Handling of the battery pack
■ Never attempt to dispose of a battery pack by burning or by throwing it into a fire, and never allow exposure to
a heating apparatus (e.g., microwave oven).
■ Never attempt to disassemble, tamper with or repair a battery pack.
■ Never short-circuit the battery pack by either accidentally or intentionally bringing the battery terminals in
contact with another conductive object.
■ Never drive a nail or any other sharp object into the battery pack, hit battery pack with a hammer or other
object or step on it.
■ Never charge the battery pack by a method other than as instructed in the User's Manual.
■ Never connect the battery pack to a plug socket or a car cigarette plug socket.
■ Never allow a battery pack to become wet. A wet battery pack will overheat or ignite causing rupture or fire,
possibly resulting in death or serious injury.
■ Never store a battery pack in an area of high humidity.
■ Never expose a battery pack to abnormal shock, vibration or pressure.
Failure to observe the foregoing could result in serious injury.
Use of correct battery pack
Always use the battery pack supplied as an accessory or an equivalent battery pack specified in the User's Manual.
Other battery packs have different voltage and terminal polarities. Use of non-conforming battery packs could
generate smoke or cause fire or rupture, possibly resulting in serious injury.
Battery safety
Never allow caustic electrolyte fluid leaked from the battery pack to contact your eyes, body or clothing.
Immediately wash with large amounts of running water and obtain prompt medical attention.
Battery pack warning indicators
Always immediately turn the power off and disconnect the power cable/cord plug from the plug socket and stop
using the battery pack if you observe any of the following conditions:
1
■ Offensive or unusual odor
■ Excessive heat
■ Discoloration
■ Deformation, cracks or leaks
■ Smoke
■ Other unusual event during use, such as abnormal sound
Do not turn on your product's power again until an authorized Toshiba service provider has checked it for safety.
Continued use could cause a fire or rupture possibly resulting in serious injury or product failure including but not
limited to the loss of data.
Disposal of used battery packs
Always dispose of used battery packs in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
Indications of damage if your product is dropped
If your product is dropped, and emits smoke, unusual odor or excessive heat, immediately unplug the AC adaptor
(if connected) and shut off your product.
Do not turn on your product's power again until an authorized Toshiba service provider has checked it for safety.
Continuing to use your product could cause a fire or battery rupture possibly resulting in serious injury. It could also
cause a product failure including but not limited to the loss of data.
Do not disassemble, modify, tamper with or repair your product
Do not attempt to disassemble, modify, tamper with or repair product (including AC adaptor). Disassembly, modification, tampering or repairing your product could cause fire or electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.
Please contact an authorized Toshiba service provider for any repair service.
Handling the AC adaptor and power cables/cords or plugs
When handling the power cable/cord, follow these precautions:
■ Never tamper with the power cable/cord or plug.
■ Never cover the AC adaptor with any object.
■ Never attempt to disassemble or repair an AC adaptor.
Doing any of the above may damage the cables, and/or result in a fire or electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.
Attaching the power cable/cord
■ Always confirm that the power plug (and extension cable plug if used) has been fully inserted into the socket,
to ensure a secure electrical connection. Failure to do so may result in a fire or electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.
■ Be careful if you use a multiple connector. An overload on one socket could cause a fire or electric shock, pos-
sibly resulting in serious injury.
■ The socket outlet must be near to your product and easily accessible.
Disconnecting electrical power
To disconnect electrical power to your product, remove the power cord/cable from the electrical outlet.
Dust on the power plug connectors or connector base
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 your product without cleaning
the power plug may result in a fire or an electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.
Only use TOSHIBA AC adaptor
Always use the TOSHIBA AC adaptor that was provided with your product. Use of an incompatible AC adaptor
could cause fire or damage to your product possibly resulting in serious injury. TOSHIBA assumes no liability for
any damage caused by use of an incompatible adaptor.
Use correct power source
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.
Only use approved power cables/cords
Always use or purchase power cables/cords 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.
