General Precautions

TOSHIBA computers are designed to optimise safety, minimise 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. Please also refer to the Safety
Instruction 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 Warning

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 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.

Mobile phones

Use of mobile phones can interfere with the PC sound system. The PC
operation is not impaired but it is recommended that a distance of 30 cm
is maintained between the PC & the mobile phone.

Pressure or impact damage

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