The FCC registration number of the modem will be found on either the device which is to be installed, or, if already installed, on the bottom of the computer outside of the main system label.

❑ The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) of the modem, which can vary. For

the REN of your modem, refer to your modem’s label.

The modem connects to the telephone line by means of a standard jack called the USOC RJ11C.

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

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.

Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.

CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

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 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 A T&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.

❑ 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 dialing 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 dialing 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 dialing is to use DTMF tones (ATDT...) as this is

faster and more reliable than pulse (decadic) dialing. If for some reason you must use decadic dialing, 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 Dialing” standard.

Number to be dialed: 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 dialing 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 connec-

tion 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.

used in the text. The Index quickly directs you to the information contained in this manual.

Conventions

This manual uses the following formats to describe, identify, and highlight terms and operating procedures.

Abbreviations

On first appearance, and whenever necessary for clarity, abbreviations are enclosed in parentheses following their definition. For example: Read Only Memory (ROM). Acronyms are also defined in the Glossary.

Icons

Icons identify ports, dials, and other parts of your computer. The indicator panel also uses icons to identify the components it is providing information on.

Keys

The keyboard keys are used in the text to describe many computer operations. A distinctive typeface identifies the key top symbols as they appear on the keyboard. For example, Enter identifies the Enter key.

xlviii

Conventions

Key operation

Some operations require you to simultaneously use two or more keys. We identify such operations by the key top symbols separated by a plus sign (+). For example, Ctrl + C means you must hold down Ctrl and at the same time press C. If three keys are used, hold down the first two and at the same time press the third.

ABC When procedures require an action such as clicking an icon or entering

text, the icon’s name or the text you are to type in is represented in the type face you see to the left.

Display

ABC Names of Windows® or icons or text generated by the computer that

appears on its display screen is presented in the type face you see to the left.

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.

Stress injury

Carefully read the Instruction Manual for Safety & Comfort. 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, 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 (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.

Also, if the AC adaptor has been used for a long time, avoid prolonged physical contact with the AC adaptor. It can become very warm.

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.

Setting up your work space

Establishing a comfortable work site is important for you and your computer. A poor work environment or stressful work habits can result in discomfort or serious injury from repetitive strain to your hands, wrists or other joints. Proper ambient conditions should also be maintained for the computer’s operation. This section discusses the following topics:

❑❑

❑ General conditions

❑❑ ❑❑

❑ Placement of the computer and peripheral devices

❑❑ ❑❑

❑ Seating and posture

❑❑ ❑❑

❑ Lighting

❑❑ ❑❑

❑ Work habits

❑❑

General conditions

In general, if you are comfortable, so is your computer, but read the following to make sure your work site provides a proper environment.

❑❑

❑ Make sure there is adequate space around the computer for proper

❑❑

GETTING STARTED

ventilation.

❑❑

❑ Make sure the AC power cord connects to an outlet that is close to the

❑❑

computer and easily accessible.

❑❑

❑ The temperature should be 5 to 35 degrees Centigrade (41 to 95 degrees

❑❑

Fahrenheit) and the relative humidity should be 20 to 80 percent.

❑❑

❑ Avoid areas where rapid or extreme changes in temperature or humidity

❑❑

may occur.

❑❑

❑ Keep the computer free of dust, moisture, and exposure to direct sunlight.

❑❑ ❑❑

❑ Keep the computer away from heat sources, such as electric heaters.

❑❑ ❑❑

❑ Do not use the computer near liquids or corrosive chemicals.

❑❑ ❑❑

❑ Do not place the computer near objects that create strong magnetic fields

❑❑

(e.g., stereo speakers).

❑❑

❑ Do not operate the computer in close proximity to a mobile phone.

❑❑

Placement of computer

Position the computer and peripheral devices to provide comfort and safety.

❑❑

❑ Set the computer on a flat surface at a comfortable height and distance.

❑❑

The display should be no higher than eye level to avoid eye strain.

3-2

❑❑

❑ Place the computer so that it is directly in front of you when you work and

❑❑

make sure you have adequate space to easily operate other devices.

❑❑

❑ Allow adequate space behind the computer to let you freely adjust the

❑❑

display. The display should be angled to reduce glare and maximize visibility.

❑❑

❑ If you use a paper holder, set it at about the same height and distance as

❑❑

the computer.

Seating and posture

The height of your chair in relation to the computer and keyboard as well as the support it gives your body are primary factors in reducing work strain. Refer to the following tips and to figure 3-1.

❑❑

❑ Place your chair so that the keyboard is at or slightly below the level of

❑❑

your elbow. You should be able to type comfortably with your shoulders relaxed.

❑❑

❑ Your knees should be slightly higher than your hips. If necessary, use a

❑❑

foot rest to raise the level of your knees to ease pressure on the back of your thighs.

❑❑

❑ Adjust the back of your chair so it supports the lower curve of your spine.

❑❑ ❑❑

❑ Sit straight so that your knees, hips and elbows form approximately 90

❑❑

degree angles when you work. Do not slump forward or lean back too far.

Lighting

Proper lighting can improve legibility of the display and reduce eye strain.

❑❑

❑ Position the computer so that sunlight or bright indoor lighting does not

❑❑

reflect off the screen. Use tinted windows, shades or other screen to eliminate sun glare.

❑❑

❑ Avoid placing the computer in front of bright light that could shine

❑❑

directly in your eyes.

❑❑

❑ If possible, use soft, indirect lighting in your computer work area. Use a

❑❑

lamp to illuminate your documents or desk, but be sure to position the lamp so that it does not reflect off the display or shine in your eyes.

Work habits

A key to avoiding discomfort or injury from repetitive strain is to vary your activities. If possible, schedule a variety of tasks into your work day. If you must spend long periods at the computer, finding ways to break up the routine can reduce stress and improve your efficiency.

❑❑

❑ Sit in a relaxed posture. Good positioning of your chair and equipment as

❑❑

GETTING STARTED

described earlier can reduce tension in your shoulders or neck and ease back strain.

❑❑

❑ Vary your posture frequently.

❑❑ ❑❑

❑ Occasionally stand up and stretch or exercise briefly.

❑❑ ❑❑

❑ Exercise and stretch your wrists and hands a number of times during the

❑❑

day.

❑❑

❑ Frequently, look away from the computer and focus your eyes on a

❑❑

distant object for several seconds, for example 30 seconds every 15 minutes.

❑❑

❑ Take frequent short breaks instead of one or two long breaks, for

❑❑

example, two or three minutes every half hour.

❑❑

❑ Have your eyes examined regularly and visit a doctor promptly, if you

❑❑

suspect you might be suffering from a repetitive strain injury.

A number of books are available on ergonomics and repetitive strain injury or repetitive stress syndrome. For more information on these topics or for pointers on exercises for such stress points as hands and wrists, please check with your library or book vendor. Also refer to the computer’s Instruction Manual for Safety & Comfort.
