User’s Manual vi Satellite Pro S750 FCC information FCC notice "Declaration of Conformity Information" This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: ■ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. ■ Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. ■ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. ■ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Only peripherals complying with the FCC class B limits may be attached to this equipment. Operation with non-compliant peripherals or peripherals not recommended by TOSHIBA is likely to result in interference to radio and TV reception. Shielded cables must be used between the external devices and the computer’s external monitor port, Universal Serial Bus (USB 2.0) ports, eSATA/USB combo port, Mini DisplayPort, serial port and microphone jack. Changes or modifications made to this equipment, not expressly approved by TOSHIBA or parties authorized by TOSHIBA could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. FCC conditions This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1. This device may not cause harmful interference. 2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Responsible for CE-Marking is TOSHIBA Europe GmbH, Hammfelddamm 8, 41460 Neuss, Germany. The complete and official EU Declaration of Conformity can be found on TOSHIBA’s web site http://epps.toshiba-teg.com on the Internet. CE compliance This product is labelled with the CE Mark in accordance with the related European Directives, notably Electromagnetic Compatibility Directive 2004/108/EC for the notebook and the electronic accessories including the supplied power adapter, the Radio Equipment and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Directive 1999/5/EC in case of implemented telecommunication accessories and the Low Voltage Directive 2006/95/EC for the supplied power adapter. Furthermore the product complies with the Ecodesign Directive 2009/125/EC (ErP) and its related implementing measures. This product and the original options are designed to observe the related EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and safety standards. However, TOSHIBA cannot guarantee that this product still observes these EMC standards if options or cables not produced by TOSHIBA are connected or implemented. In this case the persons who have connected/implemented those options/cables have to provide assurance that the system (PC plus options/cables) still fulfils the required standards. To avoid general EMC problems, the following guidance should be noted: ■ Only CE marked options should be connected/implemented ■ Only best shielded cables should be connected Working environment This product was designed to fulfil the EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) requirements to be observed for so-called "Residential, commercial and light industry environments". TOSHIBA do not approve the use of this product in working environments other than the above mentioned "Residential, commercial and light industry environments". For example, the following environments are not approved: ■ Industrial Environments (e.g. environments where a mains voltage of 380 V three-phase is used) ■ Medical Environments ■ Automotive Environments ■ Aircraft Environments Any consequences resulting from the use of this product in working environments that are not approved are not the responsibility of TOSHIBA. User’s Manual viii Satellite Pro S750 The consequences of the use of this product in non-approved working environments may be: ■ Interference with other devices or machines in the near surrounding area. ■ Malfunction of, or data loss from, this product caused by disturbances generated by other devices or machines in the near surrounding area. Therefore TOSHIBA strongly recommend that the electromagnetic compatibility of this product should be suitably tested in all non-approved working environments before use. In the case of automobiles or aircraft, the manufacturer or airline respectively should be asked for permission before use of this product. Furthermore, for general safety reasons, the use of this product in environments with explosive atmospheres is not permitted.

Modem warning notice This information is applicable to the models equipped with a built-in modem. Conformity Statement The equipment has been approved to [Commission Decision "CTR21"] for pan-European single terminal connection to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). However, due to differences between the individual PSTNs provided in different countries/regions the approval does not, of itself, give an unconditional assurance of successful operation on every PSTN network termination point. In the event of problems, you should contact your equipment supplier in the first instance. Network Compatibility Statement This product is designed to work with, and is compatible with the following networks. It has been tested to and found to conform with the additional requirements conditional in EG 201 121. Germany ATAAB AN005,AN006,AN007,AN009,AN010 and DE03,04,05,08,09,12,14,17 Greece ATAAB AN005,AN006 and GR01,02,03,04 Portugal ATAAB AN001,005,006,007,011 and P03,04,08,10 Spain ATAAB AN005,007,012, and ES01 Switzerland ATAAB AN002 All other countries/regions ATAAB AN003,004 Specific switch settings or software setup are required for each network, please refer to the relevant sections of the user guide for more details.
