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 specifically configured 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 your 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
■AT&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. 
						

							xxii Satellite P200/Satellite Pro P200
■Some parameters required for compliance with Telecoms 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 dialling 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 dealing 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 dialling is to use DTMF tones (ATDT...) as this 
is faster and more reliable than pulse (decadic) dialling. If for some 
reason you must use decadic dealing, 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 Dialling 
standard.
Number to be dialled: 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 dealing 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. 
						

							Satellite P200/Satellite Pro P200 xxiii
■It is recommended that this equipment be disconnected from the 
Telecom line during electrical storms.
■When relocating the equipment, always disconnect the Telecom line 
connection 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 CALL OUT CAUSED BY ANY OF THE ABOVE
CAUSES MAY INCUR A CHARGE FROM TELECOM )

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.
Creating a computer-friendly environment
Place the computer on a flat surface that is large enough for the computer 
and any other items you are using, such as a printer.
Leave enough space around the computer and other equipment to provide 
adequate ventilation. Otherwise, they may overheat.
To keep your computer in prime operating condition, protect your work area 
from:
■Dust, moisture, and direct sunlight.
■Equipment that generates a strong electromagnetic field, such as stereo 
speakers (other than speakers that are connected to the computer) or 
speakerphones.
■Rapid changes in temperature or humidity and sources of temperature 
change such as air conditioner vents or heaters.
■Extreme heat, cold, or humidity.
■Liquids and corrosive chemicals.
Stress injury
Carefully read the Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort. It contains 
information on the prevention of stress injuries to your hands and wrists that 
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. 
						

							Satellite P200/Satellite Pro P200 xxv
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, for example if you rest the computer 
on your lap or if you keep your hands on the palm rest, your skin might 
suffer a low-heat injury.
■If the computer has been used for a long time, avoid direct contact with 
the metal plate supporting the various interface ports as this can become 
hot.
■The surface of the AC adaptor can become hot when in use but this 
condition does not indicate a malfunction. If you need to transport the 
AC adaptor, you should disconnect it and let it cool before moving it.
■Do not lay the AC adaptor on a material that is sensitive to heat as the 
material could become damaged.
Pressure or impact damage
Do not apply heavy pressure to the computer or subject it to any form of 
s t r o n g  i m p a c t  a s  t h i s  c a n  d a m a g e  t he computers components or otherwise 
cause it to malfunction.
PC Card overheating
Some PC Cards can become hot during prolonged use which may result in 
errors or instability in the operation of the device in question. In addition, 
you should also be careful when you remove a PC Card that has been used 
for a long time.
Mobile phones
Please be aware that the use of mobile phones can interfere with the audio 
system. The operation of the computer will not be impaired in any way, but 
it is recommended that a minimum distance of 30cm is maintained between 
the computer and a mobile phone that is in use.
Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort
All important information on the safe and proper use of this computer is 
described in the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort. Be 
sure to read it before using the computer.
