Connecting to a power source
Connecting to a power source
Toshiba recommends you use the USB power cable 
included with your device and an optional compatible 
USB/AC adaptor. A compatible USB/AC adaptor is 
available for purchase at toshiba.com/us.
Your device requires power to operate. Use the provided 
USB power cable and separate optional compatible USB/AC 
adaptor to connect the device to a live electrical outlet to 
charge the device’s battery. 
Always confirm that the power plug (and extension cable 
plug if used) has been fully inserted into the socket, to 
ensure a secure electrical connection. Failure to do so 
may result in a fire or electric shock, possibly resulting in 
serious injury.
Be careful if you use a multiple connector. An overload on 
one socket could cause a fire or electric shock, possibly 
resulting in serious injury.
Always use a compatible Toshiba USB/AC adaptor with 
your device, or use USB/AC adaptors specified by 
Toshiba to avoid any risk of fire or other damage to the 
device. Use of an incompatible USB/AC adaptor could 
cause fire or damage to the device possibly resulting in 
serious injury. TOSHIBA assumes no liability for any 
damage caused by use of an incompatible adaptor.
To connect AC power to the device:
1Connect the USB power cable to an optional compatible 
USB/AC adaptor.
Handling the cord on this product will expose you to 
lead, a chemical known to the State of California to 
cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. 
Wash hands after handling.
2Plug the USB power cable into the Micro USB port on 
the device.

injury.
Charging the battery
The device’s battery is not accessible by the user.
If the device is leaking or its case is cracked, put on

Your device contains a rechargeable battery that may need 
to be charged prior to use.
To charge the battery you must attach the provided USB 
power cable to a USB port on your powered on computer. 
While connected, your computer must be turned ON and 
plugged into a power source. 
Battery life and charge time may vary depending on the 
external conditions, or the applications and features 
used.

Using the device for the first time
USB Charge—In “Sleep mode,” you can also charge your 
tablet, although more slowly, by connecting the USB power 
cable to the USB port on another computer. Please make 
sure your computer is turned ON while charging via USB. If 
your computer is turned OFF, depending on the computer’s 
specifications, the tablet battery may discharge. Toshiba 
recommends that you do not use your tablet while charging 
via USB as auto shut down may occur if the battery charge is 
too low.
Using the device for the first time
The device is now ready for you to turn it on and begin using 
it, see “Exploring Your Device’s Features” on page 65.

adaptor, if you plan to use AC power rather than battery
