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
an electric 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.
PORTÉGÉ M930

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.
User's Manual xiii

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. It 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, 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.

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.

2. Gently turn the display panel until it fits into the slot along with the keyboard.
Figure 1-2 Turning the display panel
When turning display panel, be sure to turn slowly into the proper direction, and not apply excessive force or speed.

Connecting the AC adaptor

PORTÉGÉ M930
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 automatically adjust to any voltage ranging from 100 to 240 volts and to a frequency of either 50 or 60 hertz, enabling you to use this tablet in almost any country/region. The adaptor converts AC power to DC power and reduces the voltage supplied to this tablet.
Always use the TOSHIBA AC adaptor that was included with your tablet, or use AC adaptors specified by TOSHIBA to avoid any risk of fire or other damage to the tablet. Use of an incompatible AC adaptor could cause fire or damage to the tablet 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.
User's Manual 1-4
PORTÉGÉ M930
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 tablet, 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 tablet or AC adaptor on a wooden surface, furniture, or any other surface that could be marred by exposure to heat since the tablet base and AC adaptor's surface increase in temperature during normal use.
Always place your tablet 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.
