General Precautions
TOSHIBA computers are designed to optimize safety, minimize strain andwithstand the rigors of portability. However, certain precautions should beobserved to further reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to thecomputer.
Be certain to read the general precautions below and to note the cautions
User's Manual1-15
included in the text of the manual.
Provide adequate ventilation
Always make sure your computer and AC adaptor have adequateventilation and are protected from overheating when the power is turned onor when an AC adaptor is connected to a power outlet (even if yourcomputer is in Sleep Mode). In this condition, observe the following:
Never cover your computer or AC adaptor with any object.Never place your computer or AC adaptor near a heat source, such as
an electric blanket or heater.Never cover or block the air vents including those located at the base
of the computer.Always operate your computer on a hard flat surface. Using your
computer on a carpet or other soft material can block the vents.Always provide sufficient space around the computer.
Overheating your computer or AC adaptor could cause system failure,computer or AC adaptor damage or a fire, possibly resulting in seriousinjury.
Creating a computer-friendly environment
Place the computer on a flat surface that is large enough for the computerand any other items you are using, such as a printer.
Leave enough space around the computer and other equipment to provideadequate ventilation. Otherwise, they may overheat.
To keep your computer in prime operating condition, protect your work areafrom:
Dust, moisture, and direct sunlight.Equipment that generates a strong electromagnetic field, such as
stereo speakers (other than speakers that are connected to thecomputer) or speakerphones.
Rapid changes in temperature or humidity and sources of temperaturechange 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 containsinformation on the prevention of stress injuries to your hands and wriststhat can be caused by extensive keyboard use. It also includes informationon work space design, posture and lighting that can help reduce physicalstress.
User's Manual1-16
Heat injury
Avoid prolonged physical contact with the computer. If the computer isused for long periods, its surface can become very warm. While thetemperature will not feel hot to the touch, if you maintain physicalcontact with the computer for a long time, for example if you rest thecomputer on your lap or if you keep your hands on the palm rest, yourskin might suffer a low-heat injury.
If the computer has been used for a long time, avoid direct contactwith the metal plate supporting the various interface ports as this canbecome hot.
The surface of the AC adaptor can become hot when in use but thiscondition does not indicate a malfunction. If you need to transport theAC 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 thematerial could become damaged.
Pressure or impact damage
Do not apply heavy pressure to the computer or subject it to any form ofstrong impact as this can damage the computer's components or otherwisecause it to malfunction.
Cleaning the computer
To help ensure long, trouble-free operation, keep the computer free of dustand dirt, and use care with all liquids around it.
Be careful not to spill liquids into the computer. If the computer doesget wet, turn the power off immediately and let the computer drycompletely - in these circumstance you should get the computerinspected by an authorized service provider in order to assess thescope of any damage.
Clean the plastics of the computer using a slightly water dampenedcloth.
You can clean the display screen by spraying a small amount of glasscleaner onto a soft, clean cloth and then wiping the screen gently withthe cloth.
Never spray cleaner directly onto the computer or let liquid run into any partof it. Never use harsh or caustic chemical products to clean the computer.
Moving the computer
While the computer is designed for flexible day-to-day usage you shouldexercise a few simple precautions when moving it in order to help ensuretrouble-free operation.

Use a virus-check program and make sure it is updated regularly.
Never format storage media without checking its content - formattingdestroys all stored data.
It is a good idea to periodically back up the internal Hard Disk Drive orother main storage device to external media. General storage media isnot durable or stable over long periods of time and under certainconditions may result in data loss.
Before you install a device or application, save any data in memory tothe Hard Disk Drive or other storage media. Failure to do so mayresult in the loss of data.
Connecting the AC adaptor
Attach the AC adaptor when you need to charge the battery or you want tooperate from AC power. It is also the fastest way to get started, becausethe battery pack will need to be charged before you can operate frombattery power.
The AC adaptor can automatically adjust to any voltage ranging from 100to 240 volts and to a frequency of either 50 or 60 hertz, enabling you to usethis computer in almost any country/region. The adaptor converts ACpower to DC power and reduces the voltage supplied to this computer.
Always use the TOSHIBA AC adaptor that was included with yourcomputer, or use AC adaptors specified by TOSHIBA to avoid any riskof fire or other damage to the computer. Use of an incompatible ACadaptor could cause fire or damage to the computer possibly resultingin serious injury. TOSHIBA assumes no liability for any damagecaused by use of an incompatible adaptor.
Never plug the AC adaptor into a power source that does notcorrespond to both the voltage and the frequency specified on theregulatory label of the unit. Failure to do so could result in a fire orelectric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.
User's Manual2-3
Always use or purchase power cables that comply with the legalvoltage and frequency specifications and requirements in the countryof use. Failure to do so could result in a fire or electric shock, possiblyresulting in serious injury.
The supplied power cord conforms to safety rules and regulations inthe region the computer is bought and should not be used outside thisregion. For use in other regions, please buy power cords that conformto 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 computer, always follow thesteps in the exact order as described in this User’s Manual.Connecting the power cable to a live electrical outlet should be the laststep otherwise the adaptor DC output plug could hold an electricalcharge and cause an electrical shock or minor bodily injury whentouched.
