General Precautions
TOSHIBA computers are designed to optimise safety, minimize 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.
Stress injury
Carefully read the Safety Instruction Manual. 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, includes
information on work space design, posture and lighting that can help
reduce physical stress.
Heat Warning
The base of the PC can become very warm; while the temperature will not
be too hot to the touch, prolonged physical contact may result in a
temporary heat imprint on the skin. It is recommended that prolonged
physical contact is avoided.
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 30cm
is maintained between the PC & the mobile phone.

Satellite Pro M10 Series v
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 in bundled
documents. Contact TOSHIBA Service and Support for more information.
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. If two cards are
installed, both can become hot even if only one is used extensively.
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.

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.
Modem warning notice
Conformity Statement
The equipment has been approved to [Commission Decision “CTR21”] for

Information to Wireless LAN Users
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.
Regulatory Information
The TOSHIBA Wireless LAN Mini PCI Card must be installed and used in
strict accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions as described in the
user documentation that comes with the product. This device complies
with the following radio frequency and safety standards.

Features
The computer uses TOSHIBA’s advanced Large Scale Integration (LSI),
Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) technology
extensively to provide compact size, minimum weight, low power usage,
and high reliability. This computer incorporates the following features and
benefits:
Processor
Built-in
■ Intel® Pentium® M processor 1.3 GHz
■ Intel® Pentium® M processor 1.5 GHz
Other processors may be offered.
Some models of the computers carry Intel® CentrinoTM technology, which
is based on three separate technologies of Intel® Pentium® M, Intel®
PRO/Wireless Network Connection, and Intel® 855 Chipset Family.
Memory
Slots 128, 256 or 512 MB memory modules can be
installed in the two memory slots for a maximum
of 1 GB system memory.
Video RAM 32 MB of RAM is provided for video display.
Power
Battery pack The computer is powered by one rechargeable
lithium-ion battery pack.
RTC battery The computer has an internal battery to back up
the internal Real Time Clock (RTC) and calendar.
AC adaptor The universal AC adaptor provides power to the
system and recharges the batteries when they
are low. It comes with a detachable power cord.
Because it is universal, it can receive a range of
AC voltage from 100 to 240 volts; however, the
output current varies among different models.
Using the wrong model can damage your
computer. See the AC adaptor section.
