Type of service

Your modem is designed to be used on standard-device telephone lines. Connection to telephone company-provided coin service (central office implemented systems) is prohibited. Connection to party lines service is subject to state tariffs.

If you have any questions about your telephone line, such as how many pieces of equipment you can connect to it, the telephone company will provide this information upon request.

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.

Fax branding

The Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a computer or other electronic device to send any message via a telephone fax machine unless such message clearly contains in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent and an identification of the business, other entity or individual sending the message and the telephone number of the sending machine or such business, other entity or individual. In order to program this information into your fax modem, you should complete the setup of your fax software before sending messages.

Instructions for IC CS-03 certified equipment

1. The Industry Canada label identifies certified equipment. This certification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective, operational and safety requirements as prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment Technical Requirements document(s). The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection.

The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations. Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a representative designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.

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 setting while the modem is attached to the Australian PSTN would result in you modem being operated in a non-compliant manner. To verify that the country/region is correctly set, enter the command ATI9 which displays the currently active setting.

To set the country/region permanently to Australia, enter the following command sequence:

AT+GCI=09

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.

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.

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.

■ 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 hang up delay, factory default of

15 recommended) ATS11=90 (DTMF dialling 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 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

Downloaded from LpManual.com Manuals

User’s Manual xii

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 dialling, 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 dialling 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 conditions

As required by PTC 100, please ensure that this office is advised of any changes to the specifications of these products which might affect compliance with the relevant PTC Specifications.

The grant of this Telepermit is specific to the above products with the marketing description as stated on the Telepermit label artwork. The Telepermit may not be assigned to other parties or other products without Telecom approval.

■ 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.

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.

Getting Started

Connecting the AC adaptor

Attach the AC adaptor when you need to charge the battery or you want to operate from AC power. It is also the fastest way to get started, because the battery pack will need to be charged before you can operate from battery power.

The AC adaptor can be connected to any power source supplying from 100 to 240 volts and 50 or 60 hertz. For details on using the AC adaptor to charge the battery pack, refer to Chapter 6, Power and Power-Up Modes.

■ Always use the TOSHIBA AC adaptor that was included with your

computer or use AC adaptors specified by TOSHIBA to avoid any risk of fire or other damage to the computer. Use of an incompatible AC adaptor could cause fire or damage to the computer possibly resulting in serious injury. TOSHIBA assumes no liability for any damage caused by use of an incompatible adaptor.

■ Never plug the AC adaptor into a power source that does not

correspond to both the voltage and the frequency specified on the regulatory label of the unit. Failure to do so could result in a fire or electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.

■ Always use or purchase power cables that comply with the legal

voltage and frequency specifications and requirements in the country of use. Failure to do so could result in a fire or electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.

■ The supplied power cord conforms to safety rules and regulations in

the region from which the product is purchased and should not be used outside this region. For use in other regions, please buy power cords that conform to safety rules and regulations in that particular region.

■ Do not use a 3-pin to 2-pin conversion plug.

■ When you connect the AC adaptor to the computer, always follow the

steps in the exact order as described in the User’s Manual. Connecting the power cable to a live electrical outlet should be the last step otherwise the adaptor DC output plug could hold an electrical charge and cause an electrical shock or minor bodily injury when touched. As a general safety precaution, avoid touching any metal parts.

■ Never place your computer or AC adaptor on a wooden surface,

furniture, or any other surface that could be marred by exposure to heat since the computer base and AC adaptor's surface increase in temperature during normal use.

■ Always place your computer or AC adaptor on a flat and hard surface

that is resistant to heat damage. Refer to the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort for detailed precautions and handling instructions.

Using the fingerprint sensor

This product has a fingerprint utility installed for the purpose of enrolling and recognizing fingerprints. By enrolling the ID and password to the fingerprint authentication device, it is no longer necessary to input the password from the keyboard. Just by swiping the finger against the fingerprint sensor, the following functions will be enabled:

■ Logon to Windows and access a security-enabled homepage through

IE (Internet Explorer).

■ Files and folders can be encrypted/decrypted and third party access to

them prevented.

■ Disable the password-protected screen-saver when returning from

power-saving (Sleep) mode.

■ Pre-OS feature and Single Sign-On feature.

■ Authentication of the User Password and Hard Disk Password when

booting up the computer.

User’s Manual 4-4

Operating Basics

How to 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.

2. While lightly touching the sensor, swipe the finger towards you until the sensor surface becomes visible.

3. Ensure the center of the fingerprint is on the sensor when swiping the finger.

Slide the finger over the recognition sensor

■ Avoid swiping with the finger stiff or pressing 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.

■ When fingerprint reading is not successful:

There is a possibility of authentication failure if the finger is swiped too quickly or too slowly. Follow the onscreen instructions to adjust the speed of the swipe.

Windows logon via fingerprint authentication

In place of the usual Windows logon by ID and password, fingerprint authentication also allows logon to Windows.

This is especially useful when many users are using the computer, as user selection can be skipped.

Fingerprint authentication procedure

1. Start up the computer.

2. The Logon Authorization screen is displayed. Choose any of the enrolled fingers and swipe the fingerprint on the sensor. If authentication is successful, the user will be logged on to Windows.

Fingerprint system boot authentication

General

The fingerprint authentication system can be used to replace the keyboard based User Password authentication system when booting up.

If you prefer to use the keyboard-based system instead of the fingerprint authentication system for password authentication when booting up, press the BACK SPACE key when the Fingerprint System Boot Authentication screen is displayed. This will switch the password input screen to the keyboard-based one.

■ If the fingerprint authentication fails, please logon using the Windows

logon password.

■ Please logon using the Windows logon password if the fingerprint

authentication fails for five times. To logon using the Windows logon password, enter the Windows logon password at the [Welcome] screen.

■ A warning message will be displayed when authentication is abnormal

or authentication is not successful within a fixed duration.

■ It is necessary to register the User Password before using the

fingerprint Pre-OS feature and its extended function, the fingerprint Single Sign-On feature. Please use TOSHIBA HW Setup to register the User Password.

■ If you fail fingerprint authentication more than five times, you must

enter the User Password or Supervisor Password manually to start the computer.

■ When swiping, please do it slowly and at a constant speed. If this does

not improve the authentication rate, please adjust the speed.

■ If there are any changes in the environment or settings related to

authorization, you will be required to provide authorization information such as a User Password and HDD password.

Fingerprint utility limitations

TOSHIBA does not guarantee that the fingerprint utility technology will be completely secure or error-free. TOSHIBA does not guarantee that the fingerprint utility will accurately screen out unauthorized users at all times. TOSHIBA is not liable for any failure or damage that might arise out of the use of the fingerprint software or utility.

USB Sleep and Charge function

Your computer can supply USB bus power (DCSV) to the USB port even when the power of the computer is turned OFF. "Power OFF" includes Sleep Mode, Hibernation Mode or shutdown state.

This function can only be used for ports that support the USB Sleep and Charge function (hereinafter called "compatible ports").

Compatible ports are USB ports that have the ( ) symbol. You can use the "USB Sleep and Charge function" to charge certain USB-

compatible external devices such as mobile phones or portable digital music players.

However, the "USB Sleep and Charge function" may not work with certain external devices even if they are compliant with the USB specification. In those cases, turn ON the power of the computer to charge the device.

■ The "USB Sleep and Charge function" only works for compatible ports.

This function is disabled in the default setting.

■ When "USB Sleep and Charge function" is set to [Enabled], USB bus

power (DC5V) will be supplied to compatible ports even when the power of the computer is turned OFF. USB bus power (DC5V) is similarly supplied to the external devices which are connected to the compatible ports. However, some external devices cannot be charged solely by supplying USB bus power (DC5V). As for the specifications of the external devices, please contact the device manufacturer or check the specifications of the external devices thoroughly before use.

■ Using the USB sleep and charge function to charge external devices

will take longer than charging the devices with their own chargers.

■ If USB Sleep and Charge function is enabled, the computer’s battery

will discharge during hibernation or when the computer is turned off. It is recommended that you connect the AC adaptor to the computer when enabling the USB Sleep and Charge function.

■ External devices connected to the USB bus power (DC5V) function that

interfaces with the power ON/OFF of the computer may always be in an operational state.

■ When there is a current overflow of the external devices connected to

the compatible ports, USB bus power (DC5V) supply may be stopped for safety reasons.
