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 adaptor’s power cable and that

the cable is not located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.

■ Place the AC adaptor 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 adaptor with papers or other items that will reduce
cooling; also, do not use the AC adaptor while it is inside a carrying
case.

■ Use only the AC adaptor and batteries that are approved for use with

this computer. Use of another type of battery or AC adaptor may risk fire
or explosion.

■ Before you connect the computer to a power source, ensure that the

voltage rating of the AC adaptor matches that of the available power
source. 1 15 V/60 Hz in most of North and South America and some Far
Eastern countries such as Taiwan. 100 V/5 0 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 adaptor, ensure 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 remove power from the computer, turn it off, remove the battery, and

disconnect the AC adaptor from the electrical outlet.

■ To help avoid the pote ntial hazard of electric shock, do not connect or

disconnect any cables or perform maintenance or reconfiguration of this
product during an electrical storm.

■ When setting up the computer for work, place it on a level surface.

Getting Started

■ 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.

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

■ 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 and Restoring the pre-installed software

■ 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

L630/L635

User’s Manual 1-3

L630/L635

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.

easier and faster. In the Mouse Properties you can enable/disable these
functions.

ChiralMotion

You can scroll vertically and horizontally. To enable these features, select
the Enable vertical scrolling and Enable horizontal scrolling check
boxes.

The Momentum feature delivers smooth, fast, trackball-like mouse
movement. One quick flick of the finger on the TouchPad surface can move
the cursor across the entire computer screen. Momentum reduces the
repetitive motion and fatigue associated with moving the cursor long
distances, while providing a smooth and natural feel similar to using a
trackball. Momentum is ideal for Real Time Strategy (RTS) games, First
Person Shooter (FPS) games, and Role Playing Games (RPG). The two
buttons below the Touch Pad are used like the buttons on a standard

Using The TOSHIBA Face Recognition

TOSHIBA Face Recognition uses a face verification library to verify the
face data of users when they log in to Windows. The user can thus avoid
having to enter a password or the like, which makes the login process
easier. This software is preinstalled with some models.

Note on Use

■ TOSHIBA Face Recognition does not guarantee the correct

identification of a user. Changes to the likeness of a registrant, such as
hair style changes, wearing a cap, or wearing glasses may effect the
recognition rates when such changes occur after the registrant had
registered.

■ TOSHIBA Face Recognition may incorrectly recognize faces that are

similar to a registrant.

■ For high security purposes, TOSHIBA Face Recognition is not a

suitable substitute for Windows passwords. When security is a high
priority, use your established Windows passwords to log in.

■ Bright background light and/or shadows may prevent a registrant from

being recognized correctly. In that case, log in using your Windows
password. If recognition of a registrant fails repeatedly, refer to your
computer documentation to learn ways to improve recognition
performance.

■ TOSHIBA Face Recognition records face data in a log when face

recognition fails. When transferring ownership or disposing of your
computer, please uninstall the application or delete all the logs created
by the application. For details on how to do this, see help file.

■ TOSHIBA Face Recognition can be used only in Windows Vista and

Windows 7.

■ In writing to a DVD-R/-R DL/-RW, DVD+R/+R DL/+RW or DVD-RAM

disc, some disc space is required for file management, so you may not
be able to write the full capacity of the disc.
