Type of service
Your modem is designed to be used on standard-device telephone lines.
Connection to telephone company-provided coin service (central office
implemented systems) is prohibited. Connection to party lines service is
subject to state tariffs. If you have any questions about your telephone line,
such as how many pieces of equipment you can connect to it, the
telephone company will provide this information upon request.
Telephone company procedures
The goal of the telephone company is to provide you with the best service it
can. In order to do this, it may occasionally be necessary for them to make
changes in their equipment, operations, or procedures. If these changes
might affect your service or the operation of your equipment, the telephone
company will give you notice in writing to allow you to make any changes
necessary to maintain uninterrupted service.
If problems arise
If any of your telephone equipment is not operating properly, you should
immediately remove it from your telephone line, as it may cause harm to
the telephone network. If the telephone company notes a problem, they
may temporarily discontinue service. When practical, they will notify you in
advance of this disconnection. If advance notice is not feasible, you will be
notified as soon as possible. When you are notified, you will be given the
opportunity to correct the problem and informed of your right to file a
complaint with the FCC. In the event repairs are ever needed on your
modem, they should be performed by TOSHIBA Corporation or an
authorized representative of TOSHIBA Corporation.

Notes for Users in Australia and New Zealand
Modem warning notice for Australia
Modems connected to the Australian telecoms network must have a valid
Austel permit. This modem has been designed to specifically configure to
ensure compliance with Austel standards when the country/region selection
is set to Australia. The use of other country/region setting while the modem
is attached to the Australian PSTN would result in you modem being
operated in a non-compliant manner. To verify that the country/region is
correctly set, enter the command ATI which displays the currently active
setting.
To set the country/region permanently to Australia, enter the following
command sequence:
AT%TE=1
ATS133=1
AT&F
AT&W
AT%TE=0
ATZ
Failure to set the modem to the Australia country/region setting as shown
above will result in the modem being operated in a non-compliant manner.
Consequently, there would be no permit in force for this equipment and the
Telecoms Act 1991 prescribes a penalty of $12,000 for the connection of
non-permitted equipment.
Notes for use of this device in New Zealand
■ The grant of a Telepermit for a device in no way indicates Telecom
acceptance of responsibility for the correct operation of that device
under all operating conditions. In particular the higher speeds at which
this modem is capable of operating depend on a specific network
implementation which is only one of many ways of delivering high
quality voice telephony to customers. Failure to operate should not be
reported as a fault to Tel e com.
■ In addition to satisfactory line conditions a modem can only work
properly if:
a/ it is compatible with the modem at the other end of the call and.
b/ the application using the modem is compatible with the application
at the other end of the call - e.g., accessing the Internet requires
suitable software in addition to a modem.
■ This equipment shall not be used in any manner which could constitute
a nuisance to other Telecom customers.
User’s Manual ix
User’s Manual
■ Some parameters required for compliance with Telecom’s PTC
Specifications are dependent on the equipment (PC) associated with
this modem. The associated equipment shall be set to operate within
the following limits for compliance with Telecom Specifications:
a/ There shall be no more than 10 call attempts to the same number
within any 30 minute period for any single manual call initiation, and
b/ The equipment shall go on-hook for a period of not less than 30
seconds between the end of one attempt and the beginning of the
next.
c/ Automatic calls to different numbers shall be not less than 5
seconds apart.
■ Immediately disconnect this equipment should it become physically
damaged, and arrange for its disposal or repair.
■ The correct settings for use with this modem in New Zealand are as
follows:
ATB0 (CCITT operation)
AT&G2 (1800 Hz guard tone)
AT&P1 (Decadic dialing make-break ratio =33%/67%)
ATS0=0 (not auto answer)
ATS6=4 (Blind dial delay)
A TS7=less than 90 (Time to wait to carrier after dialing)
ATS10=less than 150 (loss of carrier to hangup delay, factory
default of 15 recommended)
ATS11=90 (DTMF dialing on/off duration=90 ms)
ATX2 (Dial tone detect, but not (U.S.A.) call progress detect)
■ When used in the Auto Answer mode, the S0 register must be set with a
value of 3 or 4. This ensures:
■ a person calling your modem will hear a short burst of ringing before
the modem answers. This confirms that the call has been
successfully switched through the network.
■ caller identification information (which occurs between the first and
second ring cadences) is not destroyed.
■ The preferred method of dialing is to use DTMF tones (ATDT...) as this
is faster and more reliable than pulse (decadic) dialing. If for some
reason you must use decadic dialing, your communications program
must be set up to record numbers using the following translation table
as this modem does not implement the New Zealand “Reverse Dialing”
standard.
Number to be dialed: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Number to program into computer: 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
Note that where DTMF dialing is used, the numbers should be
entered normally.
x User’s Manual
■ The transmit level from this device is set at a fixed level and because of
this there may be circumstances where the performance is less than
optimal. Before reporting such occurrences as faults, please check the
line with a standard Telepermitted telephone, and only report a fault if
the phone performance is impaired.
■ It is recommended that this equipment be disconnected from the
Telecom line during electrical storms.
■ When relocating the equipment, always disconnect the Telecom line
connection before the power connection, and reconnect the power first.
■ This equipment may not be compatible with Telecom Distinctive Alert
cadences and services such as FaxAbility.
NOTE THAT FAULT CALLOUTS CAUSED BY ANY OF THE ABOVE
CAUSES MAY IN CUR A CHARGE FROM TELECOM

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 (if you rest the computer on
your lap, or if you keep your hands on the palm rest, for example) your
skin might suffer low-heat injury.
■ 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.
■ The surface of the AC adaptor can become hot when in use. 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. The
material could be damaged.
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.

Establishing a comfortable work site is important for you and your
computer. A poor work environment or stressful work habits can result in
discomfort or serious injury from repetitive strain to your hands, wrists or
other joints. Proper ambient conditions should also be maintained for the
computer’s operation. This section discusses the following topics:
■ General conditions
■ Placement of the computer
■ Seating and posture
■ Lighting
■ Work habits
User’s Manual 3-1
Getting Started
General conditions
In general, if you are comfortable, so is your computer, but read the
following to make sure your work site provides a proper environment.
■ Select a work area that has:
■ a well-designed and functioning ventilation system that does not
■ good air circulation
■ a comfortable ambient temperature and relative humidity.
■ Never place your PC 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 PC.
■ Never place your PC in a location where it will be exposed to extremely
low temperatures. This may result in a system failure, malfunction or
loss of data.
■ Never subject your PC to sudden temperature variations. This may
result in condensation, causing a system failure, malfunction or loss of
data.
■ Do not expose your PC to dusty environments. If dust gets inside the
PC, it could cause a system failure, malfunction or loss of data. If dust
contaminates the PC, do not turn on the power. Take it to an authorized
Toshiba service provider before you use it.
■ Never place your PC near an object that generates a magnetic field,
such as a speaker or TV. Do no t wear magnetic bracelets while using
your PC. Exposure to magnetic fields can cause system failure,
malfunction or loss of data.
■ Never place a heavy object on the PC and be careful not to drop a
heavy object onto the PC. It could damage the PC or cause system
failure.
■ Never use benzene, thinner or other chemicals when cleaning the PC,
AC adaptor, or storage device. The use of benzene, thinner or other
chemicals may result in deterioration, deformation or discoloration of
those items and the loss of data.
■ Make sure the AC power cord connects to an outlet that is close to the
computer and easily accessible.
■ The temperature should be 5 to 35 degrees Centigrade (41 to 95
degrees Fahrenheit) and the relative humidity should be 20 to 80
percent.
■ Keep the computer free of dust, moisture, and exposure to direct
sunlight.
■ Some parts of the computer, including data storage media, can be
damaged by magnets. Do not place the computer near magnetic
objects or bring magnetic objects close to the computer. Be careful of
objects, such as stereo speakers, that produce strong magnetic fields
during operation. Also, be careful with metal objects, such as bracelet s,
which can be inadvertently magnetized.
■ Do not operate the computer in close proximity to a mobile phone.
forcefully direct air on you
3-2 User’s Manual
■ Leave ample ventilation room for the fan. Do not block the vents.
■ If the PC interferes with radio equipment, turn the PC power off
immediately. Such interference could cause equipment malfunction.
■ Never place your PC on a shaky table, uneven, tilted surface or other
unstable location. Your PC may fall, causing damage to the PC or
possibly injury.
■ Never leave the power to your PC on continuously for more than 24
hours. Turn the power off when this product is not in use.
■ Always avoid abrupt changes of temperature or humidity.
■ Never place close to heat radiating appliances such as a heater.
■ Never place close to corrosive chemicals.
■ Never place close to magnetic field radiating appliances such as a
stereo speaker.
■ Always place this product on a flat surface.
■ Provide a sufficient space behind the PC to allow easy adjustment of

■ Always provide sufficient space around the PC to ensure adequate
ventilation.
■ Always provide sufficient space for operating a mouse and other
peripheral devices.
Placement of the computer
Position the computer and peripheral devices to provide comfort and
safety.
■ Position your LCD display panel or place your monitor in an appropriate
position to help reduce awkward postures and overhead glare. For
example:
■ Position LCD directly in front of you and at a comfortable distance
away.
■ Position LCD so the top of the screen is at or slightly below eye
level. A display screen that is too high or too low can cause
awkward postures and possibly fatigue muscles that support the
head.
■ Rest your eyes periodically by focusing on objects that are farther
away.
■ If you use a paper holder, set it at about the same height and distance
as the computer.

Seating and posture
Maintain a comfortable working posture when using your PC where your
body joints are naturally aligned to reduce stress on different parts of your
body. Consider the following:
Foot rest
■ Keep hands, wrists, and forearms straight, in-line and roughly parallel to
the floor.
■ Keep head level, or bent slightly forward, forward facing, and balanced.
Generally the head is in-line with the torso.
■ Keep shoulders relaxed and let upper arms hang normally at the side of
the body.
■ Keep elbows in close to the body and bent.
■ Keep feet fully supported by floor or foot rest.
■ Keep back fully supported with appropriate lumbar support when sitting
vertical or leaning back slightly.
■ Keep thighs and hips supported by a well-padded seat cushion and
generally parallel to the floor.
■ Keep knees about the same height as the hips with the feet slightly
forward.

Lighting
Select the right level of illumination and place your PC appropriately to
minimize glare from overhead lights, desk lamps and windows. Glare on
the LCD or monitor may cause eye strain, eye fatigue or headaches.
3-4 User’s Manual
Consider the following suggestions regarding lighting your work
environment:
■ Position the PC so that the light source does not shine or reflect directly
onto the display or shine or reflect directly into the eyes of the user.
■ Shield the PC from direct light by using tinted windows or by installing
blinds or a screen.
■ Use soft, indirect lighting.
■ Adjust the display panel to provide maximum visibility.
Work habits
A key to avoiding discomfort or injury from repetitive strain is to vary your
activities. If possible, schedule a variety of tasks into your workday. If you
must spend long periods at the computer, finding ways to break up the
routine can reduce stress and improve your efficiency.
■ Sit in a relaxed posture. Good positioning of your chair and equipment
as described earlier can reduce tension in your shoulders or neck and
ease back strain.
■ Vary your posture frequently.
■ Occasionally stand up and stretch or exercise briefly.
■ Exercise and stretch your wrists and hands a number of times during
the day.
■ Frequently, look away from the computer and focus your eyes on a
distant object for several seconds, for example 30 seconds every 15
minutes.
■ Take frequent short breaks instead of one or two long breaks, for
example, two or three minutes every half hour.
■ When you use a PC, rest your eyes periodically and relax or stretch
your muscles to avoid strain. If you experience discomfort while
operating the PC, stop immediately and rest. Continuous operation for
long periods without adequate rest may cause pain in the arms, wrists,
hands, back, neck or other parts of the body. If pain persists despite
rest, consult your doctor.
A number of books are available on ergonomics and repetitive strain injury
or repetitive stress syndrome. For more information on these topics or for
pointers on exercises for such stress points as hands and wrists, please
check with your library or book vendor. Also refer to the computer’s
Instruction Manual for Safety & Comfort.

durable or stable over long periods of time and under certain conditions
may result in data loss.
■ Before you install a device or application, save any data in memory to
the hard disk drive or other storage media. Failure to do so may result in
the loss of data.
Connecting the AC adaptor
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.
The AC adaptor can be connected to any power source supplying from 100
to 240 volts and 50 or 60 hertz. For details on using the AC adaptor to
charge the battery pack, refer to Chapter 6, Power and Power-Up Modes.
■ Always use the Toshiba AC adaptor that was provided with your PC
and the Toshiba Battery Charger (that may have been provided with
your PC), or use Toshiba recommended alternate models to avoid any
risk of fire or other damage to the PC. Use of an incompatible AC
adaptor or Battery Charger could cause fire or damage to the PC
possibly resulting in serious injury.
■ Use only the AC adaptor supplied with your computer or an equivalent
adaptor that is compatible. Use of any incompatible adaptor could
damage your computer. TOSHIBA assumes no liability for any damage
caused by use of an incompatible adaptor.
■ Never plug the AC adaptor or Battery Charger 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.

How the Swipe the Finger
Using the following steps when swiping fingers for fingerprint registration or
authentication will help to minimize authentication failures:
1. Align the first joint of the finger to the center of the sensor. Lightly touch
the sensor and swipe finger levelly towards you.
While lightly touching the sensor, swipe the finger towards you until the
sensor surface becomes visible.
Ensure the center of the fingerprint is on the sensor when swiping the
finger.
2. Scroll:
The screen can be scrolled up or down by sliding the finger over the

■ Avoid swiping with the finger stiff or pressed-on too hard
Fingerprint reading may fail if the center of the fingerprint is not
touching on the sensor, or when finger is swiped while pressing hard.
Make sure that the center of the fingerprint is touching the sensor
before swiping.
■ Confirm the center of the fingerprint whirl before swiping
The thumb's fingerprint has a bigger whirl, which is prone to
misalignment and distortions. This will cause difficulty in registration
and a drop in the authentication success rate. Always confirm the
center of the fingerprint whirl so that it is swiped along the centerline of
the sensor.
■ When fingerprint reading is not successful
There is a possibility of authentication failures if the finger is swiped too
quickly or too slowly. Follow the onscreen instructions to adjust the
speed of the swipe.

Using optical media drives
■ The optical media drive is optional.
■ The optical media drive can be used by connecting libretto DVD Dock
to this computer.
■ Please ensure that it is used on a flat surface such as a table when a
CD/DVD is used to connect to the libretto DVD Dock. If used when
placed on an unstable location or if strong vibrations shake it during
operation, the CD/DVD might be scratched and the drive might be
damaged.
The text and illustrations in this section refer primarily to the optional media
drive. However, operation is the same for all other optical media drives.
The full-size drive provides high-performance execution of CD/DVD-ROMbased programs. You can run either 12 cm (4.72") or 8 cm (3.15") CD/
DVDs without an adaptor. An ATAPI interface controller is used for CD/
DVD-ROM operation. When the computer is accessing a CD/DVD-ROM,
an indicator on the drive glows. For detailed information, refer to Chapter 8,
libretto DVD Dock.
Use the WinDVD application to view DVD-Video discs.
When playing DVD-Video, always connect the AC adaptor to ensure
maximum performance. Operation on battery power might result in skipped
frames.
If you have a DVD-ROM&CD-R/RW drive, refer also to the Writing CDs on
DVD-ROM&CD-R/RW drive section for precautions on writing to CDs.
If you have a DVD Super Multi drive, refer also to the Writing CD/DVDs on
DVD Super Multi drive section for precautions on writing to CDs.
