Safety Instructions

Use the following safety guidelines to help 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 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.

User’s Manual

iii

P200 Series

■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.

■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.

115V/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 that are plugged into it do not exceed the ampere rating of the extension cable itself.

■To help avoid the potential 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.

■Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with local authorities for disposal instructions.

■When travelling, do not check the computer as baggage. You can put your computer through an X-ray security machine, but never put your computer through a metal detector. If you have the computer checked by hand, be sure to have a charged battery available in case you are asked to turn on the computer.

■When travelling with the hard drive removed from the computer, wrap the drive in a non-conducting material, such as cloth or paper. If you have the drive checked by hand, be ready to install the drive in the computer. Your can put the hard drive through an X-ray security machine, but never put it through a metal detector.

■When travelling, do not place the computer in overhead storage compartments where it could slide around. Do not drop your computer or subject it to other mechanical shocks.

■Protect your computer, battery, and hard drive from environmental hazards such as dirt, dust, food, liquids, temperature extremes, and overexposure to sunlight.

■When you move your computer between environments with very different temperature and/or humidity ranges, condensation may form on or within the computer. To avoid damaging the computer, allow sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate before using the computer.

■When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain relief loop, not on the cable itself. As you pull out the connector, keep it evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.

User’s Manual

P200 Series

■Before you clean your computer, turn if off, unplug it from its power source, and remove the battery.

■Handle components with care. Hold a component such as a memory module by its edges, not its pins.

When using telephone equipment in conjunction with your computer, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:

■Do not use this product near water, for example, near a bathtub, washing bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool.

■Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

■Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.

■Use only the power cord indicated in this manual.

■Replace only with the same or equivalent type battery recommended by the manufacturer.

■Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.

■To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord.

Use only the battery pack that came with the computer or an optional battery pack. Use of the wrong battery could damage your computer.

TOSHIBA assumes no liability for any damage in such case.

User’s Manual

P200 Series

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. 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, 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.

User’s Manual

P200 Series

PC Card overheating

Some PC Cards can become hot during prolonged use which may result in errors or instability in the operation of the device in question. In addition, you should also be careful when you remove a PC Card that has been used for a long time.

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 30 cm is maintained between the computer and a mobile phone that is in use.

Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort

All important information on the safe and proper use of this computer is described in the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort. Be sure to read it before using the computer.
