General Precautions
Toshiba computers are designed to optimise safety, minimise 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.
Stress injury
Carefully read the Safety Instruction Manual. It contains information on
prevention of stress injuries to your hands and wrists than can be caused
by extensive keyboard use. The User's Guide also includes information on
workspace design; posture and lighting that can help reduce physical
stress.
Heat Warning
The base of the PC can become very warm; while the temperature will not
be too hot to touch, prolonged physical contact may result in a temporary
heat imprint on the skin. It is recommended that prolonged physical
contact be avoided.
Also, 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.
Mobile phones
Use of mobile phones can interfere with the PC sound system. The PC
operation is not impaired but it is recommended that a distance of 30cm be
maintained between the PC & the mobile phone.
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 component
or otherwise cause malfunctions.
PC card overheating
Some PC cards can become hot with prolonged use. If two cards are
installed, both can become hot even if only one is used extensively.
Overheating of a PC card can result in errors or instability in the PC card
operation. Also, be careful when you remove a PC card that has been
used for a long time.

Preparing the computer
While using your computer, you are able to work more comfortably by
adjusting the lighting, the height of your desk and chair, the angle of the
screen etc. The creation of the right work environment decreases physical
fatigue and also helps a little to prolong the life of the computer.
In this section you can find information on how to protect your health and
safety and create an environment where you can use your computer
comfortably.
Using the computer comfortably
Please follow the instructions above when you setup or use your computer.
Setup environment
Please, do not keep it in places where water or other liquids can be spilled
on it and do not expose it to direct sunlight.
Do not place it on unsteady or sloping surfaces, or other unsafe places.
The computer could fall and become damaged.
Please do not place it near devices like speakers that generate a strong
magnetic field. This could result in a loss of data.
Use in an environment with temperatures of 5 ∼ 35°C and humidity
of 20 ∼ 80%.
Do not use in an environment where it is subject to sudden changes in
temperature or humidity.
Do not place it near a heater or other devices that radiate heat.
Do not place it near corrosive chemicals.
Operation environment
Place the computer on a flat surface with the right height and distance.
To avoid eye fatigue, the display should be lower than eye level.
Sit straight in front of the computer, choose an appropriate place to
operate the computer and peripheral devices.
The display angle is easy to adjust, so make sure there is a certain amount
of space behind the computer.
Please adjust the display angle in order to achieve a bright and broad view.
Because of the heat radiation from the computer, please make sure that
there is a sufficient amount of space around it.

Treatment methods
Please follow the instructions below when handling the power cord or the
AC adaptor.
Never connect the plug of the power cord with an outlet other than a 230V
wall socket. This could result in smoke or fire.
Do not use if the power cable or power plug are damaged, broken, or
altered.
This could result in an electric shock, fire or scalding. Please, only use the
AC adaptor that is supplied with this computer.
The use of an AC adaptor other than the one that comes with your
computer could result in smoke or fire.
Please do not bend, stretch or twist unreasonably and do not put heavy
objects on top of it. This could result in a short circuit, or fire or electric
shock due to the snapping of a wire.
When you disconnect the power cord from the outlet, make sure you hold
the plug part while pulling. The power cord can be damaged if it is pulled
which could lead to fire and electric shock. Please do not touch the power
cord with wet hands. This could result in an electric shock.
Please disconnect the power cord from the electric outlet when the AC
adaptor is not connected to the computer.
The AC adaptor and the battery become warm when the AC adaptor is
connected, this is normal.

Charging the battery
Operating on battery power
There is a battery pack installed in the computer. After charging the
battery, the computer can be operated on battery power (without having
the AC adaptor connected).
For operating on battery power, connect the AC adaptor and charge the
battery completely (fully charged). Or install an already completely charged
battery pack.
You can also operate on battery power when the battery is not completely
(fully charged), however your operating time will be shorter.
Methods of charging the battery and the time it takes until the battery is
fully charged are explained below.
Charging methods
1. Connect the AC adaptor to the computer and plug the power cord into
an outlet.
The charging process starts when the battery status light is blinking.
When the AC adaptor is connected to the computer the battery will be
charged until it is full, no matter if the power is on or off.
2. Supply power until the battery status light stops blinking
The battery status light is blinking while the battery is charged.
3. If the AC power light goes off, power is no longer supplied. Please
check the connection of the AC adaptor and the power cord.
Charging time
The standard charging time is shown in the following table.
Status
Power ONAbout 3.5 hours
Power OFFAbout 2.5 hours
If the ambient temperature is low and peripheral devices are installed, the
User's ManualBefore you turn on the computer 1-13
charging process could take longer than indicated above.
If you notice a strange smell, abnormal heat radiation, a change in colour
or shape, or any other abnormalities during the use, charging or storage of
the battery, immediately remove it from the computer.
Please charge the battery at the appropriate ambient temperature
(5° ∼ 35° C). If you do not charge it at the right ambient temperature, a
leakage could occur, heat can develop and it may affect the functionality
and life of the battery adversely.
Please protect the battery pack from water and seawater and do not let it
get wet. This could lead to heat generation and rust.
If you notice rust, a strange smell, abnormal heat radiation, or any other
abnormalities when you use a battery pack for the first time after you
purchased it, please stop using it.
Please ask the dealer were you purchased it or Toshiba for an inspection.
