General Precautions

TOSHIBA computers are designed to optimize safety, minimize strain and withstand the rigors 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.

Provide adequate ventilation

■ Always make sure your computer and AC adaptor have adequate

ventilation and are protected from overheating when the power is turned on or when an AC adaptor is connected to a power outlet (even if your computer is in Sleep Mode). In this condition, observe the following:

■ Never cover your computer or AC adaptor with any object.

■ Never place your computer or AC adaptor near a heat source, such

as anelectric blanket or heater.

■ Never cover or block the air vents including those located at the

base of the computer.

■ Always operate your computer on a hard flat surface. Using your

computer on a carpet or other soft material can block the vents.

■ Always provide sufficient space around the computer.

■ Overheating your computer or AC adaptor could cause system failure,

computer or AC adaptor damage or a fire, possibly resulting in serious injury.

User’s Manual xiv

Page 12

Creating a computer-friendly environment

Place the computer on a flat surface that is large enough for the computer and any other items you are using, such as a printer.

Leave enough space around the computer and other equipment to provide adequate ventilation. Otherwise, they may overheat.

T o keep your computer in prime operating condition, protect your work area from:

■ Dust, moisture, and direct sunlight.

■ Equipment that generates a strong electromagnetic field, such as

stereo speakers (other than speakers that are connected to the computer) or speakerphones.

■ Rapid changes in temperature or humidity and sources of temperature

change such as air conditioner vents or heaters.

■ Extreme heat, cold, or humidity.

■ Liquids and corrosive chemicals.

Stress injury

Carefully read the Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort. It contains information on the prevention of stress injuries to your hands and wrists that can be caused by extensive keyboard use. Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort also includes information on work space design, posture and lighting that can help reduce physical stress.

Libretto W100

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, for example if you rest the computer on your lap or if you keep your hands on the palm rest, your skin might suffer a low-heat injury.

■ If the computer has been used for a long time, avoid direct contact with

the metal plate supporting the various interface ports as this can become hot.

■ The surface of the AC adaptor can become hot when in use but this

condition does not indicate a malfunction. If you need to transport the AC adaptor, you should disconnect it and let it cool before moving it.

■ Do not lay the AC adaptor on a material that is sensitive to heat as the

material could become damaged.

■ All users should be sure to read the section Starting up f or the first time.

■ Be sure to read the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort

for information on the safe and proper use of this computer. It is intended to help you be more comfortable and productive while using a notebook computer. By following the recommendations in it you may reduce your chance of developing a painful or disabling injury to your hand, arms, shoulders or neck.

This section provides basic information to start using your computer. It covers the following topics:

■ Connecting the AC adaptor

■ Opening the display

■ Turning on the power

■ Starting up for the first time

■ Turning off the power

■ Restarting the computer

■ Creating Recovery Media

■ Restoring the pre-installed software from the Recovery hard disk

drive/created Recovery Media

■ 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 the internal solid state drive or

other 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.

■ Before you install a device or application, save any data in memory to

the solid state 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 Cha pter 5, Power and Power-Up Modes.

■ Always use the TOSHIBA AC adaptor that was included with your

computer, or use AC adaptors specified by TOSHIBA to avoid any risk of fire or other damage to the computer. Use of an incompatible AC adaptor could cause fire or damage to the computer possibly resulting in serious injury. T OSHIBA 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.

■ The supplied power cord conforms to safety rules and regulations in

the region the product is bought and should not be used outside this region. For use in other regions, please buy power cords that conform to safety rules and regulations in the particular region.

■ Do not use a 3-pin to 2-pin conversion plug.

■ When you connect the AC adaptor to the computer, 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 computer or AC adaptor on a wooden surface,

furniture, or any other surface that could be marred by exposure to heat since the computer base and AC adaptor's surface increase in temperature during normal use.

■ Always place your computer or AC adaptor on a flat and hard surface

that is resistant to heat damage.

Refer to the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort for detailed precautions and handling instructions.

Heat dispersal

Operating Basics

To protect against overheating, the processor is equipped with an internal temperature sensor which activates a cooling fan or lowers the processing speed if the computer's internal temperature rises to a certain level. You are able to select whether to control this temperature by either turning on the fan first, then if necessary lowering the processor speed, or by lowering the processor speed first, then if necessary turning on the fan. Both of these functions are controlled through the Power Options.

When the processor's temperature falls within normal range, the fan will be turned off and the processor operation returned to its standard speed.

If the processor's temperature reaches an unacceptably high level with either setting, the computer automatically shuts down to prevent any damage. In this instance all unsaved data in memory will be lost.

Power and Power-Up Modes

Charging the batteries

When the power in the battery pack becomes low, the DC IN/Battery indicator will flash amber to indicate that only a few minutes of battery power remain. If you continue to use the computer while the DC IN/Battery indicator flashes, the computer will enable Hibernation Mode so that you do not lose any data, and automatically turn itself off.

You must recharge a battery pack when it becomes discharged.

Procedures

To recharge a battery pack while it is installed in the computer, connect the AC adaptor to the DC IN 19V jack and plug the other end into a working outlet - the DC IN/Battery indicator will glow amber while the battery is being charged.

Use only the computer connected to an AC power source or optional TOSHIBA Battery charger to charge the battery pack. Never attempt to charge the battery pack with any other charger.

Time

Refer to User Information Guide about Charging time.

Battery charging notice

The battery may not begin charging immediately under the following conditions:

■ The battery is extremely hot or cold (if the battery is extremely hot, it

might not charge at all). To ensure the battery charges to its full capacity, you should charge it at room temperatur e of between 5°C to 35°C (41°F to 95°F).

■ The battery is nearly completely discharged. In this instance you should

leave the AC adaptor connected for a few minutes and the battery should begin charging.

The DC IN/Battery indicator may show a rapid decrease in battery operating time when you try to charge a battery under the following conditions:

■ The battery has not been used for a long time.

■ The battery has completely discharged and been left in the computer for

a long time.

■ A cool battery is installed in a warm computer.

In such cases you should follow the steps as detailed below:

1. Fully discharge the battery by leaving it in the computer with the power on until the system automatically turns itself off.

2. Connect the AC adaptor to the DC IN 19V jack of the computer, and to a wall outlet that is supplying power.

3. Charge the battery until the DC IN/Battery indicator glows green.

Repeat these steps two or three times until the battery recovers normal capacity.

User’s Manual 5-5

Page 72

Power and Power-Up Modes

Monitoring battery capa city

Remaining battery power can be monitored using the following methods.

■ Tapping the battery icon on the Taskbar

■ Via the Battery Status in the Windows Mobility Center window

■ You should wait at least 16 seconds after turning on the computer

before trying to monitor the remaining operating time. This is because the computer needs this time to check the battery's remaining capacity and then calculate the remaining operating time, based on this together with the current power consumption.

■ Please be aware that the actual remaining operating time may differ

slightly from the calculated time.

■ With repeated discharges and recharges, the battery's capacity will

gradually decrease. In view of this it will be noted that an often used, older battery will not operate for as long as a new battery even when both are fully charged.

Maximizing battery operating time

A battery's usefulness depends on how long it can supply power on a single charge, while how long the charge lasts in a battery depends on:

■ Processor speed

■ Screen brightness

■ System Sleep Mode

■ System Hibernation Mode

■ Display power off period

■ Solid state drive power off period

■ How often and for how long you use the solid state drive and external

disk(c) drives, for example, optical disc and floppy diskette drive.

■ How much charge the battery contained to begin with.

■ How you use optional devices, such as an microSD Card, to which the

battery supplies power.

■ Whether you enable Sleep Mode, which can conserve battery power if

you are frequently turning the comput er off and on.

■ Where you store your programs and data.

■ Whether you close the display panel when you are not using it - closing

the display saves power.

■ The environmental temperature - operating time decreases at low

temperatures.

■ The condition of the battery terminals - you should always ensure the

terminals stay clean by wiping them with a clean dry cloth before installing the battery pack.

Retaining data with power off

Refer to User Information Guide about Retaining time.

Extending battery life

To maximize the life of your battery packs:

■ At least once a month, disconnect the computer from a power source

and operate it on battery power until the battery pack fully discharges. Before doing so, follow the steps as detailed below.

1. Turn off the computer's power.

2. Disconnect the AC adaptor and turn on the computer's power - if it does not turn on then go to Step 4.

3. Operate the computer on battery power for five minutes. If you find that the battery pack has at least five minutes of operating time, continue operating until the battery pack is fully discharged, however, if the DC IN/Battery indicator flashes or there is some other warning to indicate a low battery condition, go to Step 4.

4. Connect the AC adaptor to the DC IN 19V jack of the computer, and to a wall outlet that is supplying power. The DC IN/Battery indicator should glow amber to indicate that the battery pack is being charged, however, in the event that DC IN/Battery indicator does not glow this indicates that power is not being supplied - check the connections for the AC adaptor and the power cord.

5. Charge the battery pack until the DC IN/Battery indicator glows green.

■ If you have extra battery packs, rotate their use.

■ If you will not be using the system for an extended period, for example

for more than one month, remove the battery pack from the computer.

■ Store spare battery packs in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight.

Replacing the battery pack

Please be aware that the battery pack is classified as a consumable item. The operating life of the battery pack will gradually reduce through

repeated charging and discharging, and will need to be replaced when it reaches the end of its operating life. In addition to this, you might also replace a discharged battery pack with a charged spare when you are operating your computer away from an AC power source for an extended period of time.

This section explains how to remove and install the battery pack, and begins with the removal process which is detailed through the following steps.

■ Inspect all connecting cables for loose wires and all connectors for

loose pins.

Always try to make detailed notes of your observations and keep them in a permanent error log - this will help you to describe your problems to your reseller, dealer or service provider. In additio n, if a prob lem recurs, the log you have made will help to identify the problem faster.

Analyzing the problem

Sometimes the computer will give you clues that can help you identify why it is malfunctioning. In view of this you should keep the following questions in mind:

■ Which part of the computer is not operating properly - solid state drive,

display panel - as each device will produce different symptoms.

■ Check the options within the operating system to ensure that its

configuration is set properly.

■ What appears on the display? Does it display any messages or random

characters? If you have a printer attached, print a copy of the screen using the PRTSC key and, if possible, look up the messages in the documentation included with the computer, software or operating system.

■ Check that all connecting cables are correctly and firmly attached as

loose cables can cause erroneous or intermittent signals.

■ Do any indicators light, if so, which ones, what color are they and do

they stay on or blink? Write down what you see.

■ Do you hear any beeps, if so how many, are they long or short and are

they high pitched or low pitched? In addition, is the computer making any unusual noises? Write down what you hear.

Record your observations so you can describe them in detail to your reseller, dealer or service provider.

Troubleshooting

Software The problems may be caused by your software or disk. If

you cannot load a software package, the media may be damaged or the program might be corrupted - in these instances try loading another copy of the software if possible.

If an error message appears while you are using a software package you should refer to the documentation supplied with it as this will usually include a problem solving section or a summary of error messages.

Next, you should check any error messages against the operating system documentation.

Hardware If you cannot find a software problem, you should then

check the setup and configuration of your hardware. First run through the items in the preliminary checklist as described previously then, if you still cannot correct the problem, try to identify the source - the next section provides checklists for individual components and peripherals.

Before using a peripheral device or application software that is not an authorized Toshiba part or product, make sure the device or software can be used with your computer . Use of incomp atible devices may cause injury or may damage your computer.

Power

When the computer is not plugged into an AC power outlet, the battery pack is the primary power source. However, your computer also has a number of other power resources, including an intelligent power supply and a Real Time Clock (RTC) battery, all of which are interrelated with any one having the ability to produce apparent power problems.

This section provides checklists for AC power and the battery. If you cannot resolve a problem after following them, the cause may lie with another power related resource - in such an instance you should contact your reseller, dealer or service provider.

Overheating power down

If the processor's temperature reaches an unacceptably high level with either setting, the computer will automatically shut down to prevent any damage.

Troubleshooting

AC power

If you have trouble turning on the computer with the AC adaptor connected you should check the status of the DC IN/Battery indicator. Please refer to Chapter 5, Power and Power-Up Modes for further information.

Problem Procedure

AC adaptor doesn’t power the computer (DC IN/Battery indicator does not glow amber)

User’s Manual 7-4

Check the connections to make sure that the power cord/adaptor is firmly connected to the computer and a working power outlet.

Check the condition of the cord and terminals. If the cord is frayed or damaged it should be replaced, while if the terminals are soiled, they should be cleaned with a clean cotton cloth.

If the AC adaptor still does not power the computer, you should contact your reseller, dealer or service provider.

Troubleshooting

Battery

If you suspect a problem with the battery, you should check the status of the DC IN/Battery indicator. Please refer to Chapter 5, Power and Power-

Up Modes for more information on these indicators, together with general

battery operation.

Problem Procedure

Battery doesn’t power the computer

Battery doesn’t charge when the AC adaptor is attached (DC IN/Battery indicator does not glow amber).

The battery may be discharged - connect the AC adaptor to recharge the battery.

If the battery is completely discharged, it will not begin charging immediately, in these instances you should wait a few minutes before tryi ng again. If the battery still does not charge, you should check that the power outlet the AC adaptor is connected to is supplying power - this can be tested by plugging another appliance into it.

Check whether the battery is hot or cold to the touch - if so, it will not charge properly and should be allowed to reach room temperature before you try again.

Unplug the AC adaptor and remove the battery to make sure its connecting terminals are clean - if necessary wipe them with a soft dry cloth lightly dipped in alcohol.

Connect the AC adaptor and replace the battery, taking care to ensure that it is securely seated in the computer.

Check the DC IN/Battery indicator - if it does not glow, allow the computer to charge the battery for at least twenty minutes. If the DC IN/Battery indicator starts to glow after this period, allow the battery to continue to charge for at least another twenty minutes before turning on the computer. However, if the indicator still does not glow, the battery may be at the end of its operating life and should be replaced. However, if you do not believe the battery is at the end of its operating life, you should speak to your reseller, dealer or service provider.

Battery doesn’t power the computer as long as expected

If you frequently recharge a partially charged battery, the battery mig ht not charge to its full potential - in these instances you should fully discharge the battery and then attempt to charge it again.

Check the Power saver option under Select a power plan in the Power Options.

Display Controller and Video mode

Display controller

The display controller interprets software commands into hardware commands that turn particular parts on the screen on or off.

Due to the display panel's increased resolution, lines may appear broken in when displaying images in full-screen text mode.

The display controller also controls the video mode and uses industry standard rules to govern the screen resolution and the maximum number of colors that can be displayed at any one time. Therefore, software written for a given video mode will run on any computer that supports that mode.

Video mode

Video mode settings are configured via the Screen Resolution dialog. To open the Screen Resolution dialog, tap Start -> Control Panel ->

Appearance and Personalization -> Display -> Change display settings.

If you are running some applications (for example a 3D application or video playback and so on), you may see some disturbance, flickering or frame dropping on your screen.
