General Precautions

TOSHIBA computers are designed to optimize safety, minimize strain and

withstand the rigours 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 Safety Instruction Manual. It contains information on

prevention of stress injuries to your hands and wrists that can be caused by

extensive keyboard use. Chapter 3,

Getting Started

, also includes

information on work space design, posture and lighting that can help

reduce physical stress.

Heat injury

Avoid prolonged physical contact with the bottom of 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, 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 adapter can become hot when in use. This

condition does not indicate a malfunction. If you need to transport the

AC adapter, disconnect it and let it cool before moving it.

Do not lay the AC adapter on a material that is sensitive to heat.

The material could be damaged.

Pressure or impact damage

Do not apply heavy pressure to the computer or subject it to strong impact.
Excessive pressure or impact can damage computer components or

otherwise cause malfunctions.

PC Card overheating

Some PC Cards can become hot with prolonged use. Overheating of a

PC Card can result in errors or instability in the PC Card operation. Also be

careful when you remove a PC Card that has been used for a long time.

Mobile phone

Use of mobile phones can interfere with the audio system. Computer

operation is not impaired but it is recommended that a distance of 30cm be

maintained between the computer and a mobile phone in use.
