Safety instructions

Use the following safety guidelines to help to protect yourself and your
computer.

User’s Manual iii

When using your computer

Do not operate your portable computer for an extended period of time with
the base resting directly on your body. With extended operation, heat can
potentially build up in the base. Allowing sustained contact with the skin
could cause discomfort or, eventually, a burn.

■ Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Always follow

installation instructions closely.

■ Do not carry a battery in your pocket, purse, or other container where

metal objects (such as car keys) could short-circuit the battery
terminals. The resulting excessive current follow can cause extremely
high temperatures and may result in damage from burns.

■ Be sure that nothing rests on your AC adaptor’s power cable and that

the cable is not located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.

■ Place the AC adaptor in a ventilated area, such as a desk top or on the

floor, when you use it to run the computer or to charge the battery. Do
not cover the AC adaptor with papers or other items that will reduce
cooling; also, do not use the AC adaptor while it is inside a carrying
case.

■ Use only the AC adaptor and batteries that are approved for use with

this computer. Use of another type of battery or AC adaptor may risk fire
or explosion.

■ Before you connect the computer to a power source, ensure that the

voltage rating of the AC adaptor matches that of the available power
source. 115 V/60 Hz in most of North and South America and some Far
Eastern countries such as Taiwan. 100 V/50 Hz in eastern Japan and
100 V/60 Hz in western Japan. 230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the
Middle East, and the Far East.

■ If you use an extension cable with your AC adaptor, ensure that the total

ampere rating of the products plugged in to the extension cable does
not exceed the ampere rating of the extension cable.

■ To remove power from the computer, turn it off, remove the battery, and

disconnect the AC adaptor from the electrical outlet.

■ To help avoid the potential hazard of electric shock, do not connect or

disconnect any cables or perform maintenance or reconfiguration of this
product during an electrical storm.

■ When setting up the computer for work, place it on a level surface.

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 settings while the
modem is attached to the Australian PSTN would result in your 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%T E=1
ATS133=1
AT&F
AT&W
AT%T E=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, with the
Telecoms Act 1991 prescribing a penalty of $12,000 for the connection of
non-permitted equipment.

User’s Manual x

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 Telecom.

■ 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 - for example, 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.

■ 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, and;

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 (1800Hz guard tone)
AT&P1 (decadic dialing make-break ratio =33%/67%)
ATS0=0 (disable auto answer)
ATS6=4 (blind dial delay)
ATS7=Less than 90 (time to wait for carrier after dialing)
ATS10=Less than 150 (loss of carrier to hangup delay - the factory
default of 15 is recommended)
ATS11=90 (DTMF dialing on/off duration in milliseconds)
ATX2 (dial tone detect, but not USA call progress detect)

User’s Manual xi

■ When used in Auto Answer mode, the S0 register must be set with to a

value of either 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.

■ 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 INCUR A CHARGE FROM TELECOM

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.

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.

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.

User’s Manual xxviii

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.

ExpressCard overheating

General Precautions

Some ExpressCards can become hot during prolonged use which may
result in errors or instability in the operation of the device in question. In
addition, you should also be careful when you remove an ExpressCard that
has been used for a long time.

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.
