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 or damage to the computer. Be certain to read the general precautions below and to note the cautions included in the text of the manual.

Stress injury

Carefully read the Instruction Manual for Safety & Comfort. It contains information on prevention of stress injuries to your hands and wrists than can be caused by extensive keyboard use. Chapter 3, Getting Started, also includes information on workspace design, posture and lighting that can help reduce physical stress.

Heat injury

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.

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. 3-3
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.

Care and use of the Battery Pack
To ensure that the Battery Pack maintains its maximum capacity, operate the computer on battery power at least once a month until the Battery Pack is fully discharged. Refer to Extending battery life in this chapter for procedures. If the computer is continuously operated on AC power, through an AC adaptor for an extended period, more than a month, the battery may fail to retain a charge. It may not function efficiently over the expected life of the battery and the Battery LED may not indicate a low-battery condition.

Real time clock battery

The Real Time Clock (RTC) battery provides power for the internal real time clock and calendar. It also maintains the system configuration. The RTC battery is charged when the power of the computer is on. If the RTC battery becomes completely discharged, the system loses this data and the real time clock and calendar stop working. The following message appears when you turn on the power: *** Bad RTC battery *** Check system. Then press [F1] key. CAUTION: The computers RTC battery is a lithium ion battery and should be replaced only by your dealer or by a TOSHIBA service representative. The battery can explode if not properly replaced, used, handled or disposed of. Dispose of the battery as required by local ordinances or regulations. NOTE: You can change the setting of RTC by pressing F1 key. Refer to Chapter 9, Troubleshooting for the detail.
The Battery Pack is a vital component of portable computing. Taking proper care of it will help ensure longer operating time on battery power as well as a longer life for your Battery Pack. Follow the instructions in this section carefully to ensure safe operation and maximum performance.

Safety precautions

Mishandling of batteries can cause death, serious injury or property damage. Carefully observe the following advisories: Danger: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation, which could result in death or serious injury, if you do not follow instructions. Warning: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which could result it death or serious injury, if you do not follow instructions. Caution: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which if not avoided, may result in moderate or minor injury of property damage. Note: Provides important information.

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. NOTE: Leaving the AC adaptor connected will shorten battery life. At least once a month, run the computer on battery power until the battery is fully discharged, then recharge the battery.
Monitoring battery capacity
Remaining battery power can be monitored in Power Saver. 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, TOSHIBA Power Saver 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.
Maximizing battery operating time
A batterys usefulness depends on how long it can supply power on a single charge. How long the charge lasts in a battery depends on: How you configure the computer, for example, whether you enable battery power saving options. The computer provides a battery save mode to conserve battery power. This mode has the following options: Processing speed Display auto off HDD auto off System auto off LCD Brightness How often and how long you use the hard disk and the diskette drive. How much charge the battery contained to begin with. How you use optional devices, such as a PC card, to which the battery supplies power. Enabling Resume mode conserves battery power if you are frequently turning the computer off and on. Where you store your programs and data. Closing the display when you are not using the keyboard saves power. Operating time decreases at low temperatures. The condition of the battery terminals. Make sure the battery terminals stay clean by wiping them with a clean dry cloth before installing the Battery Pack.

Network Boot Protocol This feature sets the protocol to remotely boot from the network. [PXE] [RPL] Sets PXE as the protocol. (Default) Sets RPL as the protocol.
NOTES: 1. PC card HDD boot is supported only by the PC card slot on the computer. Support is guaranteed only for TOSHIBA PC card HDDs. 2. When you assign a PC card HDD top priority, PC is not displayed. However, the PC card HDD takes the position of HDD in the Boot Priority Options list above.

Preliminary checklist

Consider the simplest solution first. The items in this checklist are easy to fix and yet can cause what appears to be a serious problem. Make sure you turn on all peripheral devices before you turn on the computer. This includes your printer and any other external device you are using. Before you attach an external device, turn the computer off. When you turn the computer back on it recognizes the new device. Make sure all options are set properly in the setup program. Check all cables. Are they correctly and firmly attached? Loose cables can cause signal errors. Inspect all connecting cables for loose wires and all connectors for loose pins. 9-1
Check that your diskette is correctly inserted and that the diskettes write protect tab is correctly set.
Make notes of your observations and keep them in a permanent error log. This will help you describe your problems to your dealer. If a problem recurs, the log will help you identify the problem faster.

Analyzing the problem

Sometimes the system gives clues that can help you identify why it is malfunctioning. Keep the following questions in mind: Which part of the system is not operating properly: keyboard, diskette drives, hard disk drive, printer, display. Each device produces different symptoms. Is the operating system configuration set properly? Check the configuration options. What appears on the display screen? Does it display any messages or random characters? Print a copy of the screen if you have a printer attached. Look up the messages in the software and operating system documentation. Check that all connecting cables are correctly and firmly attached. Loose cables can cause erroneous or intermittent signals. Do any icons light? Which ones? What color are they? Do they stay on or blink? Write down what you see. Do you hear any beeps? How many? Are they long or short? Are they high pitched or low? Is the computer making any unusual noises? Write down what you hear. Software The problems may be caused by your software or diskette. If you cannot load a software package, the media (usually a diskette) may be damaged or the program might be corrupted. Try loading another copy of the software. If an error message appears while you are using a software package, check the software documentation. These documents usually include a problem solving section or a summary of error messages. Next, check any error messages in the OS documentation. Hardware If you cannot find a software problem, check your hardware. First run through the items in the preliminary checklist above. If you still cannot correct the problem, try to identify the source. The next section provides checklists for individual components and peripherals.
