radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Only peripherals complying with the FCC class B limits may be attached to
this equipment. Operation with non-compliant peripherals or peripherals not
recommended by TOSHIBA is likely to result in interference to radio and
TV reception. Shielded cables must be used between the external devices
and the device’s Universal Serial Bus (USB 2.0) ports and microphone/
headphone combo jack. Changes or modifications made to this equipment,
not expressly approved by TOSHIBA or parties authorized by TOSHIBA
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Connecting the AC adaptor
When battery power becomes low, you must charge it.
Use only the tablet connected to an AC power source to charge the battery.
Never attempt to charge the battery with any other charger.
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, enabling you to use
this product in almost any country/region. The adaptor converts AC power
to DC power and reduces the voltage supplied to this tablet.
Figure 3-2 AC adaptor & USB cable
User's Manual
1. AC adaptor 2. USB cable
Depending on the model, either a 2-pin or 3-pin AC adaptor will be
bundled with the tablet.
The supplied USB cable conforms to safety rules and is designed to
provide adequate and steady power supply to the tablet. Please make
sure to use the supplied USB cable when you charge the tablet or
purchase an optional USB cable from TOSHIBA website.
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 will need to be charged before you can operate from battery
power.

Always use the TOSHIBA AC adaptor that was included with your
2-pin
3-pin
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. 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.
When you connect the AC adaptor to the tablet, always follow the
steps in the exact order as described below. Connecting the plug to a
live electrical outlet should be the last step otherwise the USB
connector 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.
