the safe use of your Pocket PC. Your Pocket PC
produces low levels of RF energy due to the
generation of digital timing pulses by its clock
oscillator circuits. Your Pocket PC has been
equipped with internal shielding to minimize any
stray emissions of RF energy. Airlines may
nevertheless prohibit the on-board use of all
portable PCs (and all other portable electronic
devices that could potentially emit stray RF
energy), particularly during take-offs and
landings, to prevent any possible interference
with the reception of signals by airborne
electronic navigational devices.

the built-in battery leaks liquid or emits an unusual odour. Continued use
of your Pocket PC under either of these conditions could cause ignition
(i.e., fire) of the leaked battery liquid, or rupture. Never touch any fluid that
might leak from the built-in battery. Such liquid when in contact with the
eyes or skin, could cause injury to the skin or eyes. Should the liquid
come into contact with the eyes, irrigate the eyes thoroughly with clean
water and immediately seek medical attention. In the event the liquid
comes into contact with the skin or clothing, wash it away immediately
with clean water. Never attempt to disassemble, repair or make any
modification to your Pocket PC. Disassembly, modification or any attempt
at repair could cause bodily injury or property damage, as well as damage
to the Pocket PC itself. Failure to follow the above directions concerning
use and storage could result in damage to your Pocket PC or bodily injury
and property damage due to battery liquid leakage, fire or rupture.
CAUTION
Never raise the sound volume level to high when using your Pocket PC
with earphones. An excessive sound volume level could cause damage to
your hearing. Never touch the liquid that might leak from a broken liquid
crystal display. Contact with this liquid could cause a skin rash. If the
crystal display liquid should come into contact with the skin or clothing,
wash it immediately with clean water. Never allow infants or small children
within reach of your Pocket PC. Infants or small children could injure
themselves if allowed access to your Pocket PC.
DANGER
Never attempt to disassemble or repair an AC Adaptor, and never alter
their Power Supply Cables or plugs as exposure to electric shock hazards
could result. Always contact an authorized service provider, if repair or
replacement is required.
WARNING
Always use the AC Adaptor that has been provided with your Pocket PC.
Bodily injury or property damage could occur as a result of the use of an
unauthorized and incompatible AC Adaptor in violation of this Warning.
Never connect or disconnect the AC Adaptor with wet hands. Connecting
or disconnecting the AC Adaptor to a power source with wet hands could
cause electric shock.
User's Manual v
Introduction
CAUTION
Avoid connecting your Pocket PC to an external device such as a
computer in an environment likely to be affected by static electricity. For
example, during low-humidity weather, shuffling your shoes upon a rug
can produce static electricity. Before you handle your computer, you
should touch a grounded object to discharge any static electricity from
your body.
Avoid using your Pocket PC in environments that are likely to be affected
by static electricity or are prone to high electrical noise. If you connect
your Pocket PC to a computer via the docking cradle for data transfer or
data restoration purposes, Toshiba will not be responsible for any Pocket
PC or computer malfunction, problems with data transfer (restoration
creation or data communication) or data modification/loss that may occur
in these environments.
CAUTION
Never place an AC Adaptor on a wooden surface (or any other surface
that could be marred by exposure to heat) while it is in use, since its
surface temperature increases during normal use. Always rest it on a
suitable heat-insulating material. Never cover the AC Adaptor with any
object while it is in use, and never place it adjacent to a heat source. An
excessive temperature increase could detrimentally affect its
performance. Never place a Power Supply Cable near a heat source, as
damage to the cord or to its insulation could result. Always use a surge
protector when utilizing the AC Adaptor during an electrical storm.
Otherwise, a power surge could result in the loss of stored data. Insert the
power plug to a household electric outlet. When travelling abroad, never
plug the AC Adaptor into a power source that does not correspond to
both the voltage and the frequency specified on the rating plate of the
unit, as equipment damage will result. Never attempt to connect or
disconnect the power plug with damp or wet hands. Connecting or
disconnecting the power plug with damp or wet hands could result in an
electric shock. Never leave an open container, such as a cup or glass,
containing a liquid near the AC Adaptor. Spilled liquid coming in contact
with the AC Adaptor could cause a fire or electric shock. Always ensure
the power plug pins are clean and free of dust or other foreign material by
wiping the pins with a clean dry cloth. Dust or other foreign material
accumulation on the power plug pins could cause fire. Always unplug the
power plug from an outlet by grasping the power plug itself. Never pull on
the Power Supply Cable to disconnect the Power Supply Cable from an
outlet. Pulling on the Power Supply Cable could cause a fire or electric
shock as a result of damage to the Power Supply Cable.
