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.

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 Wireless LAN is far below the

FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the Wireless LAN 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 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.

Precautions

Your device is designed to provide optimum safety and ease of use, and to withstand the rigors of travel. You should observe certain precautions to further reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the device.

Keep this device away from small children. This device is not a toy and may be hazardous to small children, for example, small detachable parts may be a choking hazard. Improper use of device could result in loud volume emitting from the device possibly causing hearing damage, and improper use and handling of batteries could result in possible injury.

Never place a heavy object on the device and be careful not to drop a heavy object onto the device. It could damage the device or cause system failure.

❖ Turning off the device while it is reading from or writing

to flash media may damage the flash media.

❖ Keep the device and disks away from objects that

generate strong magnetic fields, such as large stereo speakers.

❖ Scan all new files for viruses.

This precaution is especially important for files you receive via email or download from the Internet. Occasionally, even new programs you buy from a supplier may contain a virus. You need a special program to check for viruses.

File management tips

❖ Back up your files to external media on a regular basis.

Label the backup copies clearly and store them in a safe place.

As you work with data it exists in the device’s memory. This memory is called “volatile memory” because it is only active while the device is turned on. When you turn off the device, all the data remaining in volatile memory is lost. To help avoid data loss, save your work to Internal Storage or network storage. Your work (data) will remain in internal storage to be called up when you need it. As long as the internal storage remains healthy, your data is relatively safe. However on occasion, hardware failures do happen. If you experience a hardware failure, your data could be lost. As an extra step to help avoid data loss, back up your data. See “Backing up your

data” on page 33 for more information.

❖ Scan all new files for viruses.

This precaution is especially important for files you receive via external media, email, or download from the Internet.

Turning off the device

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.

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

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.

Chapter 6

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 the USB cable is connected to the USB port of a powered ON computer or an optional compatible USB/AC adaptor.

Make sure you attached the optional compatible USB/AC adaptor and power cord correctly.

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

Try turning the device ON.

If Something Goes Wrong

The operating system is not working

If the device still does not power on, contact Toshiba immediately.

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

Your device may have an application or resource conflict. Try shutting down and restarting.

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.

Most issues are solved by “recycling the system’ turning it off then back on. If this does not resolve the issue, try uninstalling the most recently installed application or disconnecting the most recently installed accessory. If this still does not resolve the issue, use the About tablet setting to check for available system updates. For more information, see “About tablet” on page 72.

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.

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.

If Something Goes Wrong

Power and the batteries

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.

Power and the batteries

Your device receives its power through the included USB power cable (connected to a power source) or from the system battery. Power problems are interrelated. For example, a faulty USB/AC adaptor or USB/power cable will neither power the device nor recharge the batteries.

Here are some typical problems and how to solve them:

The optional compatible USB/AC adaptor and USB/power cable 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.

Let the battery discharge completely, then try charging it again.

Check the power options. For more information, see

“Optimizing battery life” on page 29. 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.

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 27.

Display problems

Here are some typical display problems and their solutions:

The screen does not look correct.

You can change the display settings by touching the

Settings ( ) icon on the Home screen. For more

information, see “Display settings” on page 61.

If Something Goes Wrong

Sound system problems

The screen does not appear as bright as it used to be

Over a period of time, and depending on the usage of the device, the brightness of the screen will deteriorate. This is also an intrinsic characteristic of the screen technology. When the device is operated on battery power, the screen will dim and you may not be able to increase the brightness of the screen while on battery power.

Sound system problems

The sound settings can be configured to your desired user preferences. For more information, see “Sound settings” on

page 60.

No sound is coming from the device’s speaker(s).

Adjust the volume control. If you are using external headphones, speakers, or a

headset, check that they are securely connected to your device.

Wireless networking problems

NOTE

❖ Your device is equipped with an internal Wi-Fi

❖ Verify that your device can detect access points or

If you need further assistance

❖ Verify that the Service Set Identifier (SSID), or network

name, is correct to the access point you are attempting to connect through. SSIDs are case-sensitive.

❖ If you have enabled any security provisions (closed

system, MAC address filtering, Wired Equivalent Privacy [WEP], etc.), check the access point vendor's Web site for recent firmware upgrades. Problems with WEP keys, in particular, are frequently addressed in new firmware releases.

If you need further assistance

If you have followed the recommendations in this chapter and are still having problems, you may need additional technical assistance. This section contains the steps to take to ask for help.

Before you contact Toshiba

Since some problems may be related to the operating system or the program you are using, it is important to investigate other sources of assistance first.

Try the following before you contact Toshiba:

❖ Review the troubleshooting information. ❖ If the problem occurs while you are running a program,

consult the program’s documentation for troubleshooting suggestions. Contact the software company’s technical support group for their assistance.

❖ Consult the dealer from whom you purchased your

device and/or program. Your dealer is your best source for current information.
