Bluetooth wireless technology Interoperability

Bluetooth™ Cards from TOSHIBA are designed to be interoperable with
any product with Bluetooth wireless technology that is based on Frequency
Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) radio technology, and is compliant to:

❖

Bluetooth Specification Ver.1.1, as defined and approved by The
Bluetooth Special Interest Group.

❖

Logo certification with Bluetooth wireless technology as defined by
The Bluetooth Special interest Group.

Bluetooth wireless technology is a new innovative technology, and TOSHIBA
has not confirmed compatibility of its Bluetooth™ products with all PCs and/
or equipment using Bluetooth wireless technology other than TOSHIBA
portable computers.

Always use Bluetooth™ cards from TOSHIBA in order to enable wireless net-
works over two or more (up to a total of seven) TOSHIBA portable computers
using these cards. 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.
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 Bluetooth™ 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.global.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.
