Using your tablet 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 tablet. It is intended to help
you be more comfortable and productive while using a tablet. By following
the recommendations in it you may 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 tablet. It covers
the following topics: Connecting the AC adaptor
Turning on the power
Initial setup
Use a virus-check program and make sure it is updated regularly.
Never format storage media without checking its content - formatting
destroys all stored data. It is a good idea to periodically back up the internal storage of the
tablet to external media. General storage media is not durable or
stable over long periods of time and under certain conditions may
result in data loss. User's Manual
2- 2     
						

							Before you install a device or application, save any data in memory to
the internal storage or other storage media. Failure to do so may result
in the loss of data.
Connecting the AC adaptor Attach the AC adaptor when you need to charge the battery or you want to
operate from AC power. It is also the fastest way to get started, because
the battery pack will need to be charged before you can operate from
battery power.
The AC adaptor can automatically adjust to any voltage ranging from 100
to 240 volts and to a frequency of either 50 or 60 hertz, enabling you to use
this tablet in almost any country/region. The adaptor converts AC power to
DC power and reduces the voltage supplied to this tablet. Always use the TOSHIBA AC adaptor that was included with your
tablet, or use AC adaptors specified by TOSHIBA to avoid any risk of
fire or other damage to the tablet. Use of an incompatible AC adaptor
could cause fire or damage to the tablet 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 not
correspond to both the voltage and the frequency specified on the
regulatory label of the unit. Failure to do so could result in a fire or
electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury. Always use or purchase power cables that comply with the legal
voltage 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 tablet is bought and should not be used outside this
region. For use in other regions, please 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 tablet, 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. User's Manual

							Never place your tablet or AC adaptor on a wooden surface, furniture,
or any other surface that could be marred by exposure to heat since
the tablet base and AC adaptor's surface increase in temperature
during normal use. Always place your tablet or AC adaptor on a flat and hard surface that
is resistant to heat damage.
Refer to the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort for
detailed precautions and handling instructions.

							Sleep Mode
If you have to interrupt your work, you are able to turn off the power without
exiting from your software by placing the tablet into Sleep Mode. In this
mode data is maintained in the tablet's main memory so that when you turn
on the power again, you can continue working right where you left off. Your system supports Connected Standby function, which starts working
after your tablet goes into Sleep Mode. Connected Standby function is to
provide a constant connectivity while delivering long battery life, and at the
same time, some activities are allowed to run to ensure that the supported
Connected Standby scenarios (for example, receiving emails, updating tiles
alive with fresh content, downloading/uploading a file from/to a website,
and playing music) are functioning properly. When you have to turn off your tablet aboard an aircraft or in places where
electronic devices are regulated or controlled, always completely shut
down the tablet. This includes turning off any wireless communication
functionalities, and cancelling settings that reactivate the tablet
automatically, such as a timer recording function. Failure to completely shut
down the tablet in this way could allow the operating system to reactivate
and run pre-programmed tasks or preserve unsaved data, which could
interfere with aviation or other systems, possibly causing serious injury. Before entering Sleep Mode, be sure to save your data.
Do not switch to Sleep Mode while transferring data to external media,
such as USB devices, memory media or other external memory
devices. Data will be lost.
When the AC adaptor is connected, the tablet will go into Sleep Mode
according to the settings in the Power Options (to access it, tap
Desktop Assist
 -> Control Panel -> System and Security -> Power 
Options  on the desktop). To restore the operation of the tablet from Sleep Mode, press the
power button.
If the tablet enters Sleep Mode while a network application is active,
the application might not be restored when the tablet is next turned on
and the system returns from Sleep Mode. To prevent the tablet from automatically entering Sleep Mode, disable
Sleep Mode within the Power Options.
