General Precautions
TOSHIBA computers are designed to optimise safety, minimise strain and
withstand the rigors of portability. However, certain precautions should be
observed to further reduce the risk of personal injury, damage to the
computer or impaired performance.
Be certain to read the general precautions below and to note the cautions
included in the text of the manual. Please also refer to the Safety
Instruction Manual.
Stress injury
Carefully read the Safety Instruction Manual. It contains information on
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.
Heat Warning
■ 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.
Mobile phones
Use of mobile phones can interfere with the PC sound system. The PC
operation is not impaired but it is recommended that a distance of 30 cm
is maintained between the PC & the mobile phone.
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.
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.
User's Manual
Satellite M30 Series xi
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.
Central Processing Unit (CPU) Performance Disclaimer
CPU Performance in your computer product may vary from specifications
under the following conditions:
■ Use of certain peripheral products
■ use of battery power instead of AC power
■ use of certain multimedia games or videos with special effects
■ use of standard telephone lines or low speed network connections
■ use of complex modelling software, such as high end computer aided
design applications
■ use of the computer in areas with low air pressure (high altitude
>1,000 meters or >3,280 feet above sea level)
■ use of the computer at temperatures outside the range of 5°C to 35°C
(41°F to 95°F) or >25°C (77°F) at high altitude (all temperature
references are approximate).
■ 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 Requirements defined in the Appendix A, Specifications.
Contact TOSHIBA Technical Service and Support for more information.
CE compliance
This product and the original options are designed to observe the related
EMC (Electromagnetic compatibility) and safety standards. However,
TOSHIBA should not guarantee that this product still observes these
EMC standards if options or cables not produced by TOSHIBA are
connected or implemented. In this case the persons who have
connected / implemented those options / cables have to assure that the
system (PC plus options / cables) still fulfils the required standards. To
avoid in general EMC problems following advice should be observed:
■ Only CE marked options should be connected / implemented
■ Only best shielded cables should be connected

Satellite M30 Series xiii
Network connection (class A warning)
If this product has networking capabilities and will be connected to a
network, Class A radiation limits will be observed (in accordance with
technical conventions). This means that if the product will be used in a
domestic environment, other devices in the near surrounding may suffer
interference. Consequently, please do not use this product in such
environments (for example a living room), otherwise you could be held
responsible for any ensuing interference.
Information on the secure use of the CD-RW
Please adhere to the following information on the use of the CD-RW to
minimise the risk of unsuccessful storing process. As the storing may be
unsuccessful despite your adhering to these information, for example
because of a defective storing medium, you should even if the software
indicates a successful storage, always check if the data has been stored
successfully.

Wireless Interoperability
The TOSHIBA Wireless LAN Mini PCI Card products are designed to be
interoperable with any Wireless LAN product that is based on Direct
Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) radio technology, and is compliant
to:
■ The IEEE 802.11 Standard on Wireless LANs (Revision B), as defined
and approved by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.
■ The Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) certification as defined by the WECA
Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance.
Wireless LAN and your Health
Wireless LAN products, like other radio devices, emit radio frequency
electromagnetic energy. The level of energy emitted by Wireless LAN
devices however is far much less than the electromagnetic energy
emitted by wireless devices like for example mobile phones.
Because Wireless LAN products operate within the guidelines found in
radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, TOSHIBA
believes Wireless LAN is safe for use by consumers. These standards and
recommendations reflect the consensus of the scientific community and
result from deliberations of panels and committees of scientists who
continually review and interpret the extensive research literature.
In some situations or environments, the use of Wireless LAN may be
restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible representatives
of the organisation. These situations may for example include:
■ Using the Wireless LAN equipment on board of aeroplanes, or
■ In any other environment where the risk of interference to other
devices or services is perceived or identified as harmful.
If you are uncertain of the policy that applies on the use of wireless
devices in a specific organisation or environment (e.g. airports), you are
encouraged to ask for authorisation to use the Wireless LAN device prior
to turning on the equipment.

If your computer has wireless function, all safety instructions must be
read carefully and must be fully understood, before attempting to use our
Wireless Products.
This manual contains the safety instructions that must be observed in
order to avoid potential hazards that could result in personal injuries or
could damage your Wireless Products.
