- 1 - Information sheet 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. CAUTIONS: 1. 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 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. 2. 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.pc.support.global.toshiba.com in the United States for more information. 3. 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.
