■If dust gets on the power plug connectors or connector base, turn the power off and disconnect the power plug. Then clean the connector and/or connector base with a dry cloth. Continuing to use the product without cleaning the power plug may result in a fire or an electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.
■Always use the TOSHIBA AC adaptor that was provided with your product, or use AC adaptors specified by TOSHIBA to avoid any risk of fire or other damage to the product. Use of an incompatible AC adaptor could cause fire or damage to the product possibly resulting in serious injury. TOSHIBA assumes no liability for any damage caused by use of an incompatible adaptor or charger.
■Never plug the AC adaptor into a power source that does not correspond to both the voltage and the frequency specified on the regulatory label of the unit. Failure to do so could result in a fire or electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.
■Never attempt to connect or disconnect a power plug with wet hands. Failure to follow this instruction could result in an electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.
■Never leave small parts such as covers, caps and screws within the reach of infants or small children. Swallowing a small part may cause choking and suffocation resulting in death or serious injury. If a part is swallowed, immediately take appropriate emergency action and consult a doctor.
■Never allow any liquids to spill into any part of your product, and never expose the product to rain, water, seawater or moisture. Exposure to liquid or moisture can cause electric shock or fire, resulting in damage or serious injury. If any of these eventualities should accidentally occur, immediately:
1.Turn off the product.
2.Disconnect the AC adaptor from the power plug socket and product.
Do not turn on the power again, until you have taken the product to an authorized service center. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or permanent damage to the product.
■Never place your product or AC adaptor on a wooden surface, furniture, or any other surface that could be marred by exposure to heat since the product base and AC adaptor's surface increase in temperature during normal use.
■Always place your product or AC adaptor on a flat and hard surface that is resistant to heat damage.
■Never place your product where it will be exposed to excess heat, such as in direct sunlight, an unventilated vehicle or near a heater. This may result in a system failure, malfunction, loss of data or damage to the product.
■Never place your product in a location where it will be exposed to extremely low temperatures. This may result in a system failure, malfunction or loss of data.

This chapter provides an equipment checklist, grand tour of your tablet and basic information to start using your tablet.
Some of the features described in this manual may not function properly if you use an operating system that was not pre-installed by TOSHIBA.
■ All users should be sure to read the section Initial Setup.
This section provides basic information to start using your tablet. It covers the following topics:
■Connecting the AC adaptor
■Turning on the power
■Initial Setup
■Turning off the power
■ Use a virus-check program and make sure it is updated regularly.
■Never format storage media without checking its content - formatting destroys all stored data.
■It is a good idea to periodically back up main storage device to external media. General storage media is not durable or stable over long periods of time and under certain conditions may result in data loss.
Connecting the AC adaptor
The AC adaptor can automatically adjust to any voltage ranging from 100 to 240 volt and to a frequency of either 50 or 60 hertz, enabling you to use this product in almost all country/region. The adaptor converts AC power to DC power and reduces the voltage supplied to this tablet.

Getting Started & Grand Tour
(Sample Illustration) The AC adaptor (2-pin plug)
(Sample Illustration) The AC adaptor (3-pin plug)
■Depending on the model, either a 2-pin or 3-pin adaptor/power lead will be bundled with the tablet.
■Do not use a 3-pin to 2-pin conversion plug.
■The supplied power cord conforms to safety rules and regulations in the region the tablet is bought and should not be used outside of this region. In order to use the adaptor/tablet in other regions, you should buy a power cord that conforms to the safety rules and regulations in that particular region.
Attach the AC adaptor when you need to charge the battery or you want to operate from AC power. It is also the fastest way to get started, because the battery pack will need to be charged before you can operate from battery power.

Getting Started & Grand Tour
■ Always use the TOSHIBA AC adaptor that was included with your tablet, or use AC adaptors specified by TOSHIBA to avoid any risk of fire or other damage to the tablet. Use of an incompatible AC adaptor could cause fire or damage to the tablet 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 correspond to both the voltage and the frequency specified on the regulatory label of the unit. Failure to do so could result in a fire or electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.
■Always use or purchase power cables that comply with the legal voltage and frequency specifications and requirements in the country of use. Failure to do so could result in a fire or electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.
■Do not use a 3-pin to 2-pin conversion plug.
■When you connect the AC adaptor to the tablet, 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 adaptor 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.
■Never place your tablet or AC adaptor on a wooden surface, furniture, or any other surface that could be marred by exposure to heat since the tablet base and AC adaptor's surface increase in temperature during normal use.
■Always place your tablet or AC adaptor on a flat and hard surface that is resistant to heat damage.
1.Connect the power cord to the AC adaptor.
2.Connect the AC adaptor’s DC output plug to the DC IN 19V jack on the tablet.
3.Plug the power cord into a live wall outlet - the Battery indicator on the display panel of the tablet should glow.
