Computer
This information applies to your Toshiba computer and
should be noted when operating the specific functions
described below:
Connecting the AC adapter
CAUTION: Use only the AC adapter supplied with
your computer or an equivalent adapter that is
compatible. Use of any incompatible adapter could
damage your computer. Toshiba assumes no
liability for any damage caused by use of an
incompatible adapter.
When you connect the AC adapter to the computer,
always follow the steps in the exact order as
described in the User's Manual. Connecting the
power cable to a live electrical outlet should be the
last step otherwise the adapter DC output plug
could hold an electrical charge and cause an
electrical shock or minor bodily injury when
touched. As a general safety precaution, avoid
touching any metal parts.

Security
Toshiba recommends that the customer enable the WEP
(encryption) function. Otherwise, unwanted access to
your computer through a wireless LAN connection can
allow for intrusion of, and/or loss or destruction of data.
Toshiba is not liable for the loss or manipulation of data
due to the use of wireless LAN and the damage thereof.
SD Cards
You can use an SD card memory module; however,
Toshiba does not guarantee that all SD card memory
modules available will properly function with the Portégé
3500/3505.
The slot cannot accommodate MultiMedia cards or other
SD I/O cards.
Do not remove an SD card while read/write is in
progress.
Removing a Compact Flash module
CAUTION: Remove the Compact Flash module
only after confirming that the computer is not
accessing the Compact Flash card. If you remove
the Compact Flash card, or turn off the power while
the computer is accessing the card, you may lose
data or damage the card.

Tablet mode
When in tablet mode, you may enter your password by
tapping the on-screen keyboard using the tablet pen,
instead of using the computer keyboard.
A beep sounds for each entry on the on-screen keyboard,
and an asterisk is displayed for every character entered.
Press the Enter[Ent] key on the on-screen keyboard after
entering the password.
NOTE: If you enter the password incorrectly three
times in a row, the computer shuts off. In this case,
you must turn the computer back on to retry
password entry.
Real time clock battery
If the RTC battery completely discharges, the system
loses data and the real time clock and calendar no longer
function. The following message appears when you turn
on the computer:
**** RTC battery is low or CMOS checksum is
inconsistent ****

Symbol Commander™
When using the Microsoft Paint program with Symbol
Commander enabled, a second color can be selected but
not used, because any Tablet Pen movement while
holding the button is interpreted as an attempt to make a
symbol.
You may experience similar limitations when using
Windows Journal.
If you wish to disable Symbol Commander, right click
the Symbol Commander icon in the taskbar. To re-enable
Symbol Commander, simply right click the icon again.
Important information for the optional

Caution
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.
For more information, please visit Toshiba’s support
support site at www.pcsupport.toshiba.com.
Wireless LAN and your Health
Wireless LAN products, like other radio devices, emit
radio frequency electromagnetic energy. The level of
energy emitted by Wireless LAN devices however is far
much less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by
wireless devices, for example mobile phones.
Because Wireless LAN products operate within the
guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and
recommendations,ToshibabelievesWirelessLANissafe
for use by consumers. These standards and
recommendations reflect the consensus of the scientific
community and result from deliberations of panels and
committees of scientists who continually review and
interpret the extensive research literature.
In some situations or environments, the use of Wireless
LAN may be restricted by the proprietor of the building
or responsible representatives of the organization. These
situations may for example include:
❖Using the Wireless LAN equipment on board of
airplanes, or

❖In any other environment where the risk of
interference to other devices or services is perceived
or identified as harmful.
If you are uncertain of the policy that applies on the use of
wireless devices in a specific organization or environment
(e.g. airports), you are encouraged to ask for
authorization to use the Wireless LAN device prior to
turning on the equipment.

missions 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 interfer-
ence 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
