Safety instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to help to protect yourself and your
computer.
When using your computer
Do not operate your portable computer for an extended period of time with
the base resting directly on your body. With extended operation, heat can
potentially build up in the base. Allowing sustained contact with the skin
could cause discomfort or, eventually, a burn.
■ Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Always follow
installation instructions closely.
■ Do not carry a battery in your pocket, purse, or other container where
metal objects (such as car keys) could short-circuit the battery
terminals. The resulting excessive current follow can cause extremely
high temperatures and may result in damage from burns.
■ Be sure that nothing rests on your AC adapter’s power cable and that
the cable is not located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.
■ Place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, such as a desk top or on the
floor, when you use it to run the computer or to charge the battery. Do
not cover the AC adapter with papers or other items that will reduce
cooling; also, do not use the AC adapter while it is inside a carrying
case.
User’s Manual ii
Satellite L350/Satellite Pro L350/Satellite L350D/Satellite Pro L350D series
■ Use only the AC adapter and batteries that are approved for use with
this computer. Use of another type of battery or AC adapter may risk fire
or explosion.
■ Before you connect the computer to a power source, ensure that the
voltage rating of the AC adapter matches that of the available power
source. 115 V/60 Hz in most of North and South America an d some Far
Eastern countries and regions such as Taiwan. 100 V/50 Hz in eastern
Japan and 100 V/60 Hz in western Japan. 230 V/50 Hz in most of
Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East.
■ If you use an extension cable with your AC adapter , ensu re that the total
ampere rating of the products plugged in to the extension cable does
not exceed the ampere rating of the extension cable.
■ To remo ve po wer from th e com pu ter, turn it off, remov e the ba tte ry, and
disconnect the AC adapter from the electrical outlet.
■ To help avoid the potential hazard of electric shock, do not connect or
disconnect any cable s or perform main tenance or recon figuration of this
product during an electrical stor m.
■ When setting up the computer for work, place it on a level surface.

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 adapter have adequate
ventilation and are protected from overheating when the power is
turned on or when a n AC ad apter is connecte d to a po wer outlet (even if
your computer is in Sleep Mode). In this condi tio n, obs erv e the
following:
■ Never cover your computer or AC adapter with any object.
■ Never place your computer or AC adapter 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 adapter could cause system failure,
computer or AC adapter damage or a fire, possibly resulting in serious
injury.
User’s Manual xx
Satellite L350/Satellite Pro L350/Satellite L350D/Satellite Pro L350D series
Creating a computer-fr i endly 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 opera ting condi tion, protec t 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 ven ts 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.
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 adapter can become hot when in use but this
condition does not indicate a malfunction. If you need to transport the
AC adapter, you should disconnect it and let it cool before moving it.
■ Do not lay the AC adapter on a material that is sensitive to heat as the
material could become damaged.
Pressure or impact damage
Do not apply heavy pressure to the computer or subject it to any form of
strong impact as thi s can damage the comput er’s componen ts or othe rwise
cause it to malfunction.

Introduction
For users of a 32-bit version of Windows: If your computer is configured
with two 2 GB memory modules or more, the memory might be displayed
as approximately 3 GB only (depending on the computer’s hardware
specifications).
This is correct because the operating system usually displays the
available memory instead of the physical memory (RAM) built into the
computer . Various system components (lik e the vi de o ada pter’s GPU an d
PCI devices like Wireless LAN, etc.) require their own memory space.
Since a 32-bit operating system cannot address more than 4 GB of
memory these system resources overlap the physical memory. It is a
technical limitation that the overlapped memory is not available to the
operating system. Even though some tools might display the actual
physical memory built into your computer, the memory available to the
operating system will sti ll be app rox im atel y 3 GB only.
