Pursuant to FCC CFR 47, Part 68:

When you are ready to install or use the modem, call your local telephone company and give them the following information:

The telephone number of the line to which you will connect the modem

The registration number that is located on the device

The FCC registration number of the modem will be found on either the device which is to be installed, or, if already installed, on the bottom of the computer, separate from the system information label.

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) of the modem, which can vary - for the REN, please refer to the modem's label.

The modem connects to the telephone line by means of a standard jack called the USOC RJ11C.

Type of service

Your modem is designed to be used on standard-device telephone lines. Connection to telephone company-provided coin service (central office implemented systems) is prohibited. Connection to party lines service is subject to state tariffs. If you have any questions about your telephone line, such as how many pieces of equipment you can connect to it, the telephone company will provide this information upon request.

Telephone company procedures

The goal of the telephone company is to provide you with the best service it can. In order to do this, it may occasionally be necessary for them to make changes in their equipment, operations, or procedures. If these changes might affect your service or the operation of your equipment, the telephone company will give you notice in writing to allow you to make any changes necessary to maintain uninterrupted service.

If problems arise

If any of your telephone equipment is not operating properly, you should immediately remove it from your telephone line, as it may cause harm to the telephone network. If the telephone company notes a problem, they may temporarily discontinue service. When practical, they will notify you in advance of this disconnection. If advance notice is not feasible, you will be notified as soon as possible. When you are notified, you will be given the opportunity to correct the problem and informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC. In the event repairs are ever needed on your modem, they should be performed by TOSHIBA Corporation or an authorized representative of TOSHIBA Corporation.

Disconnection

If you should ever decide to permanently disconnect your modem from its present line, please call the telephone company and let them know of this change.

Fax branding

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a computer or other electronic device to send any message via a telephone fax machine unless such a message clearly contains in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page, or on the first page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent, an identification of the business, other entity or individual sending the message and the telephone number of the sending machine or such business, other entity or individual. In order to program this information into your fax modem, you should complete the setup of your fax software before sending messages.

Use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord.

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.

Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

2.The user manual of analog equipment must contain the equipment’s Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) and an explanation notice similar to the following:

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) of the modem can vary - for the REN, please refer to the modem's label.

User’s Manual

xiii

Qosmio F50

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.

3.The standard connecting arrangement (telephone jack type) for this equipment is jack type(s): USOC RJ11C.

The IC registration number of the modem is shown below.

Canada: 4005B-DELPHI

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 settings while the modem is attached to the Australian PSTN would result in your 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%TE=1

ATS133=1

AT&F

AT&W

AT%TE=0 ATZ

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, with the Telecoms Act 1991 prescribing 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 acceptance 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 - for example, 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.

Some parameters required for compliance with Telecom’s PTC Specifications 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, and;

c/ Automatic calls to different numbers shall be not less than 5 seconds apart.

Immediately disconnect this equipment should it become physically damaged, 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 (1800Hz guard tone)

AT&P1 (decadic dialing make-break ratio =33%/67%) ATS0=0 (disable auto answer)

ATS6=4 (blind dial delay)

ATS7=Less than 90 (time to wait for carrier after dialing) ATS10=Less than 150 (loss of carrier to hangup delay - the factory default of 15 is recommended)

ATS11=90 (DTMF dialing on/off duration in milliseconds) ATX2 (dial tone detect, but not USA call progress detect)

User’s Manual

xv

Qosmio F50

When used in Auto Answer mode, the S0 register must be set with to a value of either 3 or 4. This ensures:

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.

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 normally.

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 connection 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

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

xxvi

Qosmio F50

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.

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.

The cautions on use of a Qosmio F50 series computer

1.Clean any dust accumulated on the computer's cooling vents. The cooling vents are located on the back 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 back of the computer.

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.
