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.

■ 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.

Satellite P200/Satellite Pro P200 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.

115V/60Hz in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern
countries such as Taiwan.

100 V/50Hz in eastern Japan and 100 V/60Hz 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.

■ 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.

iv Satellite P200/Satellite Pro P200

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.

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 specifically configured 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 your modem being operated in a non­compliant 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 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

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 - 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.

Satellite P200/Satellite Pro P200 xxi

■ 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.

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 (1800 Hz guard tone)
AT&P1 (Decadic dialling 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 dealing 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 dialling is to use DTMF tones (ATDT...) as this

is faster and more reliable than pulse (decadic) dialling. If for some
reason you must use decadic dealing, 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 Dialling"
standard.

Number to be dialled: 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 dealing 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.

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.

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.

xxiv Satellite P200/Satellite Pro P200

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
st ro ng im pa ct a s t hi s c an d am ag e t he computer's components or otherwise
cause it to malfunction.

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 30cm 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.
