Introduction

Service options

Chapter 1

Getting Started

This chapter provides tips for working comfortably, summarizes how to connect components, and explains what to do the first time you use your notebook computer.

Selecting a place to work

Your computer is portable and designed to be used in a variety of circumstances and locations.

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.

Keeping yourself comfortable

The Toshiba Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort, that shipped with your computer, contains helpful information for setting up your work environment and tips for working comfortably throughout the day.

Getting Started

Selecting a place to work

Precautions

Your computer is designed to provide optimum safety and ease of use, and to withstand the rigors of travel. You should observe certain precautions to further reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the computer.

❖ Avoid prolonged physical contact with the underside or

surface of the computer.

Getting Started

Selecting a place to work

Never allow any liquids to spill into any part of your computer, and never expose the computer to rain, water, seawater or moisture. Exposure to liquid or moisture can cause electric shock or fire, resulting in damage or serious injury. If any of these eventualities should accidentally occur, immediately:

1. Turn off the computer.

2. Disconnect the AC adapter from the power plug socket and computer.

3. Remove the battery pack.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or permanent damage to the computer.

Do not turn on the power again, until you have taken the computer to an authorized service center.

If you experience discomfort while operating the computer, stop immediately and rest. Continuous operation for long periods without adequate rest may cause pain in the arms, wrists, hands, neck or other part of the body. If pain persists despite rest, consult your doctor.

PC base and palm rest can become hot! Avoid prolonged contact to prevent heat injury to skin.

Read the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort.

Getting Started

Selecting a place to work

Some PC Cards can become hot with prolonged use. Overheating of a PC Card can result in errors or instability in its operation.

Before you remove a PC Card, always wait for it to cool. You could get burned removing a hot PC Card.

Never place a heavy object on the computer and be careful not to drop a heavy object onto the computer. It could damage the computer or cause system failure.

❖ Never turn off the computer if a drive light indicates a

drive is active. Turning off the computer while it is reading from or writing to

a disk may damage the disk, the drive, or both.

❖ Keep the computer and disks away from objects that

generate strong magnetic fields, such as large stereo speakers.

Information on disks is stored magnetically. Placing a magnet too close to a disk can erase important files.

Handle discs carefully. Avoid touching the surface of the disc. Grasp it by its center hole and edge. If you handle the disc incorrectly, you could damage the disc and possibly lose data.

❖ Scan all new files for viruses.

This precaution is especially important for files you receive via email or download from the Internet. Occasionally, even new programs you buy from a supplier may contain a computer virus. You need a special program to check for viruses. Ask your dealer to help you.

Getting Started

Setting up your computer

Important information on your computer’s cooling fan

Your computer may have a CPU cooling fan that cools the CPU by drawing outside air into the computer. The cooling fan may be located on the bottom of the computer.

To prevent possible overheating of the CPU, make sure the air intake on the cooling fan is not blocked. The fan draws in air by creating a vacuum. If the fan is blocked, it could cause the CPU to run at a lower performance level or cause the computer to shut down. Loose items such as notebook and tissue paper, plastic wrappers, or other similar materials can block the air intake, preventing air from reaching the CPU. Do not use the computer on surfaces with objects that can be drawn in by the cooling fan.

NOTE

The cooling fan location will vary depending on the computer.

Setting up your computer

TECHNICAL NOTE: You must complete all setup steps up to and including “Setting up your software” on page 47 before adding external or internal components to your computer. These components include, but are not limited to, a mouse, keyboard, printer, memory, and PC Cards.

Your computer contains a rechargeable main battery that needs to be charged before you can use it.

To use external power or to charge the battery you must attach the AC adapter. See “Connecting to a power source”

on page 49.

To register your computer online or to sign up for an Internet account, you must either connect the built-in modem to a telephone line or establish a Local Area Network (LAN) connection. See “Connecting the modem to a telephone line”

on page 138.

Registering your computer with Toshiba

Product registration is strongly recommended, and allows Toshiba to send the Customer periodic updates, announcements, and special offers applicable to the product. Product registration can be completed during the initial start up process of your computer. If you opt not to register at that time, you can either double-click the icon on your desktop or go to the Toshiba web site at www.register.toshiba.com. Customer failure to complete Product Registration will not diminish Customer rights under this limited Warranty.

NOTE

To register online, you must be connected to the Internet via your computer’s modem and a voice-grade telephone line, or by a Local Area Network.

Adding external devices

Before starting to use your computer, you may also want to:

❖ Add more memory (see “Adding memory” on page 58) ❖ Connect a mouse (see “Connecting an external USB

keyboard” on page 65)

❖ Connect a full-size keyboard (see “Connecting an

❖ Install PC Cards (see “Using PC Cards” on page 153)

Connecting to a power source

Your computer requires power to operate. Use the power cord/cable and AC adapter cord to connect the computer to a live electrical outlet, or to charge the computer’s battery.

Never pull on a power cord/cable to remove a plug from a socket. Always grasp the plug directly. Failure to follow this instruction may damage the cord/cable, and/or result in a fire or electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.

Getting Started

When you connect the AC adapter to the computer, always follow the steps in the exact order as described in the User’s Guide. Connecting the power cord/cable to a live electrical outlet should be the last step; otherwise, the adapter 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.

Always use the Toshiba AC adapter that was provided with your computer, or use Toshiba recommended alternate models to avoid any risk of fire or other damage to the computer. Use of an incompatible AC adapter could cause fire or damage to your computer, possibly resulting in serious injury.

NOTE

Small bright dots may appear on your screen display when you turn on your PC. Your display contains an extremely large number of thin-film transistors (TFT) and is manufactured using high-precision technology. Any small bright dots that may appear on your display are an intrinsic characteristic of the TFT manufacturing technology. Over a period of time, and depending on the usage of the computer, the brightness of the screen will deteriorate. This is also an intrinsic characteristic of the screen technology. When the computer is operated on battery power, the screen will dim and you may not be able to increase the brightness of the screen while on battery power.

While in Primary Landscape mode, you can use FN + Spacebar to change the screen resolution from 1024 x 768 to 800 x 600 (repeated use will recycle the resolutions). For more information, see “Display modes” on page 246.

Your computer’s features and specifications

Certain notebook chassis are designed to accommodate all possible configurations for an entire product Series. Your selected model may not have all the features and specifications corresponding to all of the icons or switches shown on the notebook chassis, unless you have selected all those features.

This information applies to all the features and icons described in this guide.

Below are examples of some of the many possible icons used on your computer:

Sample system icons

Turning on the power

To turn on the computer:

1 Make sure any external devices (such as the AC adapter,

if you plan to use AC power rather than battery power) are properly connected and ready.

The first time you turn on the computer you should not have any accessories or third-party devices attached.

2 If an optional external diskette drive is connected to your

computer, verify that the drive is empty.

3 Slide the power lock button down, and then slide the

power button to the right and hold it until the on/off light

on the system indicator panel glows green—about one second.

Never turn off the computer while any of the drives are in use. Doing so may damage the media in use and result in loss of data.

4 The preinstalled operating system loads automatically.

When you turn on the computer for the first time, do not turn off the power again until the operating system has loaded completely.

Using the TouchPad™

The TouchPad, the small, smooth square cutout located in front of the keyboard, is sensitive to touch and enables you to move the cursor with the stroke of a finger. Simply move your finger on the TouchPad in the direction you would like to move the cursor:

Getting Started

Using the computer for the first time

❖ To move the cursor to the top of the page, push your

finger forward on the TouchPad.

❖ To move the cursor to the bottom of the page, drag your

finger toward yourself.

❖ To move the cursor to the right side of the page, slide

your finger across the TouchPad from left to right.

Getting Started

Using the computer for the first time

❖ To move it to the left side, slide your finger from right to

left.

NOTE

Once you have positioned your cursor, you can double-tap the TouchPad or click the buttons to open a program or file, or to get information about an icon.

Because the TouchPad is much smaller than the display screen, moving your cursor across the screen often means having to move your finger several times across the TouchPad in the desired direction.

Primary and secondary control buttons

When you want to click or choose an item, use the TouchPad to move the pointer/cursor to the item. Once the pointer/ cursor is positioned, you can double-tap the TouchPad or click the buttons to open a program or file or to get information about an icon.

The control buttons are adjacent to the TouchPad and are used like the buttons on a mouse. The primary control button is the left one and corresponds to the left mouse button. To double-tap, press the primary button twice in rapid succession.

The function of the secondary button depends on the program you are using. It usually corresponds to the right mouse button. Check your program’s documentation to find whether it uses the secondary mouse button.

Adjusting the quality of the external display

To obtain the best picture quality from your external display device, you may need to adjust the video settings. See the documentation supplied with the device for additional configuration steps.

TECHNICAL NOTE: In order to use the simultaneous mode, you must set the resolution of the internal display panel to match the resolution of the external display device. The external display device must support a resolution of 800 X 600 or higher.

If you have your internal display set to horizontal landscape and then rotate the internal display to a portrait style, images will not display properly on an external display or other external device (for example, a projector) unless you change the internal device’s setting to primary landscape.

When the display is rotated, the display orientation on the external display will also rotate.

Display limitations

Keep in mind that the quality of the display will be limited to the capabilities of the external video device.

❖ If the external video device, such as an SVGA monitor, is

capable of displaying at a maximum resolution of 640 x 480 and your system is set for a higher resolution, only part of the desktop will appear on the screen. You can view the “lost” area by scrolling to it.

❖ If you use the display hot key (Fn + F5) to change the

display output with the LCD Display Stretch option enabled and the Display area (resolution) set to 640 x 480 or 800 x 600, the image on the internal display panel may appear stretched.

TECHNICAL NOTE: You can also use the Cross-Functional button/Cross Menu utility to toggle between display resolutions. Press and hold the Cross-Functional button for 3 seconds, and then move over to the display icon. Press the Cross-Functional button to make your selection.

You cannot rotate the display to any of the portrait modes if the resolution is set to 800 x 600. You can change from primary landscape to secondary landscape mode or visa versa using the Cross Menu program.

Turning off the computer

It is a good idea to power off your computer when you are not using it for a while.

If you are using the computer for the first time, leave the computer plugged into a power source (even though the computer is off) to fully charge the battery. When the battery light glows green, the battery is fully charged.

Learning the Basics

This chapter lists computing tips and provides important information about the system’s basic features.

Computing tips

❖ Save your work frequently.

Your work temporarily stays in the computer’s memory

until you save it to the hard disk. You will lose all

unsaved work, if, for example, a system error occurs and

you must restart your computer, or your battery runs out

of charge while you are working. Your computer can be

configured to warn you when the battery is running low.

See “Setting battery alarms” on page 119.

HINT: Some programs have an automatic save feature which you can turn on. This feature saves your file to the hard disk at preset intervals. See your software documentation for details.

Learning the Basics

Computing tips

❖ Back up your files to discs (or other removable storage

media) on a regular basis. Label the backup copies clearly and store them in a safe place.

If your hard disk suddenly fails, you may lose all the data on it unless you have a separate backup copy.

❖ Use Error-checking and Disk Defragmenter regularly to

conserve disk space and improve performance. Consult your operating system documentation for more information on these and other utilities.

❖ Scan all new files for viruses. This precaution is

especially important for files you receive via diskette, email, or download from the Internet.

❖ Take frequent breaks to avoid repetitive-motion injuries

and eyestrain.

❖ Do not turn off the computer if a drive indicator light

indicates a drive is active. Turning off the computer while it is reading from or writing to

a disk may damage the disk, the drive, or both.

❖ Before turning off the computer, use the Turn off

computer command or Stand By command. See

“Powering down the computer” on page 97 to learn more

about Standby.

The operating system records information, such as your desktop setup, during its shut down procedure. If you do not let the operating system shut down normally, details such as new icon positions may be lost.

Learning the Basics

Using the DVD-ROM or multi-function drive

Optical storage has become the preferred medium for software, music, and video. Digital versatile discs (DVDs) provide a significant increase in data storage and support features that are not available on any other video platform. These features include wide-screen movies, multiple language tracks, digital surround sound, multiple camera angles, and interactive menus.

For these reasons, your computer may come with a DVDROM drive or multi-function drive.

TECHNICAL NOTE: Your DVD-ROM or multi-function drive is set to play region 1 (North America) DVD-ROMs. If you play a DVD disc from another region, the drive will automatically change to play in the format of the other region. The drive will allow you to change regions four times. On the fourth change, the region will be “locked in.” That is, the drive will only play DVDs from the last region. Note that changing from region 1 to region 2 and back to region 1 is counted as two changes.

NOTE

You use CD-ROMs and DVD-ROMs to load and run software, and to access reference material such as catalogs, as well as listen to music. A special feature allows you to play audio CDs even when the computer is turned off.

For optimum CD and DVD performance, it is recommended that you play CDs and DVDs while running the computer on AC power.

example, if it is a music CD, open Windows® Media Player and point it to play the CD. For other types of media, use the associated software to open the files on the disk.

Creating a CD

Depending on your computer’s configuration, your computer may come with a multi-function drive that allows you to:

❖ Play pre-recorded DVDs ❖ Play pre-recorded CDs ❖ Read and write data (depending on your system

configuration) and music files to CD-Recordable (CD-R) and CD-Rewritable (CD-RW) discs; and read DVD±R/RW or DVD RAM discs.

NOTE

Copy protection technology included in certain media may prevent or limit recording or viewing of the media.

Viewing the contents of a CD or DVD

CDs and DVDs contain files just like the hard disk. CDs are often used to install software or store files that require lots of space, such as photographs and large presentation files. You can use Explorer or My Computer to view the contents of any CD or DVD.

Removing a disc with the computer on

Never press the eject button or turn off the computer while the drive-in-use light is glowing. Doing so could damage the disk or the drive.

1 Locate and press the eject button.

The disc tray partially opens.

2 Grasp the disc tray and pull it fully open. 3 Remove the disc from the disc tray and place it in its

protective cover.

If the disc is spinning when you open the disc tray, wait for the disc to stop before removing it.

4 Close the disc tray by pressing gently on the center of the

tray until it clicks, indicating that it is locked.

Removing a disc with the computer off

1 Insert a slender object, such as a straightened paper clip,

into the manual eject button access hole.

Never use a pencil to press the manual eject button. Pencil lead can break off inside the computer and damage it.

2 Pull the tray fully open, remove the disc, and place it in

its protective cover.

3 Close the disc tray by pressing gently on the center of the

tray until it clicks, indicating that it is locked.

Caring for CDs and DVDs

❖ Store your discs in their original containers to protect

them from scratches and keep them clean.

❖ Never bend a disc or place heavy objects on top of it. ❖ Never apply a label to, or otherwise mar the surface of a

disc.

❖ Hold a disc by its outside edge. Fingerprints on the

surface can prevent the drive from reading the data

properly.

Learning the Basics

Backing up your work

❖ Avoid exposing discs to direct sunlight or extreme heat or

cold.

❖ To clean a disc that is dirty, wipe it with a clean, dry

cloth. The most efficient method to clean it is to start from the center of the disc and wipe toward the outward edge (not in a circle). If necessary, moisten the cloth with water or a neutral cleaner (not benzine or rubbing alcohol). Let the disc dry completely before inserting it in the drive.

Backing up your work

Back up all the files you create in case something happens to your computer. You can back up your files to different types of media such as CDs, DVDs, diskettes, or to a network, if available.

To back up several files at one time, use the Microsoft® Windows® backup program preinstalled on the computer’s hard disk. Also see “Backing up your data to CDs with

Windows XP” on page 232.

HINT: Backing up all the files on your hard disk mat take a considerable amount of time and multiple CDs/DVDs. You may prefer to use a high-capacity backup system, such as an external hard drive.

Small files can be backed up on diskettes if an optional external diskette drive is available.

Restoring your work

To restore information from your backup media to your hard disk, use the Restore page in the backup program. Look in the

Learning the Basics

Powering down the computer

online Help or your operating system documentation for information on restoring files.

TECHNICAL NOTE: When restoring files, the backup program prompts you if you try to overwrite a file that already exists on the hard disk. Make sure the backup version is the one you want before overwriting the existing file.

Powering down the computer

When you power down the computer, you have a number of options to choose from:

❖ Turn Off or Shut down, which powers off the computer ❖ Hibernation, which saves the current operating state to

the hard disk and powers off the computer

❖ Stand By, which saves the current operating state to

memory and enters a low power mode

❖ Restart, which restarts the computer

Each option has its advantages.

TECHNICAL NOTE: Before using any of these options to power down your computer, save your files and make sure the disk activity lights are off.

If you change your mind and decide to continue working after all, wait a few seconds before turning the computer on again.

Learning the Basics

Powering down the computer

Turn Off or Shut down command

The Turn Off or Shut down commands power off the computer. The Windows system uses Turn Off if you are not connected to a Windows network server (domain server). It uses Shut down if you are connected to a Windows

Factors to consider when choosing Turn Off or Shut down:

❖ No power is used while the computer is turned off. This

is the most efficient mode if you will be away from your computer for an extended time.

❖ Restarting from Turn Off or Shut down uses the most

time and battery power.

❖ When starting up again, the system does not

automatically open the programs and files you were previously using.

Restart command

Restart is the same as Turn Off or Shut down but automatically powers up the computer. Use it when you need to reload the operating system, for example to activate changes to system settings.

Hibernation command

XP Tablet PC Edition operating

network server (domain server).

The Hibernation command powers off the computer, but it first saves the current state of the computer to the hard disk. Since Hibernation does not require power to maintain the saved information, the system settings are retained indefinitely. Restoring information from the hard disk takes longer than restoring it from memory. When you start up again, the computer runs a self-test, loads the operating system, and then returns to the state in which you left it.

Factors to consider when choosing Hibernation:

❖ While in Hibernation mode, the computer uses no battery

power.

❖ Because the state of the system is held on the hard disk,

no data is lost if the battery discharges while the

computer is in Hibernation mode.

❖ When starting up again, this choice uses less time and

battery power than the Turn Off or Shut down option. But

it uses a little more time and battery power to start up

than the Standby option, because information is being

retrieved from the hard disk instead of from memory.

❖ On restarting, the computer returns to the state in which

you left it, and opens all the programs and files you were

using.

Stand By command

The Stand By command puts the computer into a powersaving mode. Standby stores the current state of the computer in memory so that, when you restart the computer, you can continue working from where you left off.

Factors to consider when choosing Standby:

Learning the Basics

Powering down the computer

❖ While in Standby mode, the computer uses some battery

power. If your computer is left in Standby mode for an

extended period, your computer could lose data.

❖ When starting up again, this choice uses less time and

battery power than either Turn Off, Shut down or

Hibernation.

❖ On restarting, the computer returns to the state in which

you left it, and opens all the programs and files you were

using.

If you power down using the Stand By command and the battery discharges fully, your unsaved information will be lost. Be sure to save your work often.
