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.

Stress injury

Carefully read the Instruction Manual for Safety & Comfort. It contains
information on prevention of stress injuries to your hands and wrists than
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 (if you rest the computer on
your lap, or if you keep your hands on the palm rest, for example) your
skin might suffer low-heat injury.

■ If the computer has been used for a long time, avoid direct contact with

the metal plate supporting the I/O ports. It can become hot.

■ The surface of the AC adaptor can become hot when in use. This

condition does not indicate a malfunction. If you need to transport the
AC adaptor, disconnect it and let it cool before moving it.

■ Do not lay the AC adaptor on a material that is sensitive to heat. The

material could be damaged.

Pressure or impact damage

Do not apply heavy pressure to the computer or subject it to strong impact.
Excessive pressure or impact can cause damage to computer components
or otherwise cause malfunctions.

User’s Manual xv

General Precautions

PC card overheating

Some PC cards can become hot with prolonged use. Overheating of a PC
card can result in errors or instability in the PC card operation. Also be
careful when you remove a PC card that has been used for a long time.

Mobile phones

Use of mobile phones can interfere with the audio system. Computer
operation is not impaired but it is recommended that a distance of 30 cm be
maintained between the computer and a mobile phone in use.

Disclaimers

LCD

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.

Maximum brightness is only available when operating in AC power mode.
Screen will dim when the computer is operated on battery power and you
may not be able to increase the brightness of the screen.

CPU

Central Processing Unit (“CPU”) Performance Disclaimer.
CPU performance in your computer product may vary from specifications

under the following conditions:

■ use of certain external peripheral products

■ use of battery power instead of AC power

■ use of certain multimedia, computer generated graphics or video

applications

■ use of standard telephone lines or low speed network connections

■ use of complex modeling software, such as high end computer aided

design applications

■ use of several applications or functionalities simultaneously

■ use of computer in areas with low air pressure (high altitude >1,000

meters or >3,280 feet above sea level)

■ 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 PC documentation or visit the Toshiba website at
www.pcsupport.toshiba.com for details).

CPU performance may also vary from specifications due to design
configuration.

General Precautions

Under some conditions, your computer product may automatically shut­down. 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 PC documentation. Contact Toshiba technical service and support,
refer to TOSHIBA support section in Chapter 9 Trouble shooting for more
information.

Copy Protection

Copy protection technology included in certain media may prevent or limit
recording or viewing of the media.

HDD Drive Capacity

1 Gigabyte (GB) means 1000 × 1000 × 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 × 1024 × 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.

Non-applicable Icons

Certain notebook chassis are designed to accommodate all possible
configurations for an entire product series. Your selected 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.

SRS

SRS TruSurround XT is available only when using WinDVD applications.
SRS WOW is available only when using Windows Media Player 9 in the
standard Windows interface.

Conventions

This manual uses the following formats to describe, identify, and highlight
terms and operating procedures.

Abbreviations

On first appearance, and whenever necessary for clarity, abbreviations are
enclosed in parentheses following their definition. For example: Read Only
Memory (ROM). Acronyms are also defined in the Glossary.

Icons

Icons identify ports, dials, and other parts of your computer. The indicator
panel also uses icons to identify the components it is providing information
on.

Keys

The keyboard keys are used in the text to describe many computer
operations. A distinctive typeface identifies the key top symbols as they
appear on the keyboard. For example, Enter identifies the Enter key.

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 + C means you must hold down Ctrl and at the same
time press C. If three keys are used, hold down the first two and at the same
time press the third.

Introduction

Wireless LAN Some computers in this series are equipped with

a Wireless LAN mini-PCI card that is compatible
with other LAN systems based on Direct
Sequence Spread Spectrum/Orthogonal
Frequency Division Multiplexing radio technology
that complies with the IEEE 802.11 Standard
(Revision A, B or G).

■ Theoretical maximum speed: 54Mbps

(IEEE802.11a, 802.11g)

■ Theoretical maximum speed: 11Mbps

(IEEE802.11b)

■ Frequency Channel Selection (5 GHz:

Revision A / 2.4 GHz: Revision B/G)

■ Roaming over multiple channels

■ Card Power Management

■ Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data

encryption, based on 128 bit encryption
algorithm.

■ Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA).

■ The numerical values for display are the theoretical maximums for

Wireless LAN standards. The actual values may differ.

■ 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 Transmit Rate (at X Mbit/s) is the theoretical maximum speed under
the IEEE802.11 (a/b/g) standard. The actual transmission speed will be
lower than the theoretical maximum speed.
