Certain notebook chassis are designed to accommodate all possible configurations for an entire product series. Your select model may not have all the features and specifications
corresponding to all of the icons or switches shown on the notebook chassis, unless you have selected all those features.
2 This computer is designed as a portable alternative to a traditional desktop computer and monitor. The CPU performance of this system is only optimized when operating in AC
power mode. CPU performance will decrease considerably when operating in battery power mode. [THE SPECIFIC CPU DISCLAIMER SHALL BE FOLLOWED BY THE
GENERAL CPU DISCLAIMER BELOW FOR SPECIFIED SYSTEMS]
CPU performance in your computer product may vary from specifications under the following conditions:

1. Use of certain external peripheral products

2. Use of battery power instead of AC power

3. Use of certain multimedia, computer generated graphics or video applications

4. Use of standard telephone lines or low speed network connections

5. Use of complex modeling software, such as high end computer aided design applications

6. Use of several applications or functionalities simultaneously

7. Use of computer in areas with low air pressure (high altitude greater than 1,000 meters or greater than 3,280 feet above sea level)

8. Use of computer at temperatures outside the range of 5°C to 30°C (41°F to 86° F) or >25°C (77°F) at high altitude (all temperature references are approximate and may vary
depending on the specific computer model – please refer to your Resource Guide or visit the Toshiba website at www.pcsupport.toshiba.com for details.)
CPU performance may also vary from specifications due to design configuration.
Under some conditions, your computer product may automatically shut-down. This is a normal protective feature designed to reduce the risk of lost data or damage to the product
when used outside recommended conditions. To avoid risk of lost data, always make back-up copies of data by periodically storing it on an external storage medium. For optimum
performance, use your computer product only under recommended conditions. Read additional restrictions under “Environmental Conditions” in your product Resource Guide.
Contact Toshiba Technical Service and Support for more information
3 The transmission speed over the wireless LAN and the distance over which wireless LAN can reach may vary depending on surrounding electromagnetic environment, obstacles,
access point design and configuration, and client design and software/hardware configurations. The actual transmission speed will be lower than the theoretical maximum speed.
4 1 Gigabyte (GB) means 1000 x 1000 x 1000 = 1,000,000,000 bytes using powers of 10. The computer operating system, however, reports storage capacity using powers of 2 for
the definition of 1 GB = 1024 x 1024 x 1024 = 1,073,741,824 bytes, and therefore may show less storage capacity. Available storage capacity will also be less if the product
includes one or more pre-installed operating systems, such as Microsoft Operating System and/or pre-installed software applications, or media content. Actual formatted capacity
may vary.
5 Small bright dots may appear on your TFT display when you turn on your PC. Your display contains an extremely large number of thin-film transistors (TFT) and is manufactured
using high-precision technology. Any small bright dots that may appear on your display are an intrinsic characteristic of the TFT manufacturing technology.
(a) Over a period of time, and depending on the usage of the computer, the brightness of the LCD Screen will deteriorate. This is an intrinsic characteristic of LCD technology.
