CPU performance may vary from specifications under certain conditions such as the use of battery instead of AC power, certain external peripherals, certain
multimedia applications or network connections, complex modeling software and in areas with low air pressure at high altitude (1,000 metres above sea level) and/or
certain temperatures. CPU performance may also vary from specifications due to design configuration. Under some conditions, your computer may automatically
shut down as a normal protective measure. To avoid risk of lost data, please make periodic back-up copies. For optimum performance, use your computer only
under recommended conditions. Please read detailed restrictions in the product resource guide, visit the Toshiba web site: computers.toshiba-europe.com and/or
contact Toshiba Technical Support. • One GB means one billion bytes, accessible capacity may be less. • For information about upgrading your system memory
please refer to the user manual or contact your local Toshiba service provider. • Wired and wireless communication capabilities to be applied in countries where
approved. • Battery life may vary depending on applications, power management settings and features utilized. Recharge time varies depending on usage. Battery
may not charge while computer is consuming full power. After a period of time, the battery will lose its ability to perform at maximum capacity and will need to be
replaced. This is normal for all batteries. To purchase a new battery pack, see your accessories information that shipped with your computer or visit the Toshiba web
site at computers.toshiba-europe.com. • Small bright dots may appear on your TFT display when you turn on your PC. Your display contains an extremely large
number of thin-film transistors (TFT) and is manufactured using high-precision technology. Any small bright dots that may appear on your display are an intrinsic
characteristic of the TFT manufacturing technology. • Weight may vary depending on product configuration, vendor components, manufacturing variability and
options selected. • SRS®TruSurround XT™ is only available for WinDVD applications. SRS®WOW™ is only available for Windows Media Player 9 in standard

specifications corresponding to all of the icons or switches shown on the notebook chassis. • HyperMemory™ is calculated as the cumulative total of local and
system memory used by the Visual Processing Unit (VPU) intended for use in the processing and creation of 3D and other images. The amount of HyperMemory™
available is determined by the amount of local graphics memory and installed system memory.
