General Precautions

TOSHIBA computers are designed to optimize safety, minimize 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.

Creating a computer-friendly environment

Place the computer on a flat surface that is large enough for the computer

and any other items you are using, such as a printer.
Leave enough space around the computer and other equipment to provide

adequate ventilation. Otherwise, they may overheat.
To keep your computer in prime operating condition, protect your work area

from:

Dust, moisture, and direct sunlight.

Equipment that generates a strong electromagnetic field, such as

stereo speakers (other than speakers that are connected to the

computer) or speakerphones.

Rapid changes in temperature or humidity and sources of temperature

change such as air conditioner vents or heaters.

Extreme heat, cold, or humidity.

Liquids and corrosive chemicals.

Stress injury

Carefully read the Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort. It contains

information on the 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 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, for example if you rest the

computer on your lap or if you keep your hands on the palm rest, your

skin might suffer a low-heat injury.
