Bluetooth wireless technology Interoperability

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

Always use Bluetooth® Cards from TOSHIBA in order to enable wireless networks 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.pc.support.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 computer 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 computer. 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.

■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
