Safety Instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to help protect yourself and your computer.
When Using Your Computer
Do not operate your portable computer for an extended period of time with the base resting directly on your body. With extended operation, heat can potentially build up in the base. Allowing sustained contact with the skin could cause discomfort or, eventually, a burn.
Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Always follow
installation instructions closely.
Do not carry a battery in your pocket, purse, or other container where
metal objects (such as car keys) could short-circuit the battery terminals. The resulting excessive current follow can cause extremely high temperatures and may result in damage from burns.
Be sure that nothing rests on your AC adapter's power cable and that
the cable is not located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.
Place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, such as a desk top or on the
floor, when you use it to run the computer or to charge the battery. Do not cover the AC adapter with papers or other items that will reduce cooling; also, do not use the AC adapter while it is inside a carrying case.
Use only the AC adapter and batteries that are approved for use with
this computer. Use of another type of battery or AC adapter may risk fire or explosion.
Satellite P200/Satellite Pro P200 iii
Before you connect the computer to a power source, ensure that the
voltage rating of the AC adapter matches that of the available power source.
115V/60Hz in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern countries such as Taiwan.
100 V/50Hz in eastern Japan and 100 V/60Hz in western Japan. 230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East.
If you use an extension cable with your AC adapter, ensure that the total
ampere rating of the products that are plugged into it do not exceed the ampere rating of the extension cable itself.
To help avoid the potential hazard of electric shock, do not connect or
disconnect any cables or perform maintenance or reconfiguration of this product during an electrical storm.
When setting up the computer for work, place it on a level surface.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with local
authorities for disposal instructions.
When travelling, do not check the computer as baggage. You can put
your computer through an X-ray security machine, but never put your computer through a metal detector. If you have the computer checked by hand, be sure to have a charged battery available in case you are asked to turn on the computer.
When travelling with the hard drive removed from the computer, wrap
the drive in a non-conducting material, such as cloth or paper. If you have the drive checked by hand, be ready to install the drive in the computer. Your can put the hard drive through an X-ray security machine, but never put it through a metal detector.
When travelling, do not place the computer in overhead storage
compartments where it could slide around. Do not drop your computer or subject it to other mechanical shocks.
Protect your computer, battery, and hard drive from environmental
hazards such as dirt, dust, food, liquids, temperature extremes, and overexposure to sunlight.
When you move your computer between environments with very
different temperature and/or humidity ranges, condensation may form on or within the computer. To avoid damaging the computer, allow sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate before using the computer.
When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain relief
loop, not on the cable itself. As you pull out the connector, keep it evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect a cable make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.
Before you clean your computer, turn if off, unplug it from its power
source, and remove the battery.
Handle components with care. Hold a component such as a memory
module by its edges, not its pins.
iv Satellite P200/Satellite Pro P200
When using telephone equipment in conjunction with your computer, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire, electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:
Do not use this product near water, for example, near a bathtub, washing
bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming pool.
Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical
storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
Use only the power cord indicated in this manual.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type battery recommended by
the manufacturer.
Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer's instructions.
To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger
telecommunication line cord.
Use only the battery pack that came with the computer or an optional battery pack. Use of the wrong battery could damage your computer.
TOSHIBA assumes no liability for any damage in such case.

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 specifically configured to ensure compliance with Austel standards when the country/region selection is set to Australia.
The use of other country/region setting while the modem is attached to the Australian PSTN would result in your modem being operated in a non­compliant 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 and the Telecoms Act 1991 prescribes 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 - e.g., 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.
Satellite P200/Satellite Pro P200 xxi
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.
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 (1800 Hz guard tone) AT&P1 (Decadic dialling make-break ratio =33%/67% ATS0=0 (not auto answer) ATS10=less than 150 (loss of carrier to hangup delay, factory default of
15 recommended) ATS11=90 (DTMF dealing on/off duration=90 ms) ATX2 (Dial tone detect, but not (U.S.A.) call progress detect)
When used in the Auto Answer mode, the S0 register must be set with
a value of 3 or 4. This ensures: (a) 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.
(b) caller identification information (which occurs between the first and
second ring cadences) is not destroyed.
The preferred method of dialling is to use DTMF tones (ATDT...) as this
is faster and more reliable than pulse (decadic) dialling. If for some reason you must use decadic dealing, 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 Dialling" standard.
Number to be dialled: 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 dealing 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.
xxii Satellite P200/Satellite Pro P200
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 CALL OUT 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. Chapter 3, Getting Started, also includes information on work space design, posture and lighting that can help reduce physical stress.
xxiv Satellite P200/Satellite Pro P200
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 st ron g i mpa ct a s th is c an d ama ge t he computer's components or otherwise cause it to malfunction.
PC Card overheating
Some PC Cards can become hot during prolonged use which may result in errors or instability in the operation of the device in question. In addition, you should also be careful when you remove a PC Card that has been used for a long time.
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.

Satellite P200/Satellite Pro P200 4-3
How the Swipe the Finger
Using the following steps when swiping fingers for FingerPrint registration or authentication will help to minimize authentication failures:
1. Align the first joint of the finger to the center of the sensor. Lightly touch the sensor and swipe finger levelly towards you.
While lightly touching the sensor, swipe the finger towards you until the sensor surface becomes visible.
Ensure the center of the FingerPrint is on the sensor when swiping the finger.
Avoid swiping with the finger stiff or pressed-on too hard
FingerPrint reading may fail if the center of the FingerPrint is not touching on the sensor, or when finger is swiped while pressing hard. Make sure that the center of the FingerPrint is touching the sensor before swiping.
Confirm the center of the FingerPrint whirl before swiping
The thumb's FingerPrint has a bigger whirl, which is prone to misalignment and distortions. This will cause difficulty in registration and a drop in the authentication success rate. Always confirm the center of the FingerPrint whirl so that it is swiped along the centerline of the sensor.
Operating Basics
When FingerPrint reading is not successful
There is a possibility of authentication failures if the finger is swiped too quickly or too slowly. Follow the onscreen instructions to adjust the speed of the swipe.
The following illustrations show the correct way to slide your finger over the recognition sensor.
Align the finger and sensor like the drawings.

Security
1. TOSHIBA strongly recommends that you enable the WPA encryption function otherwise your computer could be left open to illicit access via the wireless LAN connection which may result in an intrusion that can lead to the theft or loss of stored data among other things. In addition, the owner of an Internet connection is responsible for all browsing, downloading, and uploading activities on that connection. Therefore, an unsecured wireless network connected directly to the Internet is an open invitation for outsiders to abuse your ISP account and privileges.
2. TOSHIBA is not liable for the eavesdropping on your data due to the use of the wireless LAN connection and any damage that may occur thereof.
