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.

Provide adequate ventilation

■ Always make sure your computer and AC adaptor have adequate

ventilation and are protected from overheating when the power is
turned on or when an AC adaptor is connected to a power outlet (even if
your computer 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 anelectric 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 serious
injury.

User’s Manual xix

Creating a computer-friendly environment

Place the computer on a flat surface that is large enough for the computer
and any other items you are using, such as a printer.

Leave enough space around the computer and other equipment to provide
adequate ventilation. Otherwise, they may overheat.

To keep your computer in prime operating condition, protect your work area
from:

■ Dust, moisture, and direct sunlight.

■ Equipment that generates a strong electromagnetic field, such as

stereo speakers (other than speakers that are connected to the
computer) or speakerphones.

■ Rapid changes in temperature or humidity and sources of temperature

change 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 contains
information on the prevention of stress injuries to your hands and wrists
that can be caused by extensive keyboard use. Instruction Manual for
Safety and Comfort also includes information on work space design,
posture and lighting that can help reduce physical stress.

Qosmio F60 Series

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, for example if you rest the
computer on your lap or if you keep your hands on the palm rest, your
skin might suffer a low-heat injury.

■ If the computer has been used for a long time, avoid direct contact with

the metal plate supporting the various interface ports as this can
become hot.

■ The surface of the AC adaptor can become hot when in use but this

condition does not indicate a malfunction. If you need to transport the
AC 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 the

material could become damaged.

User’s Manual xx

Pressure or impact damage

Do not apply heavy pressure to the computer or subject it to any form of
strong impact as this can damage the computer's components or otherwise
cause it to malfunction.

Mobile phones

Please be aware that the use of mobile phones can interfere with the audio
system. The operation of the computer will not be impaired in any way, but
it is recommended that a minimum distance of 30cm is maintained between
the computer and a mobile phone that is in use.

Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort

All important information on the safe and proper use of this computer is
described in the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort. Be
sure to read it before using the computer.

The cautions on use of a Qosmio F60 Series computer

1. Clean any dust accumulated on the computer's cooling vents.
The cooling vents are located on the left side and underside of the
computer.

When you use your computer in a dusty area, dirt and debris may
accumulate on the cooling vents at the under side of your unit. If this
occurs, the accumulated dust can cause insufficient heat dissipation which
may result in the computer shutting down during use. Carefully clean the
dust from the vents using a vacuum cleaner.

2. Cooling vents on the underside and left side of the computer.

1. Cooling vents

Cooling vents

To prevent possible overheating of the CPU, make sure the cooling fan's
air intake is not blocked. The fan draws in air by creating a vacuum. If the
fan is blocked, it could cause the CPU to run at a lower performance level
or cause the computer to shut down. Loose items such as notebook and
tissue paper, plastic wrappers, or other similar materials can block the air
intake, preventing air from reaching the CPU. Do not use the computer on
surfaces with objects that can be drawn in by the cooling fan.

User’s Manual xxii

Getting Started

This chapter provides basic information to start using your computer. It
covers the following topics:

■ All users should be sure to read the section Starting up for the first time.

■ Be sure to read the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort

for information on the safe and proper use of this computer. It is
intended to help you be more comfortable and productive while using a
notebook computer. By following the recommendations in it you may
reduce your chance of developing a painful or disabling injury to your
hand, arms, shoulders or neck.

■ Connecting the AC adaptor

■ Opening the display

■ Turning on the power

■ Starting up for the first time

■ Turning off the power

■ Restarting the computer

■ System Recovery Options

■ Creating Recovery Media

■ Restoring the pre-installed software from the Recovery hard disk drive

■ Restoring the pre-installed software from your created Recovery Media

■ Use a virus-check program and make sure it is updated regularly.

■ Never format storage media without checking its content - formatting

destroys all stored data.

■ It is a good idea to periodically back up the internal hard disk drive or

other main storage device to external media. General storage media is
not durable or stable over long periods of time and under certain
conditions may result in data loss.

■ Before you install a device or application, save any data in memory to

the hard disk drive or other storage media. Failure to do so may result
in the loss of data.

Getting Started

User’s Manual 1-3

Connecting the AC adaptor

Attach the AC adaptor when you need to charge the battery or you want to
operate from AC power. It is also the fastest way to get started, because
the battery pack will need to be charged before you can operate from
battery power.

The AC adaptor can be connected to any power source supplying from 100
to 240 volts and 50 or 60 hertz. For details on using the AC adaptor to
charge the battery pack, refer to Chapter 6, Power and Power-Up Modes.

■ Always use the TOSHIBA AC adaptor that was included with your

computer or use AC adaptors specified by TOSHIBA to avoid any risk
of fire or other damage to the computer. Use of an incompatible AC
adaptor could cause fire or damage to the computer possibly resulting
in serious injury. TOSHIBA assumes no liability for any damage caused
by use of an incompatible adaptor.

■ Never plug the AC adaptor into a power source that does not

correspond to both the voltage and the frequency specified on the
regulatory label of the unit. Failure to do so could result in a fire or
electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.

■ Always use or purchase power cables that comply with the legal

voltage and frequency specifications and requirements in the country of
use. Failure to do so could result in a fire or electric shock, possibly
resulting in serious injury.

■ The supplied power cord conforms to safety rules and regulations in

the region the product is bought and should not be used outside this
region. For use in other regions, please buy power cords that conform
to 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 the

steps in the exact order as described in the User’s Manual. Connecting
the power cable to a live electrical outlet should be the last step
otherwise the adaptor DC output plug could hold an electrical charge
and cause an electrical shock or minor bodily injury when touched. As
a general safety precaution, avoid touching any metal parts.

■ Never place your computer or AC adaptor on a wooden surface,

furniture, or any other surface that could be marred by exposure to heat
since the computer base and AC adaptor's surface increase in
temperature during normal use.

■ Always place your computer or AC adaptor on a flat and hard surface

that is resistant to heat damage.

Refer to the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort for
detailed precautions and handling instructions.
