and/or connector base with a dry cloth. Continuing to use the product
without cleaning the power plug may result in a fire or an electric shock,
possibly resulting in serious injury.
■ Always use the TOSHIBA AC adaptor that was provided with your
product, or use AC adaptors specified by TOSHIBA to avoid any risk of
fire or other damage to the product. Use of an incompatible AC adaptor
could cause fire or damage to the product possibly resulting in serious
injury. TOSHIBA assumes no liability for any damage caused by use of
an incompatible adaptor or charger.

electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.
■ Never attempt to connect or disconnect a power plug with wet hands.
Failure to follow this instruction could result in an electric shock,
possibly resulting in serious injury.
■ Never leave small parts such as covers, caps and screws within the
reach of infants or small children. Swallowing a small part may cause
choking and suffocation resulting in death or serious injury. If a part is
swallowed, immediately take appropriate emergency action and consult
a doctor.
■ Never allow any liquids to spill into any part of your product, and never
expose the product to rain, water, seawater or moisture. Exposure to

or any other surface that could be marred by exposure to heat since the
product base and AC adaptor’s surface increase in temperature during
normal use.
■ Always place your product or AC adaptor on a flat and hard surface that
is resistant to heat damage.
■ Never place your product where it will be exposed to excess heat, such
as in direct sunlight, an unventilated vehicle or near a heater. This may
result in a system failure, malfunction, loss of data or damage to the
product.

Chapter 1
Getting Started & Grand Tour
This chapter provides an equipment checklist, grand tour of your tablet and
basic information to start using your tablet.
Getting Started
■ All users should be sure to read the section Initial Setup.
This section provides basic information to start using your tablet. It covers
the following topics:
■ Connecting the AC adaptor
■ Turning on the power
■ Initial Setup
■ Turning off the power
TOSHIBA AT100
■ 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 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 1-1
Connecting the AC adaptor
The AC adaptor can automatically adjust to any voltage ranging from 100 to
240 volt and to a frequency of either 50 or 60 hertz. The adaptor converts
AC power to DC power and reduces the voltage supplied to your tablet.
(Sample Illustration) The AC adaptor (2-pin plug)
TOSHIBA AT100
(Sample Illustration) 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 tablet.
■ 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 tablet is bought and should not be used outside of this
region. In order to use the adaptor/tablet in other regions, you should
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 1-2
TOSHIBA AT100
■ Always use the TOSHIBA AC adaptor that was included with your
tablet, or use AC adaptors specified by TOSHIBA to avoid any risk of
fire or other damage to the tablet. Use of an incompatible AC adaptor
could cause fire or damage to the tablet possibly resulting in serious
injury. T OSHIBA assumes no liability for any damage caused by use of
an incompatible adaptor.

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.
■ Do not use a 3-pin to 2-pin conversion plug.
■ When you connect the AC adaptor to the tablet, 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 tablet or AC adaptor on a wooden surface, furniture,
or any other surface that could be marred by exposure to heat since
the tablet base and AC adaptor’s surface increase in temperature
during normal use.
■ Always place your tablet or AC adaptor on a flat and hard surface that
is resistant to heat damage.
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
