Safety Instructions

Use the following safety guidelines to help protect yourself and your computer.

When Using Your Computer

CAUTION: 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 noting 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.
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.
iii
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 and some Far Eastern countries 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, 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 dis-
connect the AC adapter from the electrical outlet.
To help avoid the potential hazard of electric shock, do not connect or dis-
connect 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.

Instructions for IC CS-03 certified equipment

1
The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protec­tive, operational and safety requirements as prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Requirements document(s). The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection.
The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations. Repairs to certi­fied equipment should be coordinated by a representative designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground con­nections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particu­larly important in rural areas.
CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such connections them­selves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

Notes for Users in Australia and New Zealand

Modem warning notice for Australia
Modems connected to the Australian telecoms network must have a valid Austel permit. This modem has been designed to specifically configure to ensure com­pliance with Austel standards when the country/region selection is set to Austra­lia. The use of other country/region setting while the modem is attached to the Australian PSTN would result in you modem being operated in a non-compliant manner. To verify that the country/region is correctly set, enter the command ATI which displays the currently active setting.
To set the country/region permanently to Australia, enter the following command sequence:
AT % T E= 1 ATS133=1 AT & F AT & W AT % T E= 0 AT Z
Failure to set the modem to the Australia country/region setting as shown above will result in the modem being operated in a non-compliant manner. Conse­quently, there would be no permit in force for this equipment and the Telecoms Act 1991 prescribes a penalty of $12,000 for the connection of non-permitted equipment.
Notes for use of this device in New Zealand
The grant of a Telepermit for a device in no way indicates Telecom accep-
tance of responsibility for the correct operation of that device under all oper­ating conditions. In particular the higher speeds at which this modem is capable of operating depend on a specific network implementation which is only one of many ways of delivering high quality voice telephony to cus­tomers. Failure to operate should not be reported as a fault to Telecom.
In addition to satisfactory line conditions a modem can only work properly
if: a/ it is compatible with the modem at the other end of the call and b/ the application using the modem is compatible with the application at
the other end of the call - e.g., accessing the Internet requires suitable software in addition to a modem.
This equipment shall not be used in any manner which could constitute a
nuisance to other Telecom customers.
xi
Some parameters required for compliance with Telecom’s PTC Specifica-
tions are dependent on the equipment (PC) associated with this modem. The associated equipment shall be set to operate within the following limits for compliance with Telecom Specifications:
a/ There shall be no more than 10 call attempts to the same number within
any 30 minute period for any single manual call initiation, and
b/ The equipment shall go on-hook for a period of not less than 30 seconds
between the end of one attempt and the beginning of the next.
c/ Automatic calls to different numbers shall be not less than 5 seconds
apart.
Immediately disconnect this equipment should it become physically dam-
aged, and arrange for its disposal or repair.
The correct settings for use with this modem in New Zealand are as follows:
ATB0 (CCITT operation) AT&G2 (1800 Hz guard tone) AT&P1 (Decadic dialing make-break ratio = 33%/67%) ATS0=0 (not auto answer) ATS10=less than 150 (loss of carrier to hangup delay, factory default of 15
recommended) ATS11=90 (DTMF dialing on/off duration=90 ms) ATX2 (Dial tone detect, but not (U.S.A.) call progress detect)
When used in the Auto Answer mode, the S0 register must be set with a
value of 3 or 4. This ensures: (a) a person calling your modem will hear a short burst of ringing before
the modem answers. This confirms that the call has been successfully switched through the network.
(b) caller identification information (which occurs between the first and
second ring cadences) is not destroyed.
The preferred method of dialing is to use DTMF tones (ATDT...) as this is
faster and more reliable than pulse (decadic) dialing. If for some reason you must use decadic dialing, your communications program must be set up to record numbers using the following translation table as this modem does not implement the New Zealand “Reverse Dialing” standard.
Number to be dialed: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Number to program into computer: 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 Note that where DTMF dialing is used, the numbers should be entered nor-
mally.
xii
The transmit level from this device is set at a fixed level and because of this
there may be circumstances where the performance is less than optimal. Before reporting such occurrences as faults, please check the line with a standard Telepermitted telephone, and only report a fault if the phone perfor­mance is impaired.
It is recommended that this equipment be disconnected from the Telecom
line during electrical storms.
When relocating the equipment, always disconnect the Telecom line connec-
tion before the power connection, and reconnect the power first.
This equipment may not be compatible with Telecom Distinctive Alert
cadences and services such as FaxAbility.
NOTE THAT FAULT CALLOUTS CAUSED BY ANY OF THE ABOVE CAUSES MAY INCUR A CHARGE FROM TELECOM
General conditions
As required by PTC 100, please ensure that this office is advised of any changes to the specifications of these products which might affect compliance with the relevant PTC Specifications.
The grant of this Telepermit is specific to the above products with the marketing description as stated on the Telepermit label artwork. The Telepermit may not be assigned to other parties or other products without Telecom approval.
A Telepermit artwork for each device is included from which you may prepare any number of Telepermit labels subject to the general instructions on format, size and colour on the attached sheet.
The Telepermit label must be displayed on the product at all times as proof to purchasers and service personnel that the product is able to be legitimately con­nected to the Telecom network.
The Telepermit label may also be shown on the packaging of the product and in the sales literature, as required in PTC 100.
The charge for a Telepermit assessment is $337.50. An additional charge of $337.50 is payable where an assessment is based on reports against non-Telecom New Zealand Specifications. $112.50 is charged for each variation when submit­ted at the same time as the original.

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, damage to the computer or impared performance.
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 Instruction Manual for Safety & Comfort. It contains informa­tion on prevention of stress injuries to your hands and wrists than can be caused by extensive keyboard use. Chapter 3, Getting Started, also includes information on work space 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.
