SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Four types of messages are used in this manual to bring important information to your
attention. Each of these messages will be italicized and identified as shown below.

DANGER: “Danger” indicates the existence of a hazard that could result in death or
serious bodily injury, if the safety instruction is not observed.

WARNING: “Warning” indicates the existence of a hazard that could result in bodily
injury, if the safety instruction is not observed.

CAUTION: “Caution” indicates the existence of a hazard that could result in property
damage, if the safety instruction is not observed.

NOTE: “Note” contains general information that relates to your safe maintenance
service.

Improper repair of the computer may result in safety hazards. Toshiba requires service
technicians and authorized dealers or service providers to ensure the following safety
precautions are adhered to strictly.

 Be sure to fasten screws securely with the right screwdriver. If a screw is not fully

fastened, it could come loose, creating a danger of a short circuit, which could cause
overheating, smoke or fire.

 If you replace the battery pack, RTC battery or backup battery, be sure to use only the

same model battery or an equivalent battery recommended by Toshiba. Installation
of the wrong battery can cause the battery to explode.

Keys

Keys are used in the text to describe many operations. The key top symbol as it appears on
the keyboard is printed in boldface type.

Key operation

Some operations require you to simultaneously use two or more keys. We identify such
operations by the key top symbols separated by a plus (+) sign. For example, Ctrl + Pause
(Break) means you must hold down Ctrl and at the same time press Pause (Break). If
three keys are used, hold down the first two and at the same time press the third.
