password to decrypt your tablet each time you power it 
on, see “Securing your tablet” on page 40.
If you choose to set a password (with or without 
encryption), Toshiba strongly recommends that you write

Toshiba is not responsible for any losses that may occur, 
as a result of the inability to access your device.
❖

❖
Device administrators—Under Device administration, 
touch open a screen with a list of the applications you 
have authorized to be administrators for your tablet. This 
is typically an email, calendar, or other enterprise 
application that you granted this authority to, when you 
added an account hosted by an enterprise service that 
requires the ability to implement security policies on any 
devices that connect to it. Touch an application in this 
list to disable its authority to be a device administrator; if 
you do, the account you added will typically lose some 
functionality in its applications, such as the ability to 
sync new email or calendar events, until you restore the 
application’s authority as a device administrator. 
Applications whose device administration authority you 
disable in this way, but that have accounts that require 
them to be device administrators, typically notify you 
how to restore their authority when you try to use them, 
unless you delete those accounts.
