Telephone company procedures
The goal of the telephone company is to provide you with the best service it can. In order to do this, it may occasionally be necessary for them to make changes in their equipment, operations, or procedures. If these changes might affect your service or the operation of your equipment, the telephone company will give you notice in writing to allow you to make any changes necessary to maintain uninterrupted service.
If problems arise
If any of your telephone equipment is not operating properly, you should immediately remove it from your telephone line, as it may cause harm to the telephone network. If the telephone company notes a problem, they may temporarily discontinue service. When practical, they will notify you in advance of this disconnection. If advance notice is not feasible, you will be notified as soon as possible. When you are notified, you will be given the opportunity to correct the problem and informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC. In the event repairs are ever needed on your modem, they should be performed by TOSHIBA Corporation or an authorized representative of TOSHIBA Corporation.
Disconnection
If you should ever decide to permanently disconnect your modem from its present line, please call the telephone company and let them know of this change.

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 designed to specifically configure to ensure compliance with Austel standards when the country/region selection is set to Australia. The use of other country/region settings while the modem is attached to the Australian PSTN would result in your modem being operated in a non-compliant 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, with the Telecoms Act 1991 prescribing 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 - for example, 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.
User’s Manual |
ix |
■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, and;
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 (1800Hz guard tone)
AT&P1 (decadic dialing make-break ratio =33%/67%) ATS0=0 (disable auto answer)
ATS6=4 (blind dial delay)
ATS7=Less than 90 (time to wait for carrier after dialing) ATS10=Less than 150 (loss of carrier to hangup delay - the factory default of 15 is recommended)
ATS11=90 (DTMF dialing on/off duration in milliseconds) ATX2 (dial tone detect, but not USA call progress detect)
■When used in Auto Answer mode, the S0 register must be set with to a value of either 3 or 4. This ensures:
■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.
■caller identification information (which occurs between the first and second ring cadences) is not destroyed.
■The preferred method of dialing is to use DTMF tones (ATDT...) as this is faster and more reliable than pulse (decadic) dialing. If for some reason you must use decadic dialing, 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 Dialing” standard.
Number to be dialed: 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 dialing 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.
■It is recommended that this equipment be disconnected from the Telecom line during electrical storms.
■When relocating the equipment, always disconnect the Telecom line connection before the power connection, and reconnect the power first.
■This equipment may not be compatible with Telecom Distinctive Alert cadences and services such as FaxAbility.
NOTE THAT FAULT CALLOUTS CAUSED BY ANY OF THE ABOVE CAUSES MAY INCUR A CHARGE FROM TELECOM

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.

General Precautions
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.
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.
