Safety Instructions
Use the following safety guidelines to help protect yourself and your 
computer.
When Using Your Computer
Do not operate your portable computer for an extended period of time with 
the base resting directly on your body. With extended operation, heat can 
potentially build up in the base. Allowing sustained contact with the skin 
could cause discomfort or, eventually, a burn.
■Do not attempt to service the computer yourself. Always follow 
installation instructions closely.
■Do not carry a battery in your pocket, purse, or other container where 
metal objects (such as car keys) could short-circuit the battery terminals. 
The resulting excessive current follow can cause extremely high 
temperatures and may result in damage from burns.
■Be sure that nothing rests on your AC adapters power cable and that 
the cable is not located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.
■Place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, such as a desk top or on the 
floor, when you use it to run the computer or to charge the battery. Do 
not cover the AC adapter with papers or other items that will reduce 
cooling; also, do not use the AC adapter while it is inside a carrying case. 
■Use only the AC adapter and batteries that are approved for use with 
this computer. Use of another type of battery or AC adapter may risk fire 
or explosion. 
						

							iv Satellite P200/Satellite Pro P200
■Before you connect the computer to a power source, ensure that the 
voltage rating of the AC adapter matches that of the available power 
source.
115V/60Hz in most of North and South America and some Far Eastern 
countries such as Taiwan.
100 V/50Hz in eastern Japan and 100 V/60Hz in western Japan.
230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East.
■If you use an extension cable with your AC adapter, ensure that the total 
ampere rating of the products that are plugged into it do not exceed the 
ampere rating of the extension cable itself.
■To help avoid the potential hazard of electric shock, do not connect or 
disconnect any cables or perform maintenance or reconfiguration of this 
product during an electrical storm.
■When setting up the computer for work, place it on a level surface.
■Do not dispose of batteries in a fire. They may explode. Check with local 
authorities for disposal instructions.
■When travelling, do not check the computer as baggage. You can put 
your computer through an X-ray security machine, but never put your 
computer through a metal detector. If you have the computer checked 
by hand, be sure to have a charged battery available in case you are 
asked to turn on the computer.
■When travelling with the hard drive removed from the computer, wrap 
the drive in a non-conducting material, such as cloth or paper. If you 
have the drive checked by hand, be ready to install the drive in the 
computer. Your can put the hard drive through an X-ray security 
machine, but never put it through a metal detector.
■When travelling, do not place the computer in overhead storage 
compartments where it could slide around. Do not drop your computer 
or subject it to other mechanical shocks.
■Protect your computer, battery, and hard drive from environmental 
hazards such as dirt, dust, food, liquids, temperature extremes, and 
overexposure to sunlight.
■When you move your computer between environments with very 
different temperature and/or humidity ranges, condensation may form 
on or within the computer. To avoid damaging the computer, allow 
sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate before using the computer.
■When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain relief 
loop, not on the cable itself. As you pull out the connector, keep it evenly 
aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you connect 
a cable make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and aligned.
■Before you clean your computer, turn if off, unplug it from its power 
source, and remove the battery.
■Handle components with care. Hold a component such as a memory 
module by its edges, not its pins. 
						

							Satellite P200/Satellite Pro P200 v
■Do not use this product near water, for example, near a bathtub, washing 
bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a swimming 
pool.
■Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical 
storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
■Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
■Use only the power cord indicated in this manual.
■Replace only with the same or equivalent type battery recommended by 
the manufacturer.
■Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturers instructions.
■To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger 
telecommunication line cord.
TOSHIBA assumes no liability for any damage in such case.
