User’s Manual xiv

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

an electric 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.

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.

To 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.

User’s Manual xv

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. It also includes information on work space design, posture and lighting that can help reduce physical stress.

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.

Pressure or impact damage

Do not apply heavy pressure to the computer or subject it to any form of strong impact as this can damage the computer's components or otherwise cause it to malfunction.

Mobile phones

Please be aware that the use of mobile phones can interfere with the audio system. The operation of the computer will not be impaired in any way, but it is recommended that a minimum distance of 30cm is maintained between the computer and a mobile phone that is in use.

Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort

All important information on the safe and proper use of this computer is described in the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort. Be sure to read it before using the computer.

TOSHIBA Portable Personal Computer User's Manual (This manual)

* You may not have all the softwares listed above depending on the model you purchased.

Getting Started

■ All users should be sure to read the section Starting up for 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

■ 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 hard disk 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.

User’s Manual 1-2

■ 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 automatically adjust to any voltage ranging from 100 to 240 volts and to a frequency of either 50 or 60 hertz, enabling you to use this computer in almost all country/region. The adaptor converts AC power to DC power and reduces the voltage supplied to this computer.

■ 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. 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.

■ 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.

■ Never turn off the power, disconnect an external storage device or

remove storage media during data read/write. Doing so can cause data loss.

3. Click Start.

4. Click the Shut down button ( ).

5. Turn off any peripheral devices connected to your computer.

Do not turn the computer or peripheral devices back on immediately - wait a short period to avoid any potential damage.

Sleep Mode

If you have to interrupt your work, you are able to turn off the power without exiting from your software by placing the computer into Sleep Mode. In this mode data is maintained in the computer's main memory so that when you turn on the power again, you can continue working right where you left off.

When you have to turn off your computer aboard an aircraft or in places where electronic devices are regulated or controlled, always completely shut down the computer. This includes turning off any wireless communication functionalities, and cancelling settings that reactivate the computer automatically, such as a timer recording function. Failure to completely shut down the computer in this way could allow the operating system to reactivate and run pre-programmed tasks or preserve unsaved data, which could interfere with aviation or other systems, possibly causing serious injury.

■ Before entering Sleep Mode, be sure to save your data.

■ Do not install or remove a memory module while the computer is in

Sleep Mode. The computer or the memory module could be damaged.

■ Do not remove the battery pack while the computer is in Sleep Mode

(unless the computer is connected to an AC power source). Data in memory could be lost.

■ When the AC adaptor is connected, the computer will go into Sleep

Mode according to the settings in the Power Options (to access it, Start

-> Control Panel -> System and Security -> Power Options).

■ To restore the operation of the computer from Sleep Mode, press and

hold the power button or any key on the keyboard for a short amount of time. Please note that keyboard keys can only be used if the Wake-up on Keyboard option is enabled within the HW Setup utility.

■ If the computer enters Sleep Mode while a network application is active,

the application might not be restored when the computer is next turned on and the system returns from Sleep Mode.

User’s Manual 1-8

■ To prevent the computer from automatically entering Sleep Mode,

disable Sleep Mode within the Power Options (to access it, Start -> Control Panel -> System and Security -> Power Options).

■ To use the Hybrid Sleep function, configure it in the Power Options.

Benefits of Sleep Mode

The Sleep Mode feature provides the following benefits:

■ Restores the previous working environment more rapidly than does the

Hibernation Mode feature.

■ Saves power by shutting down the system when the computer receives

no input or hardware access for the time period set by the System Sleep Mode feature.

■ Allows the use of the panel power off feature.

Executing Sleep Mode

You can also enable Sleep Mode by pressing FN + F3 - please refer to the

Hot key functions section in Chapter 3, Operating Basics, for further details.

You can enter Sleep Mode in one of three ways:

Sleep from the menu.

■ Close the display panel. Please note that this feature must be enabled

within the Power Options (to access it, click Start -> Control Panel -> System and Security -> Power Options).

■ Press the power button. Please note that this feature must be enabled

within the Power Options (to access it, click Start -> Control Panel -> System and Security -> Power Options).

When you turn the power back on, you can continue where you left when you shut down the computer.

■ When the computer is in Sleep Mode, the power indicator will blink

amber.

■ If you are operating the computer on battery power, you can lengthen

the overall operating time by turning it off into Hibernation Mode - Sleep Mode will consume more power while the computer is off.

Sleep Mode limitations

Sleep Mode will not function under the following conditions:

■ Power is turned back on immediately after shutting down.

■ Memory circuits are exposed to static electricity or electrical noise.

Hibernation Mode

The Hibernation Mode feature saves the contents of memory to the hard disk drive when the computer is turned off so that, the next time it is turned

User’s Manual 1-9

on, the previous state is restored. Please note that the Hibernation Mode feature does not save the status of any peripheral devices connected to the computer.

■ Save your data. While entering Hibernation Mode, the computer saves

the contents of memory to the hard disk drive. However, for safety sake, it is best to save your data manually.

■ Data will be lost if you remove the battery or disconnect the AC adaptor

before the save is completed. Wait for the Hard Disk Drive/Optical Disc Drive indicator to go out.

■ Do not install or remove a memory module while the computer is in

Hibernation Mode. Data will be lost.

Benefits of Hibernation Mode

The Hibernation Mode feature provides the following benefits:

■ Saves data to the hard disk drive when the computer automatically

shuts down because of a low battery condition.

■ You can return to your previous working environment immediately when

you turn on the computer.

■ Saves power by shutting down the system when the computer receives

no input or hardware access for the time period set by the System Hibernate feature.

■ Allows the use of the panel power off feature.

User’s Manual 3-1

The Keyboard

The computer’s keyboard layouts are compatible with a 104/105-key enhanced keyboard - by pressing some keys in combination, all of the 104/105-key enhanced keyboard functions can be performed on the computer.

The number of keys available on your keyboard will depend on which country/region your computer is configured for, with keyboards being available for numerous languages.

In use there are five different types of keys, specifically typewriter keys, function keys, soft keys, Hot keys and Windows special keys.

Keyboard indicators

The following figures show the positions of the CAPS LOCK indicator and the NUM LOCK indicator which show the following conditions:

■ When the CAPS LOCK indicator glows, the keyboard will produce

capitals when any letter is typed.

■ When the NUM LOCK indicator glows, the ten key allows you to enter

numbers.

1. CAPS LOCK indicator 2. NUM LOCK indicator

CAPS LOCK This indicator glows green when letter keys are

locked into their uppercase format.

NUM LOCK When the NUM LOCK indicator glows, you can

use the number keys on the keyboard for number entry.

Function keys: F1 … F9

The function keys (not to be confused with the special FN key) are the nine keys at the top of your keyboard - these keys function differently from other keys.

User’s Manual 3-2

F1 through F9 are called function keys because they execute programmed functions when pressed and, when used in combination with the FN key, those keys marked with icons also execute specific functions on the computer.

Soft keys: FN key combinations

The FN (function) is used in combination with other keys to form soft keys. Soft keys are key combinations that enable, disable or configure specific features.

Please note that some software may disable or interfere with soft-key operations, and that the soft-key settings are not restored when the computer returns from Sleep Mode.

This computer's keyboard is designed to provide all the features of the 104key enhanced keyboard.

Since the keyboard is smaller and has fewer keys, some of the enhanced keyboard functions must be simulated using two keys instead of one on the larger keyboard.

The FN key can be combined with the following keys to simulate functions similar to those of keys on the 104/105 key enhanced keyboard which are not on this computer's keyboard.

Hot key functions

Hot key functions let you enable or disable certain features of the computer. The Hot key functions can be performed using either the Hot Key Cards or by pressing the associated Hot keys (pressing FN + a function or ESC key).

Hot Key Cards

The Hot Key Cards are normally hidden from view. The Cards appear when you press the FN key.

To use the Hot Key Cards:

1. Press and hold the FN key. The TOSHIBA Flash Cards appear along the top of the screen.

2. Select the desired option The selected Card is displayed full-size with its available options below

it. All other Cards are again hidden from view.

3. Click the desired option.

To use a Hot Key Card using a hot key:

1. Press and hold the FN key.

It is possible that, if data is written while powered by the battery pack, the write process may sometimes fail due to low battery power - in these instances data loss may occur.

Important message

Before you write or rewrite to any of the media supported by the DVD Super Multi Drive or BD-Combo/BD-Writer drive, please read and follow all of the setup and operating instructions in this section. If you fail to do so, you may find that the DVD Super Multi drive or BD-Combo/BD-Writer drive may not function properly, and you may fail to write or rewrite information successfully - this may cause you to either lose data or incur other damage to the drive or media.

Disclaimer

TOSHIBA does not bear responsibility for the following:

■ Damage to any disc that may be caused by writing or rewriting with this

product.

■ Any change or loss of the recorded contents of media that may be

caused by writing or rewriting with this product, or for any business profit loss or business interruption that may be caused by the change or loss of the recorded contents.

■ Damage that may be caused by using third party equipment or
