Using your computer for the first time
Be sure to read the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort for
information on the safe and proper use of this computer. It is intended to
help you be more comfortable and productive while using a notebook computer. By following the recommendations in it, you can reduce your chance of developing a painful or disabling injury to your hand, arms,shoulders, or neck.
This section provides basic information to start using your computer. It
covers the following topics:
Connecting the AC adaptor
Opening the display
Turning on the power
Initial setup
Use a virus-check program and make sure that it is updated regularly.
Never format storage media without checking its content - formatting
destroys all stored data.
It is a good idea to back up the internal Hard Disk Drive or other main
storage device to external media periodically. General storage media is not durable or stable over long periods of time and under certain conditions might result in data loss.
Before you install a device or application, save any data in memory to
the Hard Disk Drive or other storage media. Failure to do so might
result in data loss.
Connecting the AC adaptor
Attach the AC adaptor when you want to charge the battery or operate fromAC power. The battery pack must be charged before you can operate from
battery power.
User's Manual 2-2   
						

							The AC adaptor can automatically adjust to any voltage ranging from 100
volts to 240 volts and to a frequency of either 50 hertz or 60 hertz, enabling you to use this computer in almost any country/region. The adaptor
converts AC power to DC power and reduces the voltage supplied to this
computer.Always use the TOSHIBA AC adaptor that was included with your
computer, or use AC adaptors specified by TOSHIBA to avoid any risk
of fire or other damage to the computer. Use of an incompatible AC
adaptor could cause fire or damage to the computer possibly resulting in serious injury. TOSHIBA assumes no liability for any damage caused by use of an incompatible adaptor.
Never plug the AC adaptor into a power source that does notcorrespond to both the voltage and the frequency specified on the regulatory label of the unit. Failure to do so could result in a fire orelectric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.
Always use or purchase power cables that comply with the legalvoltage and frequency specifications and requirements in the country of use. Failure to do so could result in a fire or electric shock, possibly
resulting in serious injury.
The supplied power cord conforms to safety rules and regulations in
the region the computer is bought and should not be used outside this
region. For use in other regions, buy power cords that conform to
safety rules and regulations in the particular region.
Do not use a 3-pin to 2-pin conversion plug.
When you connect the AC adaptor to the computer, always follow the
steps in the exact order as described in this User’s Manual.
Connecting the power cable to a live electrical outlet should be the last
step otherwise the adaptor 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.
Never place your computer or AC adaptor on a wooden surface, furniture, or any other surface that could be marred by exposure to heat since the computer base and the surface of the AC adaptor increase in temperature during normal use.
Always place your computer or AC adaptor on a flat and hard surface
that is resistant to heat damage.
