fonctionnement du dispositif.
The term "IC" before the equipment certification number only signifies that the Industry Canada technical
specifications were met.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the
equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for successful communication.
To prevent radio interference to the licensed service, this device is intended to be operated indoors and away
from windows to provide maximum shielding. Equipment (or its transmit antenna) that is installed outdoors is
subject to licensing.
Pour empecher que cet appareil cause du brouillage au service faisant l'objet d'une licence, il doit etre utilize a
l'interieur et devrait etre place loin des fenetres afin de Fournier un ecram de blindage maximal. Si le matriel
