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, damage to the 
computer or impaired performance. 
Be certain to read the general precautions below and to note the cautions 
included in the text of the manual. Please also refer to the Safety 
Instruction Manual. 
Stress injury 
Carefully read the Safety Instruction Manual. It contains information on 
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. 
Heat Warning 
■ 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 (if you rest the computer on 
your lap, or if you keep your hands on the palm rest, for example) your 
skin might suffer low-heat injury. 
■ If the computer has been used for a long time, avoid direct contact 
with the metal plate supporting the I/O ports. It can become hot. 
■ The surface of the AC adaptor can become hot when in use. This 
condition does not indicate a malfunction. If you need to transport the 
AC adaptor, disconnect it and let it cool before moving it. 
■ Do not lay the AC adaptor on a material that is sensitive to heat. The 
material could be damaged. 
Pressure or impact damage 
Do not apply heavy pressure to the computer or subject it to strong 
impact. Excessive pressure or impact can cause damage to computer 
components or otherwise cause malfunctions. 
PC card overheating 
Some PC cards can become hot with prolonged use. Overheating of a PC 
card can result in errors or instability in the PC card operation. Also be 
careful when you remove a PC card that has been used for a long time.

Mobile phone 
Use of mobile phones can interfere with the audio system. Computer 
operation is not impaired but it is recommended that a distance of 30 cm 
be maintained between the computer and a mobile phone in use. 
Central Processing Unit (CPU) Performance Disclaimer 
CPU performance in your computer product may vary from specifications 
under the following conditions: 
■ Use of certain peripheral products 
■ Use of battery power instead of AC power 
■ Use of certain multimedia games or videos with special effects 
■ Use of standard telephone lines or low speed network connections 
■ Use of complex modelling software, such as high end computer aided 
design applications 
■ Use of the computer in areas with low air pressure (high altitude > 
1,000 meters or > 3,280 feet above sea level) 
■ Use of the computer at temperatures outside the range of 5°C to 35°C 
(41°F to 95°F) or > 25°C (77°F) at high altitude (all temperature 
references are approximate). 
CPU performance may also vary from specifications due to design 
configuration. 
Under some conditions, your computer product may automatically shut 
down. This is a normal protective feature designed to reduce the risk of 
lost data or damage to the product when used outside recommended 
conditions. To avoid risk of lost data, always make back-up copies of 
data by periodically storing it on an external storage medium. For 
optimum performance, use your computer product only under 
recommended conditions. Read additional restrictions under 
Environmental requirements in Appendix A, Specifications. Contact 
TOSHIBA Technical Service and Support for more information. 
CE compliance

EMC (Electromagnetic compatibility) and safety standards. However, 
TOSHIBA should not guarantee that this product still observes these EMC 
standards if options or cables not produced by TOSHIBA are connected 
or implemented. In this case the persons who have connected / 
implemented those options / cables have to assure that the system 
(PC plus options / cables) still fulfils the required standards. To avoid in 
general EMC problems following advice should be observed: 
Only CE marked options should be connected / implemented 
Only best shielded cables should be connected
