Information on the secure writing of optical disc
Even if your software gives no indication that any problems have occurred, you should always check to ensure that information has been successfully stored on recordable optical disc (CD-R, CD-RW and so forth).
Wireless LAN and your Health
Wireless LAN products, like other radio devices, emit radio frequency electromagnetic energy. The level of energy emitted by Wireless LAN devices however is far less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by other wireless devices such as mobile phones. Because Wireless LAN products operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, TOSHIBA believes Wireless LAN is safe for use by consumers. These standards and recommendations reflect the consensus of the scientific community and result from deliberations of panels and committees of scientists who continually review and interpret the extensive research literature. In some situations or environments, the use of Wireless LAN may be restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of the organisation. These situations may for example include: Using the Wireless LAN equipment on board of aeroplanes. In any other environment where the risk of interference to other devices or services is perceived or identified as harmful. If you are uncertain of the policy that applies on the use of wireless devices in a specific organisation or environment (e.g. airports), you are encouraged to ask for authorisation to use the Wireless LAN device prior to turning on the equipment.

Chapter 5

The computers keyboard layout is that of a 101/102-key enhanced keyboard. 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 four types of keys: typewriter keys, function keys, soft keys and cursor control keys. The typewriter keys are gray. The other keys are dark gray.

Typewriter keys

The typewriter keys, produce the upper- and lower-case 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.
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. Some software may disable or interfere with soft-key operations. Soft-key settings are not restored by the Standby feature.

1.6 Batteries

Batteries
The computer has two types of battery: ? Main battery pack (18650 size) ? RTC battery The removable main battery pack is the computers main power source when the AC adaptor is not attached. The battery specifications are listed in the table below.
Battery name Main battery

Material Lithium-Ion

Output voltage 14.8 V
Capacity 6450mAH/ 4300mAH

RTC battery

Lithium

14 mAH/15 mAH

1.6.1 Main Battery Battery charging is controlled by a power supply microprocessor that is mounted on the system board. The power supply microprocessor controls whether the charge is on or off and detects a full charge when the AC adaptor and battery are attached to the computer. The system charges the battery using quick charge or trickle charge. ? Quick Battery Charge When the AC adaptor is attached, there are two types of quick charge: quick charge when the system is powered off and normal charge when the system is powered on. The times required for charges are listed in the table below.
Status Normal charge (power on) Quick charge (power off) Charging time 12 hours or longer About 4 hours
NOTES 1. The time required for normal charge is affected by the amount of power the system is consuming. Use of the fluorescent lamp and frequent disk access diverts power and lengthens the charge time. Using quick charge, the power supply microprocessor automatically stops the charge after eight hours regardless of the condition of the battery. Overcharging could cause the battery to explode. If any of the following occurs, the battery quick charge process stops. 1. The battery becomes fully charged. 2. The AC adaptor or battery is removed. 3. The battery or output voltage is abnormal. 4. The battery temperature is abnormal. 5. The battery SMBus communication fails. 6. The battery cell is bad. ? Detection of full charge A full charge is detected from the battery pack through SMBus when the battery is charging. 1.6.2 RTC battery The RTC battery provides power to keep the current date, time and other setup information in memory while the computer is turned off. The table below lists the charging time and data preservation period of the RTC battery. The RTC battery is charged by the adaptor or main battery, while the computer is powered on.
