Disclaimers
Under some conditions, your computer product may automatically shut-
down. This is a normal protective feature designed to reduce the risk of lost
data or damage to the product when used outside recommended conditions.
To avoid risk of lost data, always make back-up copies of data by
periodically storing it on an external storage medium. For optimum
performance, use your computer product only under recommended
conditions. Read additional restrictions in bundled documents. Contact
TOSHIBA Service and Support for more information.
Main Memory Disclaimer
Memory (Main System). Part of the main system memory may be used by
the graphics system for graphics performance and therefore reduce the
amount of main system memory available for other computing activities. The
amount of main system memory allocated to support graphics may vary
depending on the graphics system, applications utilized, system memory
size and other factors.
For PC's configured with 4 GB of system memory, the full system memory
space for computing activities will be considerably less and will vary by
model and system configuration.
Battery Life
Battery life may vary considerably depending on product model,
configuration, applications, power management settings and features
utilized, as well as the natural performance variations produced by the
design of individual components. Published battery life numbers are
achieved on select models and configurations tested by Toshiba at the time
of publication. Recharge time varies depending on usage. Battery may not
charge while computer is consuming full power. After a period of time, the
battery will lose its ability to perform at maximum capacity and will need to
be replaced. This is a normal phenomenon for all batteries. To purchase a
new battery pack, see the accessories information that is shipped with your
computer or contact TOSHIBA Service and Support for more information.
