Introduction

Safety instructions

There are two categories of Safety Instructions included in this manual: Product Warnings, (i.e., what must never be done to assure avoiding those hazards that could cause bodily injury or property damage); and User Directions (i.e., what must always be done to assure the safe use of your Pocket PC). The Safety Instructions contained in this manual have been categorized in accordance with the seriousness of the potential hazards through the use of Signal Words.

Those Signal Words, and their intended meanings, are as follows:

Signal Word	Meaning

DANGER	Indicates that a failure to observe the Safety
	Instructions could result in serious bodily injury.

CAUTION	Indicates that a failure to observe the Safety
	Instructions could result in minor bodily injury or
	property damage.

WARNING	Designates important information that relates to
	the safe use of your Pocket PC. Your Pocket PC
	produces low levels of RF energy due to the
	generation of digital timing pulses by its clock
	oscillator circuits. Your Pocket PC has been
	equipped with internal shielding to minimize any
	stray emissions of RF energy. Airlines may
	nevertheless prohibit the on-board use of all
	portable PCs (and all other portable electronic
	devices that could potentially emit stray RF
	energy), particularly during take-offs and
	landings, to prevent any possible interference
	with the reception of signals by airborne
	electronic navigational devices.

WARNING

Always request and obtain prior consent and approval of an authorized airline representative before using your Pocket PC aboard an aircraft. Always follow the instructions of the airline representative whenever using your Pocket PC aboard an aircraft, to prevent any possible interference with airborne electronic equipment.

User's Manual

Introduction

Never drop your Pocket PC or subject it to severe shock. Drop ping your Pocket PC or subjecting it to severe shock could cause the built-in battery to leak, ignite and/or rupture. Always immediately remove your Pocket PC and its battery from the vicinity of any open flame in the event the built-in battery leaks liquid or emits an unusual odour. Continued use of your Pocket PC under either of these conditions could cause ignition (i.e., fire) of the leaked battery liquid, or rupture. Never touch any fluid that might leak from the built-in battery. Such liquid when in contact with the eyes or skin, could cause injury to the skin or eyes. Should the liquid come into contact with the eyes, irrigate the eyes thoroughly with clean water and immediately seek medical attention. In the event the liquid comes into contact with the skin or clothing, wash it away immediately with clean water. Never attempt to disassemble, repair or make any modification to your Pocket PC. Disassembly, modification or any attempt at repair could cause bodily injury or property damage, as well as damage to the Pocket PC itself. Failure to follow the above directions concerning use and storage could result in damage to your Pocket PC or bodily injury and property damage due to battery liquid leakage, fire or rupture.

CAUTION

Never raise the sound volume level to high when using your Pocket PC with earphones. An excessive sound volume level could cause damage to your hearing. Never touch the liquid that might leak from a broken liquid crystal display. Contact with this liquid could cause a skin rash. If the crystal display liquid should come into contact with the skin or clothing, wash it immediately with clean water. Never allow infants or small children within reach of your Pocket PC. Infants or small children could injure themselves if allowed access to your Pocket PC.

DANGER

Never attempt to disassemble or repair an AC Adaptor, and never alter their Power Supply Cables or plugs as exposure to electric shock hazards could result. Always contact an authorized service provider, if repair or replacement is required.

WARNING

Never connect or disconnect the AC Adaptor with wet hands. Connecting or disconnecting the AC Adaptor to a power source with wet hands could cause electric shock.

User's Manual

Introduction

CAUTION

Avoid connecting your Pocket PC to an external device such as a computer in an environment likely to be affected by static electricity. For example, during low-humidity weather, shuffling your shoes upon a rug can produce static electricity. Before you handle your computer, you should touch a grounded object to discharge any static electricity from your body.

Avoid using your Pocket PC in environments that are likely to be affected by static electricity or are prone to high electrical noise. If you connect your Pocket PC to a computer via the docking cradle for data transfer or data restoration purposes, Toshiba will not be responsible for any Pocket PC or computer malfunction, problems with data transfer (restoration creation or data communication) or data modification/loss that may occur in these environments.

CAUTION

Never place an AC Adaptor on a wooden surface (or any other surface that could be marred by exposure to heat) while it is in use, since its surface temperature increases during normal use. Always rest it on a suitable heat-insulating material. Never cover the AC Adaptor with any object while it is in use, and never place it adjacent to a heat source. An excessive temperature increase could detrimentally affect its performance. Never place a Power Supply Cable near a heat source, as damage to the cord or to its insulation could result. Always use a surge protector when utilizing the AC Adaptor during an electrical storm. Otherwise, a power surge could result in the loss of stored data. Insert the power plug to a household electric outlet. When travelling abroad, never plug the AC Adaptor into a power source that does not correspond to both the voltage and the frequency specified on the rating plate of the unit, as equipment damage will result. Never attempt to connect or disconnect the power plug with damp or wet hands. Connecting or disconnecting the power plug with damp or wet hands could result in an electric shock. Never leave an open container, such as a cup or glass, containing a liquid near the AC Adaptor. Spilled liquid coming in contact with the AC Adaptor could cause a fire or electric shock. Always ensure the power plug pins are clean and free of dust or other foreign material by wiping the pins with a clean dry cloth. Dust or other foreign material accumulation on the power plug pins could cause fire. Always unplug the power plug from an outlet by grasping the power plug itself. Never pull on the Power Supply Cable to disconnect the Power Supply Cable from an outlet. Pulling on the Power Supply Cable could cause a fire or electric shock as a result of damage to the Power Supply Cable.
