Getting Started

Connecting to a power source

Please handle your computer carefully to avoid scratching or
damaging the surface.

Connecting to a power source

Your computer requires power to operate. Use the power cord/cable
and AC adaptor to connect the computer to a live electrical outlet,
or to charge the computer’s battery.

Never pull on a power cord/cable to remove a plug from a socket. Always
grasp the plug directly. Failure to follow this instruction may damage the
cord/cable, and/or result in a fire or electric shock, possibly resulting in
serious injury.

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 the TOSHIBA AC adaptor that was provided with your
computer and the TOSHIBA Battery Charger (that may have been provided
with your computer), or use AC adaptors and battery chargers specified by
TOSHIBA to avoid any risk of fire or other damage to the computer. Use of
an incompatible AC adaptor or Battery Charger could cause fire or damage
to the computer possibly resulting in serious injury. TOSHIBA assumes no
liability for any damage caused by use of an incompatible adaptor or
charger.
