Preface

Congratulations on your purchase of the TOSHIBA AC100 device. This manual tells how to set up and begin using the TOSHIBA AC100

device. It also provides detailed information on configuring your device, basic operations and care, using optional devices and troubleshooting.

Conventions

This manual uses the following formats to describe, identify, and highlight terms and operating procedures.

Abbreviations

On first appearance, and whenever necessary for clarity, abbreviations are enclosed in parentheses following their definition. For example: Read Only Memory (ROM). Acronyms are also defined in the Glossary.

Icons

Icons identify ports, dials, and other parts of your device. The indicator panel also uses icons to identify the components it is providing information on.

User’s Manual xiii

General Precautions

The TOSHIBA AC100 device is 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 device.

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 device 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 device is in Suspend Mode). In this condition, observe the following:

■ Never cover your device or AC adaptor with any object.

■ Never place your device or AC adaptor near a heat source, such as

an electric blanket or heater.

■ Always operate your device on a hard flat surface. Using your

device on a carpet or other soft material can block the vents.

■ Always provide sufficient space around the device.

■ Overheating your device or AC adaptor could cause system failure,

device or AC adaptor damage or a fire, possibly resulting in serious injury.

User’s Manual xiv

Creating a friendly environment

Place the device on a flat surface that is large enough for the device and any other items you are using.

Leave enough space around the device and other equipment to provide adequate ventilation. Otherwise, they may overheat.

To keep your device 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 device) 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. Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort also includes information on work space design, posture and lighting that can help reduce physical stress.

TOSHIBA AC100

Heat injury

■ Avoid prolonged physical contact with the device. If the device 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 device for a long time, for example if you rest the device on your lap or if you keep your hands on the palm rest, your skin might suffer a low-heat injury.

■ If the device 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

Getting Started

■ All users should be sure to read the section Initial Setup.

■ Be sure to read the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and

Comfort for information on the safe and proper use of this device. It is intended to help you be more comfortable and productive while using this device. 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 device. It covers the following topics:

■ Connecting the AC adaptor

■ Opening the display

■ Turning on the power

■ Initial Setup

■ Device options menu

■ Turning off the power

■ Use a virus-check program and make sure it is updated regularly.

media. General storage media is not durable or stable over long periods of time and under certain conditions may result in data loss.

Getting Started & Grand Tour

Connecting the AC adaptor

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 device in almost all country/region. The adaptor converts AC power to DC power and reduces the voltage supplied to this device.

Figure 1-1 The AC adaptor (2-pin plug)

User’s Manual 1-2

Getting Started & Grand Tour

Figure 1-2 The AC adaptor (3-pin plug)

■ Depending on the model, either a 2-pin or 3-pin adaptor/power lead will

be bundled with the device.

■ Do not use a 3-pin to 2-pin conversion plug.

■ The supplied power cord conforms to safety rules and regulations in

the region the product is bought and should not be used outside of this region. In order to use the adaptor/device in other regions, you should please buy a power cord that conforms to the safety rules and regulations in that particular region.

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.

User’s Manual 1-3

Getting Started & Grand Tour

■ Always use the TOSHIBA AC adaptor that was included with your

TOSHIBA AC100 device, or use AC adaptors specified by TOSHIBA to avoid any risk of fire or other damage to the device. Use of an incompatible AC adaptor could cause fire or damage to the device 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 device, 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 device or AC adaptor on a wooden surface, furniture,

or any other surface that could be marred by exposure to heat since the device base and AC adaptor's surface increase in temperature during normal use.

■ Always place your device 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.

1. Connect the power cord to the AC adaptor.

2. Connect the AC adaptor’s DC output plug to the DC IN 19V jack on the right side of the device.

3. Plug the power cord into a live wall outlet - the Battery and DC IN indicators on the front of the device should glow.
