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 heate r.

■ 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.c

■ 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.

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.

User’s Manual xiv

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.

General Precautions

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.

Mobile phones

Please be aware that the use of mobile phones can interfere with the audio system. The operation of the computer will not be impaired in any way, but it is recommended that a minimum distance of 30cm is maintained between the computer and a mobile phone that is in use.

■ 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

the hard disk drive or other storage media. Failure to do so may result in the loss of data.

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 st arted, because the battery pack will need to be charged before you can operate from battery power .

Getting Started

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 pa ck, refer to Chapter 6, Power and Power-up Modes.

Getting Started

■ 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 sho u l d 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.

Chapter 5

Typewriter keys

The typewriter keys, produce the uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and special symbols that appear on the screen.

There are some differences, however, between using a typewriter and using a computer keyboard:

■ Letters and numbers produced in computer text vary in width. Spaces,

which are created by a “space character,” may also vary depending on line justification and other factors.

■ The lowercase l (el) and the number 1 (one) are not interchangeable on

computers as they are on a typewriter.

■ The uppercase O (oh) and the 0 (zero) are not interchangeabl e.

■ The Caps Lock function key locks only the alphabetic characters in

uppercase while the shift lock on a typewriter places all keys in the shifted position.

■ The Shift keys, the Tab key, and the Back Space key perform the same

function as their typewriter counterparts but also have special computer functions.

User’s Manual 5-1

Function keys: F1 … F12

The function keys, not to be confused with Fn, are the 12 keys at the top of your keyboard. These keys are dark gray, but function differently from the other dark gray keys.

F1 through F12 are called function keys because they execute programmed functions when pressed. Used in combination with the Fn key , keys marked with icons execute specific functions on the computer. See the section, Soft keys: Fn key combinations, in this chapter. The function executed by individual keys depends on the software you are using.

Soft keys: Fn key combinations

The Fn (function) is unique to Toshiba computers and is used in combination with other keys to form soft keys. Soft keys are key combinations that enable, disable or configure specific features.

The Keyboard

Some software may disable or interfere with soft-key operations. Soft key settings are not restored by th e R esu me fe at ure.

Emulating keys on an enhanced key board

The keyboard is designed to provide all the featu re s of the 104/105-key enhanced keyboard, shown in figure 5-1. The 104/105-key enhanced keyboard has a numeric keypad. It also has additional Enter and Alt keys to the right of the main keyboard. Since the keyboard is smaller and has fewer keys, some of the enhanced keyboard functions must be simulated using two keys instead of one on the larger keyboard.

Your software may require you to use keys that the keyboard does not have. Pressing the Fn key and one of the following keys simulates the

enhanced keyboard’s functions.

Press Fn + F11 to access the computer’s integrated keypad.

Battery types

The computer has two different types of battery:

■ Battery — 4 cell.

■ Real Time Clock (RTC) battery

Battery

When the AC power cord is not connected, the computer’s main power source is a removable lithium ion battery pack, also referred to in this manual as the battery. You can purchase additional battery packs for extended use of the computer away from an AC power source.

Indicates power is being supplied to the computer and the computer is turned on.

Indicates the power was turned off while the computer was in Standby mode.

Under any other conditions, the indicator does not light.

The battery pack is a lithium battery, which can explode if not properly replaced, used, handled or disposed of. Dispose of the battery as required by local ordinances or regulations. Use only battery recommended by TOSHIBA as replacements.

The battery recharges the RTC battery. The battery maintains the state of the computer when you enable Resume.

When the computer is powered off in hibernation and standby mode, and the AC adaptor is not connected, the battery pack supply power to maintain data and programs in memory. If the battery pack is completely discharged, hibernation and Standby do not function and the computer loses all data in memory.

One of the following messages appears when you turn on the power:

The firmware has detected that a CMOS battery

fail occurred.<F1> delete

The firmware has detected that a CMOS battery

fail occurred.<F1> delete, <F2> to setup

User’s Manual 6-3

To ensure that the battery pack maintains its maximum capacity, operate the computer on battery power at least once a month until the battery pack is fully discharged. Refer to Extending battery life in this chapter for procedures. If the computer is continuously operated on AC power, more than a month, the battery may fail to retain a charge. It may not function efficiently over the expected life of the battery and the Battery LED may not indicate a low-battery condition.

Real Time Clock battery

The Real Time Clock (RTC) battery provides power for the internal real time clock and calendar. It also maintains the system configuration.

If the RTC battery becomes completely discharged, the system loses this data and the real time clock and calendar stop working. One of the following messages appears when you turn on the power:

The firmware has detected that a CMOS

battery fail occurred.<F1> delete

Power and Power-up Modes

The computer’s RTC battery is a lithium battery and should be replaced only by your dealer or by a TOSHIBA service representative. The battery can explode if not properly replaced, used, handled or disposed of. Dispose of the battery as required by local ordinances or regulations

Care and use of the battery pack

This section provides the important safety precautions in order to handle your battery pack properly.

Refer to the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort for detailed precautions and handling instructions.

■ Make sure the battery is securely installed in th e computer before

attempting to charge the battery pack. Improper installation could generate smoke or fire, or cause the battery pack to rupture.

■ Keep the battery pack out of reach of infants and children. It can cause

injury.

User’s Manual 6-4

Power and Power-up Modes

■ The battery pack, Extended Battery Pack and High Capacity Battery

Pack are lithium ion batteries, which can explode if not replaced, used, handled or disposed of properly. Dispose of the battery as required by local ordinances or regulations. Use only batteries recommended by TOSHIBA as replacements.

■ Charge the battery pack only in an ambient temperature between 5

and 35 degrees Celsius. Otherwise, the electrolyte solution might leak, battery pack performance might deteriorate and the battery life might be shortened.

■ Never install or remove the battery pack without first turning off the

power and disconnecting the AC adaptor. Never remove the battery pack while the computer is in Sleep Mode. Data could be lost.

■ When the High Capacity Battery Pack is connected to the computer,

do not hold on only to the High Capacity Battery Pack when lifting the computer up. The High Cap acity Bat tery Pack may separate from them computer, causing it to fall and cause injuries.

Never remove the battery pack while the Wake-up on LAN function is enabled. Data will be lost. Before you remove a battery pack, disable the Wake-up on LAN function.

Charging the battery

When the power in the battery pack becomes low, the Battery indicator flashes green fast indicating that only a few minutes of battery power remain. If you continue to use the computer while the Battery indicator flashes, the computer enables hibernation mode (so you don’t lose data) and automatically turns off.

The computer enters hibe r na te mode only if hibernation is enabled in the Hibernate tab in Power Options.

You must recharge a battery pack when it becomes discharged.

Procedures

To recharge a battery pack while it is inst alled in the computer, connect the AC adaptor to the DC IN socket and plug the other end into a working outlet.

The Battery indicator glows blinking green slow when the battery is being charged.

Use only the computer connected to an AC power source or the optional TOSHIBA battery charger to charge the battery pack. Never attempt to charge the battery pack with any other charger

Time

The following table shows the approximate time required to fully charge a discharged battery .

Charging time (hours)

Battery type Power on Power off

Battery pack (4 cell) 4 hours or more 4 hours RTC battery 24 hours 24 hours

The charging time when the computer is on is affected by ambient temperature, the temperature of the computer and how you use the computer. If you make heavy use of external devices, for example, the battery might scarcely charge at all during operation. Refer also to the section Maximizing battery operating time.

Battery charging notice

The battery may not charge right away under the following conditions:

■ The battery is extremely hot or cold. If the battery is extremely hot, it

might not charge at all. Also, to ensure the battery charges to its full capacity, charge the battery at room temperature of 10° to 30°C (50° to 86°F).

■ The battery is nearly completely discharged. Leave the AC adaptor

connected for a few minutes and the battery should begin charging.

The Battery indicator may show a rapid decrease in battery operating time when you try to charge a battery under the following conditions:

■ The battery has not been used for a long time.

■ The battery has completely discharged and been left in the computer for

a long time.

■ A cool battery is installed in a warm computer.

In such case, follow the steps below.

1. Fully discharge the battery by leaving it in the computer with the power on until the power automatically shuts off.

2. Plug in the AC adaptor.

3. Charge the battery until the Battery indicator glows green.

Repeat the steps two or three times until the battery recovers normal capacity.

Leaving the AC adaptor connected will shorten battery life. At least once a month, run the computer on battery pow er until th e battery is fully discharged, then recharged the battery.

Monitoring battery capacity

Remaining battery power can be monitored in Power Options.

User’s Manual 6-6

Wait at least 16 seconds after turning on the computer before trying to monitor the remaining operating time. The computer needs this time to check the battery’s remaining capacity and to calculate the remaining operating time, based on the current power consumption rate and remaining battery capacity. The actual remaining operating time may differ slightly from the calculated time.

Maximizing battery operating time

A battery’s usefulness depends on how long it can supply power on a single charge.

How long the charge lasts in a battery depends on:

■ How you configure the computer (for example, whether you enable

battery-power saving options). The computer provides a battery save mode, which can be set in Power Options, to conserve battery power. This mode has the following options:

■ CPU Precessing speed

■ Screen brightness

Power and Power-up Modes

■ Cooling Method

■ System Standby

■ System hibernation

■ Monitor Power off

■ HDD Power off

■ How often and how long you use the hard disk, optical disc drive and

the diskette drive.

■ How much charge the battery contained to begin with.

■ Enabling hibernation and Standby mode conserves battery power if you

are frequently turning the computer off and on.

■ Where you store your programs and data.

■ Closing the display when you are not using the keyboard saves power.

■ Operating time decreases at low temperatures.

■ The condition of the battery terminals. Make sure the battery terminals

stay clean by wiping them with a clean dry cloth before installing the battery pack.

Retaining data with power off

When you turn off your computer with fully charged battery, the battery retain data for the following approximate time periods.

Extending battery life

To maximize the life of your battery packs:

■ At least once a month, disconnect the computer from a power source

and operate it on battery power until the battery pack fully discharges. Before doing so, follow the steps below.

1. Turn off the computer’s power.

2. Disconnect the AC adaptor and turn on the computer’s power. If it does not turn on then go to Step 4.

3. Operate the computer on battery power for five minutes. If the battery pack has at least five minutes of operating time, continue operating until the battery pack is fully discharged. If the battery LED flashes or there is some other warning to indicate a low battery, go to step 4.

4. Connect the AC adaptor to the computer and the power cord to a power outlet. The Battery LED should glow blinking green slow to indicate that the battery pack is being charged. If the battery indicator does not glow, power is not being supplied. Check the connections for the AC adaptor and power cord.

about 3 months

5. Charge the battery pack until the Battery indicator glows green.

■ If you have extra battery packs, rotate their use.

■ If you will not be using the system for an extended period more than

one month, remove the battery pack.

■ Disconnect the AC adaptor when the battery is fully charged.

Overcharging makes the battery hot and shortens life.

■ If you are not going to use the computer for more than eight hours,

disconnect the AC adaptor.

■ Store spare battery pa cks in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight.

Replacing the battery pack

When the battery pack reaches the end of its operating life you will need to install a new one. If the Battery indicator flashes green shortly after fully recharging the battery, the battery pack needs to be replaced. You might also replace a discharged battery pack with a charged spare

when you are operating your computer away from an AC power source. This section explains how to remove and install battery packs.

Troubleshooting

TOSHIBA designed the computer for durability. However, should problems occur, following the procedures in this chapter can help to determine the cause.

All readers should become familiar with this chapter. Knowing what might go wrong can help prevent problems from occurring.

Problem solving proces s

Resolving problems will be much easier if you observe the following guidelines:

Chapter 9

■ Stop immediately when you recognize a problem exists. Further action

may result in data loss or damage. You may destroy valuable problemrelated information that can help solve the problem.

■ Observe what is happening. Write down what the system is doing and

what actions you performed immediately before the problem occurred. If you have a printer attached, print a copy of the screen using the PRTSC(Print Screen) key.

The questions and procedures offered in this chapter are meant as a guide, they are not definitive problem solving techniques. Many problems can be solved simply, but a few may require help from your dealer. If you find you need to consult your dealer or others, be prepared to describe the problem in as much detail as possible.

User’s Manual 9-1

Preliminary checklist

Consider the simplest solution first. The items in this checklist are easy to fix and yet can cause what appears to be a serious problem.

■ Make sure you turn on all peripheral devices before you turn on the

computer. This includes your printer and any other external device you are using.

■ Before you attach an external device, turn the computer off. When you

turn the computer back on it recognizes the new device.

■ Make sure all options are set properly in the setup program.

■ Check all cables. Are they correctly and firmly attached? Loose cables

can cause signal errors.

■ Inspect all connecting cables for loose wires and all connectors for

loose pins.

■ Check that your diskette is correctly inserted and that the diskette’s

write protect tab is correctly set.

Make notes of your observations and keep them in a permanent error log. This will help you describe your problems to your dealer. If a problem recurs, the log will help you identify the problem faster.

Troubleshooting

Analyzing the problem

Sometimes the system gives clues that can help you identify why it is malfunctioning. Keep the following questions in mind:

■ Which part of the system is not operating properly: keyboard, diskette

drives, hard disk drive, printer, display. Each device produces different symptoms.

■ Is the operating system configuration set properly? Check the

configuration options.

■ What appears on the display screen? Does it display any messages or

random characters? Print a copy of the screen if you have a printer attached. Look up the messages in the software and operating system documentation. Check that all connecting cables are correctly and firmly attached. Loose cables can cause erroneous or intermittent signals.

■ Do any icons light? Which ones ? Wh at color are they? Do they stay on

or blink? Write down what you see.

Record your observations so you can describe them to your dealer.

Troubleshooting

Software

Hardware

The problems may be caused by your software or diskette. If you cannot load a software package, the

media (usually a diskette) may be damaged or the program might be corrupted. Try loading another copy of the software.

If an error message appears while you are using a software package, check the software documentation. These documents usually include a problem solving section or a summary of error messages.

Next, check any error messages in the OS documentation.

If you cannot find a software problem, check your hardware. First run through the items in the preliminary checklist above. If you still cannot correct the problem, try to identify the source. The next section provides checklists for individual components and peripherals.
