Precautions

Your device 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 device.

❖ Turning off the device while it is reading from or writing

to flash media may damage the flash media.

❖ Keep the device and disks away from objects that

generate strong magnetic fields, such as large stereo speakers.

❖ 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 virus. You need a special program to check for viruses.

Keep this device away from small children. This device is not a toy and may be hazardous to small children, for example, small detachable parts may be a choking hazard. Improper use of device could result in loud volume emitting from the device possibly causing hearing damage, and improper use and handling of batteries could result in possible injury.

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

File management tips

❖ Back up your files to external media on a regular basis.

Label the backup copies clearly and store them in a safe place.

As you work with data it exists in the device’s memory. This memory is called “volatile memory” because it is only active while the device is turned on. When you turn off the device, all the data remaining in volatile memory is lost. To help avoid data loss, save your work to Internal Storage or network storage. Your work (data) will remain in internal storage to be called up when you need it. As long as the internal storage remains healthy, your data is relatively safe. However on occasion, hardware failures do happen. If you experience a hardware failure, your data could be lost. As an extra step to help avoid data loss, back up your data. See “Backing up your

work” on page 66 for more information.

❖ Scan all new files for viruses.

This precaution is especially important for files you receive via external media, email, or download from the Internet.

Adjusting touchpad settings

While you are typing, the on-screen pointer may seem to move or jump around “by itself” to random locations on the screen. The on-screen pointer may also seem to automatically select text, click buttons, and activate other user interface elements. For help with these problems, try one or more of the following:

❖ Try adjusting your typing technique to avoid accidental

contact with the touchpad. You may be inadvertently brushing the touchpad with the heel of your hand as you type. Also, accidental light touches or taps on the touchpad may select an item or text on the screen, and potentially the item or text may be replaced by the next character you type.

❖ Temporarily disable the touchpad, so that it does not

respond to touch or button presses while you type. See

“Disabling or enabling the touchpad” on page 54.

❖ Adjust the sensitivity of the touchpad, so that it is less

responsive to accidental light taps and lighter finger pressure.

Chapter 2

Learning the Basics

This chapter gives some computing tips and provides important information about basic features.

Computing tips

❖ Save your work frequently.

Your work stays in the device’s temporary memory until you save it to the internal storage drive. If the network you are using goes down and you must restart your device to reconnect, or your battery runs out of charge while you are working, you will lose all work since you last saved.

See “Saving your work” on page 65 for further information.

HINT: Some programs have an automatic save feature that can be activated. This feature saves your file to the internal storage drive at preset intervals. See your software documentation for details.

Learning the Basics

Computing tips

❖ Back up your files to external media on a regular basis.

Label the backup copies clearly and store them in a safe place.

It is easy to put off backing up because it takes time. However, if your internal storage drive suddenly fails, you will lose all the data on it unless you have a separate backup copy. For more information, see “Data and

system configuration backup in the Windows operating system” on page 144.

❖ Use Error-checking and Disk Defragmenter regularly to

check and optimize disk space and improve performance.

❖ Scan all new files for viruses.

This precaution is especially important for files you receive via external media, email, or download from the Internet.

❖ Take frequent breaks to avoid repetitive-motion injuries

and eyestrain.

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

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

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

NOTE

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

Chapter 3

Mobile Computing

This chapter covers all aspects of using your device while traveling.

Toshiba’s energy-saver design

Your device enters a low-power suspension mode when it is not being used, thereby conserving energy and saving money in the process. It has a number of other features that enhance its energy efficiency.

Many of these energy-saving features have been preset by Toshiba. We recommend you leave these features active, allowing your device to operate at its maximum energy efficiency, so that you can use it for longer periods while traveling.

Running the device on battery power

The device contains a Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery that provides power when you are away from an AC outlet. You can recharge it many times.

Mobile Computing

Running the device on battery power

Battery Notice

Battery life rating is for comparison purposes only, and does not indicate the battery life that will be obtained by any individual user. Actual battery life may vary considerably from specifications depending on product model, configuration, applications, power management settings and features utilized, as well as the natural performance variations produced by the design of individual components. The battery life rating is only achieved on the select models and configurations tested by Toshiba under the specific test settings at the time of publication and is not an estimate of a system’s battery life under any conditions other than the specific test settings.

Recharge time varies depending on usage. Battery may not charge while the device is consuming full power. After a period of time, the battery will lose its ability to perform at maximum capacity and will need to be replaced. This is normal for all batteries.

To ensure that the battery maintains its maximum capacity, operate the device on battery power at least once a month. The Lithium-Ion battery has no memory effect so it is not necessary to let the battery fully discharge each time. However, for better accuracy of the battery meter, it is helpful to fully discharge the battery periodically. Please see

“Maintaining your battery” on page 76 for procedures. If the

device is continuously operated on AC power, either through a Micro USB/AC adaptor or a port replicator (if applicable to your system), for an extended period (more than a month), the battery may fail to retain a charge. This may shorten the life of the battery, and may cause the battery meter to be inaccurate.

NOTE

The device may also have an internal real-time-clock (RTC) battery.

For best performance when playing streaming media (especially streaming video), either power the device from its Micro USB/AC adaptor, or set up a power plan that keeps the device running at full performance even when powered from its battery. For more information about Windows power plans, see “Power Plans” on page 73.

The RTC battery powers the RTC memory that stores your system configuration settings and the current time and date information. It maintains this information for up to a month while the device is turned off.

TECHNICAL NOTE: Depending on your system, the RTC battery may only charge while the device is turned on.

Power management

Your device ships with the power management options preset to a configuration that will provide the most stable operating environment and optimum system performance for both AC power and battery modes.

Changes to these settings may result in system performance or stability issues. Users who are not completely familiar with the power management component of the system should use the preset configuration. For assistance with setup changes, contact Toshiba’s Customer Support Center.

Mobile Computing

Charging the main battery

If the device is leaking or its case is cracked, put on protective gloves to handle it.

The battery needs to be charged before you can use it to power the device.

Always use the Micro USB/AC adaptor specified by Toshiba. You can order a Toshiba Micro USB/AC adaptor from Toshiba’s Web site at accessories.toshiba.com.

NOTE

Your device’s battery is not accessible to the user.

Battery charge time may vary depending on the applications, power management settings, and features used.

Mobile Computing

Charging the main battery

TECHNICAL NOTE: The recharging of the tablet’s battery may not occur when your device is using all of the power provided by the Micro USB/AC adaptor to run applications, features, and devices. Your device's Power Options utility can be used to select a power level setting that reduces the power required for system operation and will allow the battery to recharge.

To charge the main battery, plug the device into a live electrical outlet. The battery charges whether the device is on or off.

The battery may not start charging immediately under the following conditions:

❖ A battery is extremely hot or cold.

To ensure that the battery charges to its full capacity,

wait until it reaches room temperature (50 to 80 degrees

Fahrenheit, 10 to 26 degrees Celsius).

❖ The battery is almost completely discharged.

Leave the power connected and the battery should

begin charging after a few minutes.

HINT: Once the battery is fully charged, we recommend that you periodically operate your device on battery power until the battery discharges completely.

Please make a complete back up of your data to external media before discharging the tablet’s battery. For more information, see “Backing up your work” on page 66.

Charging the RTC battery

Your device may have an internal real-time clock (RTC) battery. The RTC battery powers the System Time Clock and BIOS memory used to store your device’s configuration settings. When fully charged, it maintains this information for up to a month when the device is powered off.

The RTC battery may have become completely discharged while your device was shipped, resulting in a CMOS error message during startup. The error message may vary by device model.

Mobile Computing

Charging the main battery

NOTE

To recharge the RTC battery, plug the device into a live electrical outlet and leave the device powered on for 24 hours.

NOTE

The device can be used while the RTC battery is being charged, although the charging status of the RTC battery cannot be monitored.

Depending on your system, the RTC battery may only charge while the device is turned on.

It is seldom necessary to charge the RTC battery because it charges while the device is on. If the RTC battery is low, the real-time clock and calendar may display the incorrect time and date or stop working.

When the RTC battery is completely discharged, a warning prompts you to reset the real-time clock.

Determining remaining battery power

NOTE

Wait a few moments after turning on the device before trying to monitor the remaining battery power. The device needs this time to check the battery’s remaining capacity and perform its calculations.

Click or touch the

“Finding your way around the desktop” on page 79 for more

information on the notification area. A pop-up message displays the remaining battery power as a percentage.

With repeated discharges and recharges, the battery’s capacity gradually decreases. A frequently used older battery does not power the device for as long as a new battery, even when both are fully charged.

TECHNICAL NOTE: The device drains the battery faster at low temperatures. Check your remaining charge frequently if you are working in temperatures below 50 degrees Fahrenheit.

The device calculates the remaining battery charge based on your current rate of power use and other factors such as the age of the battery.

Conserving battery power

How long a fully charged battery lasts when you are using the device depends on a number of factors, such as:

❖ How the device is configured ❖ How much you use the internal storage drive, optional

external writable optical disc drive, or other optional devices

❖ Where you are working, since operating time decreases

at low temperatures

There are various ways in which you can conserve power and extend the operating time of your battery:

❖ Enable Sleep, which saves power when you turn off the

device and turn it back on again

❖ Use the Windows power-saving option plans

These power-saving options control the way in which the device is configured. By using them, you can increase the length of time you can use the device before you need to recharge the battery.

Microsoft has combined these options into preset Power Plans. Using one of these power plans lets you choose between maximum power savings and peak system performance. You may also set individual power-saving options to suit your own needs.
