Placement of computer

Position the computer and peripheral devices to provide comfort and safety. Set the computer on a flat surface at a comfortable height and distance. The display should be no higher than eye level to avoid eye strain.
Place the computer so that it is directly in front of you when you work and make sure you have adequate space to easily operate other devices. Allow adequate space behind the computer to let you freely adjust the display. The display should be angled to reduce glare and maximize visibility. If you use a paper holder, set it at about the same height and distance as the computer.

Seating and posture

The height of your chair in relation to the computer and keyboard as well as the support it gives your body are primary factors in reducing work strain. Refer to the following tips and to figure 3-1.

BELOW EYE LEVEL

FOOT REST

90O ANGLES

Figure 3-1 Posture and positioning of the computer Place your chair so that the keyboard is at or slightly below the level of your elbow. You should be able to type comfortably with your shoulders relaxed. Your knees should be slightly higher than your hips. If necessary, use a foot rest to raise the level of your knees to ease pressure on the back of your thighs. Adjust the back of your chair so it supports the lower curve of your spine. Sit straight so that your knees, hips and elbows form approximately 90 degree angles when you work. Do not slump forward or lean back too far.

Lighting

Proper lighting can improve legibility of the display and reduce eye strain. Position the computer so that sunlight or bright indoor lighting does not reflect off the screen. Use tinted windows, shades or other screen to eliminate sun glare. Avoid placing the computer in front of bright light that could shine directly in your eyes. If possible, use soft, indirect lighting in your computer work area. Use a lamp to illuminate your documents or desk, but be sure to position the lamp so that it does not reflect off the display or shine in your eyes.

Work habits

A key to avoiding discomfort or injury from repetitive strain is to vary your activities. If possible, schedule a variety of tasks into your work day. If you must spend long periods at the computer, finding ways to break up the routine can reduce stress and improve your efficiency. Sit in a relaxed posture. Good positioning of your chair and equipment as described earlier can reduce tension in your shoulders or neck and ease back strain. Vary your posture frequently. Occasionally stand up and stretch or exercise briefly. Exercise and stretch your wrists and hands a number of times during the day. Frequently, look away from the computer and focus your eyes on a distant object for several seconds, for example 30 seconds every 15 minutes. Take frequent short breaks instead of one or two long breaks, for example, two or three minutes every half hour. Have your eyes examined regularly and visit a doctor promptly, if you suspect you might be suffering from a repetitive strain injury.

Chapter 5

The Keyboard

THE KEYBOARD

The computers keyboard layouts are compatible with a 101/102-key enhanced keyboard. By pressing some keys in combination, all the 101/102-key keyboard functions can be executed on the computer. The number of keys on your keyboard depends on which country/regions keyboard layout your computer is configured with. Keyboards for numerous languages are available. There are five types of keys: typewriter keys, keypad overlay, function keys, soft keys and cursor control keys.

Typewriter keys

The typewriter keys, produce the upper- and lowercase letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and special symbols that appear on the screen. There are some differences, however, between using a typewriter and using a computer keyboard: Letters and numbers produced in computer text vary in width. Spaces, which are created by a space character, may also vary depending on line justification and other factors. The lowercase l (el) and the number 1 (one) are not interchangeable on computers as they are on a typewriter. The uppercase O (oh) and the 0 (zero) are not interchangeable. The Caps Lock function key locks only the alphabetic characters in uppercase while the shift lock on a typewriter places all keys in the shifted position. The Shift keys, the Tab key, and the BkSp (backspace) key perform the same function as their typewriter counterparts but also have special computer functions.

F1 F12 function keys

The function keys, not to be confused with Fn, are the 12 keys at the top of your keyboard. These keys are dark gray, but function differently from the other dark gray keys.
F1 through F12 are called function keys because they execute programmed functions when pressed. Used in combination with the Fn key, keys marked with icons execute specific functions on the computer. See the section, Soft keys: Fn key combinations, in this chapter. The function executed by individual keys depends on the software you are using.
Soft keys: Fn key combinations
The Fn (function) is unique to Toshiba computers and is used in combination with other keys to form soft keys. Soft keys are key combinations that enable, disable or configure specific features. NOTE: Some software may disable or interfere with soft-key operations. Soft-key settings are not restored by the Resume feature.

Charging the batteries

When the power in the battery pack becomes low, the Battery indicator flashes orange indicating that only a few minutes of battery power remain. If you continue to use the computer while the Battery indicator flashes, the computer enables Resume mode (so you dont lose data) and automatically turns off. You must recharge a battery pack when it becomes discharged.

Procedures

To recharge a battery pack while it is installed in the computer, connect the AC adaptor to the DC IN socket and plug the other end into a working outlet. The Battery indicator glows orange when the battery is being charged. CAUTION: Use only the computer connected to an AC power source or the optional TOSHIBA Battery charger to charge the battery pack. Do not attempt to charge the battery pack with any other charger.
The following table shows the approximate time required to fully charge a discharged battery. Charging time (hours) Battery type Main battery pack Secondary battery pack RTC battery Power on 3.0 to 9.0 or longer 3.0 to 7.5 or longer 8 Power off 2.5 2.5 Doesnt charge

Battery charging notice

The battery may not charge right away under the following conditions: The battery is extremely hot or cold. If the battery is extremely hot, it might not charge at all. Also, to ensure the battery charges to its full capacity, charge the battery at room temperature of 10 to 30C (50 to 88F). The battery is nearly completely discharged. Leave the AC adaptor connected for a few minutes and the battery should begin charging.
The Battery indicator may show a rapid decrease in battery operating time when you try to charge a battery under the following conditions: The battery has not been used for a long time. The battery has completely discharged and been left in the computer for a long time. A cool battery is installed in a warm computer.
In such case, follow the steps below. 1. Fully discharge the battery by leaving it in the computer with the power on until the power automatically shuts off. 2. Plug in the AC adaptor. 3. Charge the battery until the Battery indicator glows green. Repeat the steps two or three times until the battery recovers normal capacity.
Monitoring battery capacity
Remaining battery power can be monitored in the Power Save Modes window in Power Saver of Windows. NOTES: 1. Wait at least 16 seconds after turning on the computer before trying to monitor the remaining operating time. The computer needs this time to check the batterys remaining capacity and to calculate the remaining operating time, based on the current power consumption rate and remaining battery capacity. The actual remaining operating time may differ slightly from the calculated time. 2. With repeated discharges and recharges, the batterys capacity will gradually decrease. Therefore, an often used, older battery will not operate for as long as a new battery even when both are fully charged. In this case, Power Saver Utility will indicate a 100% charge for both the old and new battery, but the displayed estimated time remaining will be shorter for the older battery.

Replacing the battery pack
When the battery pack reaches the end of its operating life you will need to install a new one. The life of the battery pack is generally about 500 recharges. If the Battery indicator flashes orange shortly after fully recharging the battery, the battery pack needs to be replaced. You might also replace a discharged battery pack with a charged spare when you are operating your computer away from an AC power source. This section explains how to remove and install battery packs.
Removing the battery pack
To replace a discharged battery pack, follow the steps below. CAUTION: When handling battery packs, be careful not to short circuit the terminals. Also do not drop, hit or otherwise apply impact; do not scratch or break the casing and do not twist or bend the battery pack. 1. Save your work. 2. Turn the computers power off. Make sure the Power indicator is off. 3. Remove all cables connected to the computer. 4. Turn the computer upside down with the back of the computer facing you. 5. Slide the battery pack lock to the unlock position. 6. Slide the battery release latch to free the battery pack for removal. 7. Pull the battery pack forward to remove it.

Appendix D

S-registers
S-registers contain the settings that determine how a number of functions of the internal modem operate. For example, how many times to let the telephone ring before the modem answers and how long to wait before it hangs up if a connection fails. You can also customize certain AT commands such as the escape sequence and command line termination. The contents of the registers are changed automatically when you modify corresponding settings in your communication software. If you choose, however, you can display and edit the contents of the registers manually when the modem is in command mode. If the value is out of the acceptable range, then an error is generated. This chapter describes the settings for each S-register.

S-register values

The format for displaying the value of an S-register is: ATSn? where n is the register number. After you type in the register press Enter. The format for modifying the value of an S-register is: ATSn=r where n is the register number, and r is the new register value. After you type in the register and its new value press Enter. NOTE: Some registers vary from one country/region to another.

APPENDIX D

S0 Auto answer ring number
This register determines the number of rings the modem will count before automatically answering a call. Enter 0 (zero) if you do not want the modem to automatically answer at all. When disabled, the modem can only answer with an ATA command. Range: 0-255 Default: 0 Units: rings

S1 Ring counter

This register is read only. The value of S1 is incremented with each ring. If no ring occurs over a six-second interval, this register is cleared. Range: 0-225 Default: 0 Units: rings
S2 AT escape character (user defined)
This register determines the ASCII values used for an escape sequence. The default is the + character. The escape sequence allows the modem to exit data mode and enter command mode when on-line. Values greater than 127 disable the escape sequence. Range: 0-255, ASCII decimal Default: 43 Units: ASCII
S3 Command line termination character (user defined)
This register determines the ASCII values as the carriage return character. This character is used to end command lines and result codes. Range: 0-127, ASCII decimal Default: 13 (carriage return) Units: ASCII
Appendix D S4 Response formatting character (user defined)
This register determines the ASCII value used as the line feed character. The modem uses a line feed character in command mode when it responds to the computer. Range: 0-127, ASCII decimal Default: 10 (line feed) Units: ASCII

S5 Command line editing character (user defined)
This register sets the character recognized as a backspace and pertains to asynchronous only. The modem will not recognize the backspace character if it is set to a value that is greater than 32 ASCII. This character can be used to edit a command line. When the echo command is enabled, the modem echoes back to the local DTE the backspace character, an ASCII space character, and a second backspace character. This means a total of three characters are transmitted each time the modem processes the backspace character. Range: 0-127, ASCII decimal Default: 8 (backspace) Units: ASCII

S6 Wait before dialing

This register sets the length of time, in seconds, that the modem must wait (pause) after going off-hook before dialing the first digit of the telephone number. The modem always pauses for a minimum of two seconds, even if the value of S6 is less that two seconds. The wait for dial tone call progress feature (W dial modifier in the dial string) will override the value in register S6. This operation, however, may be affected by some ATX options according to country/region restrictions. In some countries/regions, S6 will set dial tone detect time. Range: 3-255 Default: 3 Units: seconds
S7 Connection completion time-out
This register sets the time, in seconds, that the modem must wait before hanging up because carrier is not detected. The timer is started when the modem finishes dialing (originate), or goes off-hook (answer). In originate mode, the timer is reset upon detection of an answer tone if allowed by county restriction. The timer also specifies the wait for silence time for the @ dial modifier in seconds. S7 is not associated with the W dial modifier. Range: 1-255 Default: 50 Units: seconds

S8 Comma pause time

This register sets the time, in seconds, that the modem must pause when it encounters a comma (,) in the dial command string. In some countries/regions, S8 will set both wait before dialing and comma pause time. Range: 0-255 Default: 2 Units: seconds

S11 DTMF dialing speed

This register determines the dialing speed which is prefixed for each country/region. Range: 50-255 Default: 95 Units:.001 seconds

S12 Escape guard time

This register sets the value (in 20 millisecond increments) for the required pause after the escape sequence. Range: 0-255 Default: 50 Units:.02 seconds
