General Precautions
Toshiba computers are designed to optimise safety, minimise strain and
withstand the rigours 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.
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 30 cm
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.
