Using the tablet for the first time
This section provides basic information about how to start using your tablet.
It covers below steps followed by the details.
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 backup internal storage of the tablet to
an external media. General storage media is not durable or stable
over long periods of time and under certain conditions may result in
data loss.
TOSHIBA LT170
Connecting the AC adaptor
When battery power becomes low, you must recharge it.
Use only the tablet connected to an AC power source to charge the battery.
Never attempt to charge the battery with any other charger.
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.

Figure 3-2 The AC adaptor & power cable
1. USB connector 2. Power cable
3. Power connector 4. AC adaptor
Depending on the model, either a 2-pin or 3-pin AC adaptor will be
bundled with the tablet.
The supplied power cable 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 AC adaptor or tablet in other regions, you
should buy a power cable 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 will need to be charged before you can operate from battery
power.
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.
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 plug to a live electrical outlet should be the last step
otherwise the 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.
