General Precautions
Toshiba computers are designed to optimise safety, minimise 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 that 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 Warning
The base of the PC can become very warm; while the temperature will not
be too hot to the touch, prolonged physical contact may result in a
temporary heat imprint on the skin. It is recommended that prolonged
physical contact is avoided.
Also, 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.
Mobile phones
Use of mobile phones can interfere with the PC sound system. The PC
operation is not impaired but it is recommended that a distance of 30cm is
maintained between the PC & the mobile phone.
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.
PC card overheating
Some PC cards can become hot with prolonged use. If two cards are
installed, both can become hot even if only one is used extensively.
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.

Network connection (class A warning)
If this product has networking capabilities and will be connected to a
network, Class A radiation limits will be observed (in accordance with
technical conventions). This means that if the product will be used in a
domestic environment, other devices in the near surrounding may suffer
interference. Consequently, please do not use this product in such
environments (for example a living room), otherwise you could be held
responsible for any ensuing interference.
CE compliance
This product and the original options are designed to observe the related
EMC (Electromagnetic compatibility) and safety standards. However,
Toshiba should not 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 assure that the system (PC plus options /
cables) still fulfils the required standards. To avoid in general EMC
problems following advice should be observed:
Only CE marked options should be connected / implemented
Only best shielded cables should be connected
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 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.
