Wireless WAN Guide

Introduction

Depending on the model you purchased your TOSHIBA Notebook PC

comes with a built-in Wireless WAN (wide area network) device. This

device gives you the ability for a high-speed connection to the Internet,

corporate intranet, and your email while you are away from the office. This

guide provides all the information you need to get started and use your new

TOSHIBA Wireless WAN module.

Safety Precautions

Please read the Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort that shipped

with your system. It contains important safety information.

Using your computer aboard an aircraft

Depending on the model you purchased, a SIM card and a connection

utility will be pre-installed. For more information, check your accessory box

for accompanying materials that were provided by the SIM card operator. If

the SIM card is not pre-installed, a connection utility (TOSHIBA Wireless

Manager) will be pre-installed to access to the network using the SIM card

you purchased. If Toshiba Wireless Manager is not pre-installed, use the

connection utility bundled or provided by the carrier.

Present aviation agency regulations and airline policies typically

require that you turn off your computer and any wireless

communication switches or devices before boarding an aircraft.

While it is foreseeable that during certain non-critical phases of your

flight, certain computer and/or wireless technologies might be

permitted for use on board an aircraft, use of wireless WAN

communication is normally prohibited. Since this computer is equipped

with the wireless WAN feature, please be sure to turn off the wireless

communication switch even if use of wireless LAN and/or Bluetooth

is

permitted. For this computer model, a single wireless communication

switch controls all wireless communications and wireless LAN and/or

Bluetooth

cannot be selectively turned on without also turning on

wireless WAN. If the wireless communication switch is turned on,

wireless WAN radio waves may be transmitted.

Unapproved use of computer and/or wireless communication might

interfere with navigation and aircraft communication systems, possibly

causing serious injury.
