Getting Started

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.

Please check every couple of months to ensure the fan inlets or

exhaust vents (see sections

2-4

and

2-6

) are unobstructed. Clean them

if necessary.

A number of books are available on ergonomics and repetitive strain injury

or repetitive stress syndrome. For more information on these topics or for

pointers on exercises for such stress points as hands and wrists, please

check with your library or book vendor. Also refer to the computer's

Safety Instruction Manual.

Connecting the AC adapter

Attach the AC adapter when you need to charge the battery or you want to

operate from AC power. It is also the fastest way to get started, because

the battery pack will need to be charged before you can operate from

battery power. The AC adapter can be connected to any power source

supplying from 100 to 240 volts and 50 or 60 hertz. For details on using the

AC adapter to charge the battery pack, refer to Chapter 6,

Power and

Power-Up Modes

.

Use of the wrong adapter could damage your computer. TOSHIBA

assumes no liability for any damage in such case. The output rating for the

computer is 19 volts DC.
