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 following general precautions and to note the
cautions included in the text of the manual.
Provide adequate ventilation
Always make sure that your computer and AC adaptor have adequate
ventilation and are protected from overheating when the power is turned on
or when an AC adaptor is connected to a power outlet (even if your
computer is in Sleep Mode). In this condition, observe the following:
Never cover your computer or AC adaptor with any object.
Never place your computer or AC adaptor near a heat source, such as
an electric blanket or heater.
Never cover or block the air vents including those at the base of the
computer.
Always operate your computer on a hard flat surface. Using your
computer on a carpet or other soft material can block the vents.

Overheating your computer or AC adaptor could cause system failure,
computer or AC adaptor damage or a fire, possibly resulting in serious
injury.
Creating a computer-friendly environment
Place the computer on a flat surface that is large enough for the computer
and any other items you are using, such as a printer.
Leave enough space around the computer and other equipment to provide
adequate ventilation. Otherwise, they might overheat.
To keep your computer in prime operating condition, protect your work area
from:
Dust, moisture, and direct sunlight.
Equipment that generates a strong electromagnetic field, such as
stereo speakers (other than speakers that are connected to the
computer) or speakerphones.
Rapid changes in temperature or humidity and sources of temperature
change such as air conditioner vents or heaters.
Extreme heat, cold, or humidity.
Liquids and corrosive chemicals.
User's Manual 1-11

Stress injury
Carefully read the Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort. It contains
information on the prevention of stress injuries to your hands and wrists
that can be caused by extensive keyboard use. It 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, for example if you rest the
computer on your lap or if you keep your hands on the palm rest, your
skin might suffer a low-heat injury.
If the computer has been used for a long time, avoid direct contact
with the metal plate supporting the various interface ports as this can
become hot.
The surface of the AC adaptor can become hot when in use but 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 as the
material could become damaged.
Pressure or impact damage
Do not apply heavy pressure to the computer or subject it to any form of
strong impact as this can damage the computer's components or otherwise
cause it to malfunction.
Cleaning the computer
To help ensure long, trouble-free operation, keep the computer free of dust
and dirt, and use care with all liquids around it.
Be careful not to spill liquids into the computer. If the computer does
get wet, turn the power off immediately and let the computer dry
completely. In these circumstances, you should get the computer
inspected by an authorized service provider in order to assess the
scope of any damage.
Clean the plastics of the computer using a cloth slightly dampened
with water.
You can clean the display screen by spraying a small amount of glass
cleaner onto a soft, clean cloth and then wiping the screen gently with
the cloth.
Never spray cleaner directly onto the computer or let liquid run into any part
of it. Never use harsh or caustic chemical products to clean the computer.
User's Manual 1-12

Moving the computer
While the computer is designed for flexible day-to-day usage, you should
exercise a few simple precautions when moving it in order to help ensure
trouble-free operation.
Make sure all disk/disc activity has ended before moving the
computer.
Turn off (shut down) the computer.
Disconnect the AC adaptor and all peripherals before moving the
computer.
Close the display panel.
Do not pick up the computer by its display panel.
Before carrying your computer, shut it down, disconnect the AC
adaptor and allow it to cool down. A failure to follow this instruction
might result in minor heat injury.
Do not expose the computer to rapid temperature changes (for
example, in a situation where you carry the computer from a cold
environment to a warm room). Do not turn on the power until
condensation disappears.
Be careful not to subject the computer to impact or shock. A failure to
follow this instruction could result in damage to computer, computer
failure, or loss of data.
Never transport your computer with any cards installed. This might
damage either the computer and/or the card resulting in computer
failure.
Always use a suitable carry case when transporting the computer.
When carrying your computer, be sure to hold it securely so that it
does not fall or hit anything.
Do not carry your computer by holding any of its protruding elements.
Mobile phones
Be aware that the use of mobile phones can interfere with the audio
system. The operation of the computer will not be impaired in any way, but
it is recommended that a minimum distance of 30 cm is maintained
between the computer and a mobile phone that is in use.

Connecting the AC adaptor
Opening the display
User's Manual 2-2

Turning on the power
Initial setup
Getting to know Windows
Use a virus-check program and make sure that it is updated regularly.
Never format storage media without checking its content - formatting
destroys all stored data.
It is a good idea to back up the internal storage drive or other main
storage device to external media periodically. General storage media
is not durable or stable over long periods of time and under certain
conditions might result in data loss.
Before you install a device or application, save any data in memory to
the internal storage drive or other storage media. Failure to do so
might result in data loss.
Connecting the AC adaptor
Attach the AC adaptor when you want to charge the battery or operate from
AC power. The battery pack must be charged before you can operate from
battery power.
The AC adaptor can automatically adjust to any voltage ranging from 100
volts to 240 volts and to a frequency of either 50 hertz or 60 hertz, enabling
you to use this computer in almost any country/region. The adaptor
converts AC power to DC power and reduces the voltage supplied to this
computer.
Always use the TOSHIBA AC adaptor that was included with your
computer, or use AC adaptors specified by TOSHIBA to avoid any risk
of fire or other damage to the computer. Use of an incompatible AC
adaptor might cause fire or damage to the computer possibly resulting
in serious injury. TOSHIBA assumes no liability for any damage
caused by use of an incompatible adaptor.
Never plug the AC adaptor into a power source that does not
