access your system, eavesdrop, or cause the loss or destruction of
stored data.
■
TOSHIBA is not liable for the loss of data due to eavesdropping or

Bluetooth wireless technology
Bluetooth wireless technology eliminates the need for cables, such as
desktop computers, between your PC and other electronic devices,
example of printers and mobile phones.
You cannot use the computer's built-in Bluetooth functions and an external
Bluetooth adaptor simultaneously. For reference, Bluetooth wireless
technology has the following features:

Worldwide operation

The Bluetooth radio transmitter and receiver operate in the 2.4 GHz band,
which is license-free and compatible with radio systems in most countries
in the world.

Radio links

You can easily establish links between two or more devices, with these
links being maintained even if the devices are not within a line-of-sight of
each other.
Security
Two advanced security mechanisms ensure a high level of security:
■
Authentication prevents access to critical data and makes it impossible
to falsify the origin of a message.
■
Encryption prevents eavesdropping and maintains link privacy.
