Wireless LAN and Your Health

Wireless LAN products, like other radio devices, emit radio frequency electromagnetic energy. The level of energy emitted by Wireless LAN devices however is far much less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices like for example mobile phones.

Because Wireless LAN products operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, Toshiba believes Wireless LAN is safe for use by consumers. These standards and recommendations reflect the consensus of the scientific community and result from deliberations of panels and committees of scientists who continually review and interpret the extensive research literature.

Page 5

In some situations or environments, the use of Wireless LAN may be restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of the organization. These situations may for example include:

❖ Using the Wireless LAN equipment on board airplanes, or ❖ In any other environment where the risk of interference to other devices or

services is perceived or identified as harmful.

If you are uncertain of the policy that applies on the use of wireless devices in a specific organization or environment (e.g. airports), you are encouraged to ask for authorization to use the Wireless LAN device prior to turning on the equipment.

Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation

The radiated output power of the Toshiba Wireless LAN Card is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the Toshiba Wireless LAN Card shall be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized. The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Specific Absorption Rate (IEEE)

Your device is designed to be in compliance with Radio Waves exposure regulations and does not exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves (radio frequency electromagnetic fields) in accordance with the Federal Trade Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry Canada (IC). A substantial safety margin is set to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of health.

A unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption rate, or SAR is utilized for the radio wave exposure guidelines. The SAR measurement for devices does not exceed 1.6W/kg.

The actual SAR values for your device, while in use, are normally well below the stated values. The operating power of your device is automatically decreased when full power is not needed for the wireless connection to increase system efficiency and to minimize interference on the network. The lower the power output of the device the lower its SAR value.

As stated by the World Health Organization, present scientific information indicates no special precautions are needed for the use of this device. To further reduce any exposure, limit your usage.

Securing your tablet

If you choose to set a password (with or without encryption), Toshiba strongly recommends that you write down your password and keep it in a safe location where you can later access it should you not remember it.

Toshiba is not responsible for any losses that may occur, as a result of the inability to access your device.

When you initially turn on or wake the tablet, the lock screen requires you to drag the Lock ( ) icon to unlock the screen, see

“Waking the tablet” on page 37. Alternatively, you can secure the

lock screen by requiring a pattern or entry of a numeric PIN or password, so only you can access your data. You may also be required to secure the lock screen by a policy set by an email account or other account you add to your tablet. For more information, see “Location and security settings” on page 67.

You can also encrypt the data on your tablet, so you must enter a numeric PIN or a password to decrypt it each time you power it on.

1 Touch the Time ( ) display in the System bar, touch

the time in the Status Details panel, and then touch the Settings ( ) icon at the bottom of the Quick Settings screen.

You can also open Settings by touching the Settings ( ) icon in the Apps screen or on a Home screen (if you placed a shortcut to it there).

Turning off the device

NOTE

It is a good idea to turn off your device when you are not using it for a while.

If you are using the device for the first time, leave the device plugged into a power source (even though the device is off) to fully charge the battery.

Options for turning off the device

You have two options available for turning off the device: Shut down and Sleep mode. Each option has its advantages.

❖ Use shut down if you will not be using the device for several

days or if you must turn off your device.

TECHNICAL NOTE: Before using the shut down option to turn off your device, backup your data and make sure all disk activity lights are off.

If you change your mind and decide to continue working after all, wait a few seconds before turning the device on again.

Getting Started

Turning off the device

If you do not intend to use your device for a long period of time, turn off the device, disconnect the power plug from the plug socket, and store your device in a dry dust-free location.

❖ Letting the screen time-out or enter into Sleep mode allows the

device to conserve power. When turning on the device again, the system automatically returns to the last screen viewed.

To change the screen time-out setting, see “Screen settings” on

page 65.

Using Shut down mode

The Shut down mode completely shuts down the device without saving your data or the current state of the device. Shut down mode closes all open apps, shuts down the operating system, and then turns off your tablet.

Always back up your data and settings before shutting down your tablet.

Page 52

NOTE

Getting Started

Turning off the device

To turn off your device using Shut down mode:

1 Press and hold the Power button.

A pop-up screen appears, asking whether you would like to

shut down.

2 In the pop-up window, touch OK to completely shut down the

tablet.

The operating system shuts down and the tablet turns off.

3 Touch Cancel to abort the shut down process.

Using Sleep mode

Your device will automatically time-out after a few minutes of non-operation, placing it into Sleep mode. The screen dims and then darkens to conserve battery power. For more information on waking the tablet from Sleep mode, see “Waking the tablet” on

page 37. To change the amount of time it takes for the display to

darken, touch the Apps ( ) icon, the Settings ( ) icon, and then the Screen ( ) icon.

Page 53

Syncing and managing your accounts

You can also place your tablet into Sleep mode by pressing the Power button quickly.

Factors to consider when choosing Sleep mode:

❖ While in Sleep mode, the device uses some battery power. ❖ Because the state of the system is stored in memory, you will

lose data if the battery discharges completely while the device is in Sleep mode.

❖ Waking your device from Sleep mode takes less time and

consumes less battery power than restarting after shutting down the device.

❖ When starting up again, the device returns to the screen last

viewed.

If you place the device in Sleep mode and the battery discharges fully, your unsaved data will be lost. Be sure to backup your data first.

If Something Goes Wrong

Some problems you may encounter when using your tablet are relatively easy to identify and solve.

This chapter aims to help you solve many problems by yourself. It covers the problems you are most likely to encounter.

If all else fails, contact Toshiba. You will find information on Toshiba’s support services at the end of this chapter.

Problems when you turn on the device

These problems may occur when you turn on the power.

The device will not start.

Make sure you attached the USB/AC adaptor and power/docking connector cord properly.

If you are using the USB/AC adaptor, check that the wall outlet is working by plugging in another device, such as a lamp.

Verify that the device is on by looking at the ON/OFF indicator. If the indicator is glowing, the device is on. Also, try turning the device off and then on.

The device starts but when you touch an icon nothing happens.

Your device may be in Sleep mode and have an application or resource conflict.

Page 99

If Something Goes Wrong

The operating system is not working

Once you are familiar with the Home screens and used to the way the operating system responds, you can easily detect if the it is not working correctly. For example:

❖ The operating system responds differently from the normal

routine

❖ Screens and apps take a long time to load ❖ The screen does not look right

Unless a hardware device has failed, problems usually occur when you change the system in some way such as installing a new app or adding an external device.

If you experience any of these problems, use the About tablet setting to check for available system updates. For more information, see “About tablet” on page 75.

Internet problems

My Internet connection is very slow.

Many factors contribute to the speed with which you can surf the Internet. They include: network speed, network conditions, time of day (when everyone else is surfing, your access can be slow) and popularity of the sites you are trying to access. If accessing a particular site is very slow, try later.

My browser cannot find the URL address I typed in.

Make sure you separated the domain names of the address with the forward slash (/). Check the spelling of each name and the syntax of the address carefully. A single incorrect letter or missed character will make it impossible for your browser to locate the site.

My browser cannot find a site I bookmarked.

The World Wide Web is constantly changing. A site you bookmarked yesterday may not be available today or its server may be down for temporary repair. Try again later.

If Something Goes Wrong

Power and the batteries

Your device receives its power through the USB/AC adaptor and power/docking connector cord or from the system battery. Power problems are interrelated. For example, a faulty USB/AC adaptor or power/docking connector cord will neither power the device nor recharge the batteries.

Here are some typical problems and how to solve them:

The Power light does not come on when you plug in the USB/AC adaptor and power/docking connector cord.

Make sure the USB/AC adaptor and power/docking connector cord are firmly plugged into both the wall outlet and the device.

If the Power light still does not come on, check that the wall outlet is working properly by plugging in a lamp or other appliance.

The USB/AC adaptor and power/docking connector cord work correctly, but the battery will not charge.

The battery does not charge while the device is consuming full power. Try turning off the device.

The battery may be too hot or too cold to charge properly. If you think this is the probable cause, let the battery reach room temperature and try again.

If the battery light does not glow after a few minutes, the battery may have reached the end of its useful life.

The device does not power on.

Let the battery discharge completely, then try charging it again. Check the power options. For more information, see “Optimizing

battery life” on page 31. Have you added a device, such as a

memory module, that takes its power from the battery? Is your software using the internal storage drive more? Is the display power set to turn off automatically? Was the battery fully charged to begin with? All these conditions affect how long the charge lasts.

If the device still does not power on, contact your service provider immediately.

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.

For more information on maintaining battery power, see “Charging

the battery” on page 30.
