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 far much less
than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices like for
example 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 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 Bluetooth wireless
technology may be restricted by the proprietor of the building or
responsible representatives of the organization. These situations may for
example include:
❖
Using the equipment with Bluetooth wireless technology 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

When you use Bluetooth™ cards from TOSHIBA close to 2.4 GHz
Wireless LAN devices, Bluetooth transmissions might slow down or
cause errors. If you detect certain interference while you use Blue-
tooth™ cards from TOSHIBA, always change the frequency, move
your PC to the area outside of the interference range of 2.4 GHz
Wireless LAN devices (40 meters/43.74 yards or more) or stop
transmitting from your PC. Please contact TOSHIBA PC product
support on Web site http://www.toshiba-europe.com/computers/tnt/
bluetooth.htm in Europe or http://www.pcsupport.glo-
bal.toshiba.com in the United States for more information.
Bluetooth™ and Wireless LAN devices operate within the same radio
frequency range and may interfere with one another. If you use
Bluetooth™ and Wireless LAN 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
Wireless LAN. Please contact Toshiba PC product support on web
site http://www.toshiba-europe.com/computers/tnt/bluetooth.htm in
Europe or http://www.pcsupport.global.toshiba.com in the United
States for more information.
