General Precautions
TOSHIBA computers are designed to optimize safety, minimize strain and
withstand the rigors of portability. However, certain precautions should be
observed to further reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the
computer.
Be certain to read the general precautions below and to note the cautions
included in the text of the manual.
Stress injury
Carefully read the Safety Instruction Manual. It contains information on
prevention of stress injuries to your hands and wrists than can be caused
by extensive keyboard use. Chapter 3, Getting Started, also includes
information on work space design, posture and lighting that can help
reduce physical stress.
Heat injury
■ Avoid prolonged physical contact with the computer. If the computer
is used for long periods, its surface can become very warm. While the
temperature will not feel hot to the touch, if you maintain physical
contact with the computer for a long time (if you rest the computer on
your lap, or if you keep your hands on the palm rest, for example) your
skin might suffer low-heat injury.
■ If the computer has been used for a long time, avoid direct contact
with the metal plate supporting the I/O ports. It can become hot.
■ The surface of the AC adaptor can become hot when in use. This
condition does not indicate a malfunction. If you need to transport the
AC adaptor, disconnect it and let it cool before moving it.
■ Do not lay the AC adaptor on a material that is sensitive to heat. The
material could be damaged.
Pressure or impact damage
Do not apply heavy pressure to the computer or subject it to strong
impact. Excessive pressure or impact can cause damage to computer
components or otherwise cause malfunctions.

Tecra M1
Central Processing Unit ("CPU") Performance Disclaimer
CPU Performance in your computer product may vary from specifications
under the following conditions:
1. use of certain peripheral products
2. use of battery power instead of AC power
3. use of certain multimedia games or videos with special effects
4. use of standard telephone lines or low speed network connections
5. use of complex modeling software, such as high end computer aided
design application
6. use of computer in areas with low air puressure (high altitude
>1,000 meters or >3,280 feet above sea level)
7. use of computer at temperatures outside the range of 5°C to 35°C
(41°F to 95°F) or >25°C (77°F) at high altitude (all temperature
reference are approximate).
CPU performance may also vary from specifications due to design
configuration.
Under some conditions, your computer product may automatically shut-
down. This is a normal protective feature designed to reduce the risk of
lost data or damage to the product when used outside recommended
conditions. To avoid risk of lost data, always make back-up copies of
data by periodically storing it on an external strage medium. For optimum
performance, use your computer product only under recommended
conditions. Read additional restrictions under “Environmental Conditions”
in the Appendix A of the User’s Manual. Contact TOSHIBA Technical
Service and Support for more information.
PC card overheating
Some PC cards can become hot with prolonged use. Overheating of a PC
card can result in errors or instability in the PC card operation. Also be
careful when you remove a PC card that has been used for a long time.
Mobile phone
Use of mobile phones can interfere with the audio system. Computer
operation is not impaired but is recommended that a distance of 30cm be
maintained between the computer and a mobile phone in use.
