Key operation
Some operations require you to simultaneously use two or more keys. We
identify such operations by the key top symbols separated by a plus sign
(+). For example, Ctrl + C means you must hold down Ctrl and at the same
time press C. If three keys are used, hold down the first two and at the
same time press the third.

General Precautions
TOSHIBA computers are designed to optimize safety, minimize strain and
withstand the rigors of portability. However, certain precautions should be
observed to further reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the
computer.
Be certain to read the general precautions below and to note the cautions
included in the text of the manual.
Stress injury
Carefully read the Safety Instruction Manual. It contains information on
prevention of stress injuries to your hands and wrists that can be caused by
extensive keyboard use. Chapter 3, Getting Started, also includes
information on workspace design, posture and lighting that can help reduce
physical stress.
Heat injury
■ Avoid prolonged physical contact with the computer. If the computer is
used for long periods, its surface can become very warm. While the
temperature will not feel hot to the touch, if you maintain physical
contact with the computer for a long time (if you rest the computer on
your lap, or if you keep your hands on the palm rest, for example) your
skin might suffer low-heat injury.
■ If the computer has been used for a long time, avoid direct contact with
the metal plate supporting the I/O ports. It can become hot.
■ The surface of the AC adaptor can become hot when in use. This
condition does not indicate a malfunction. If you need to transport the
AC adaptor, disconnect it and let it cool before moving it.
■ Do not lay the AC adaptor on a material that is sensitive to heat. The
material could be damaged.
Pressure or impact damage
Do not apply heavy pressure to the computer or subject it to strong impact.
Excessive pressure or impact can cause damage to computer components
or otherwise cause malfunctions.
User’s Manual xx
General Precautions
PC Card overheating
Some PC Cards can become hot with prolonged use. Overheating of a PC
Card can result in errors or instability in the PC Card operation. Also be
careful when you remove a PC Card that has been used for a long time.
Mobile phone
Use of mobile phones can interfere with the audio system. Computer
operation is not impaired but is recommended that a distance of 30 cm be
maintained between the computer and a mobile phone in use.
Disclaimers
■ Screen will dim when the computer is operated on battery power.
■ When using Qosmio Player, the remote control device will not function.
(This disclaimer applies to the Windows Media Center Edition models
only. )
■ TV tuner will function only in the country where the computer was
purchased.
■ All images are simulated for purposes of illustration.
■ Over a period of time, and depending on the usage of the computer, the
brightness of the LCD screen will deteriorate. This is an intrinsic
characteristic of LCD technology.
■ Your LCD display has a brightness approaching that of a TV device. We
recommend that you adjust the brightness of your LCD to a comfortable
level to prevent possible strain on your eyes.
■ The Qosmio Player is not a Windows based application. When using
the Qosmio Player, the audio/video recording feature will not function.
In addition, battery life will be less than when using similar applications
in the Windows operating system.
■ Copy protection technology included in certain media may prevent or
limit recording or viewing of the media.
■ SRS TruSurround XT is available only when using WinDVD
applications. SRS WOW is available only when using Windows Media
Player 9.
■ If you have to operate your PC during a thunderstorm and are
connecting the TV tuner to an outside antenna, you should operate your
PC using AC power mode. The AC adapter offers some protection
against (but does not entirely prevent) possible electric shock caused
by lightning. For complete protection, do not operate your PC during a
thunderstorm.
■ Available storage capacity will also be less if the product includes one
or more preinstalled operating systems, such as the Microsoft operating
system and/or preinstalled software applications, or media content.
Actual formatted capacity may vary.

■ Aircraft Environments: Please follow the advice of the flight personnel
regarding restrictions of use.
If this product is supplied with a network port, please refer to the paragraph
“Network connection”.
Any consequences resulting from the use of this product in working
environments that are not approved or the use in restricted areas are not
the responsibility of Toshiba Corporation.
The consequences of the use of this product in those working
environments may be:
■ Interference with other devices or machines in the nearby surrounding
area

you should always check to ensure that information has been sucessfully
stored on recordable optical media (CD-R, CD-RW, etc.).
User’s Manual xxiii
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 less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by
wireless devices such as 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 organisation. These situations may for example include:
■ Using the Wireless LAN equipment on board of aeroplanes, 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 organisation or environment (e.g. airports), you are
encouraged to ask for authorisation to use the Wireless LAN device prior to
turning on the equipment.
Safety Instruction for Wireless Products
If your computer has a wireless function, all safety instructions must be
