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.
Stress injury
Carefully read the Safety Instruction Manual. It contains information on
prevention of stress injuries to your hands and wrists than can be caused
by extensive keyboard use. The User's Guide also includes information on
workspace design; posture and lighting that can help reduce physical
stress.
Heat Warning
The base of the PC can become very warm; while the temperature will not
be too hot to touch, prolonged physical contact may result in a temporary
heat imprint on the skin. It is recommended that prolonged physical
contact be avoided.
Also, 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.
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 30cm be
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 component
or otherwise cause malfunctions.
PC card overheating
Some PC cards can become hot with prolonged use. If two cards are
installed, both can become hot even if only one is used extensively.
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.
