Getting Started

Selecting a place to work

❖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.

Keeping yourself comfortable

This section provides information for setting up your work

environment and tips for working comfortably throughout the

day.

Computer user comfort recommendations

Good Working Posture

❖Adjust your chair height: your feet should be flat on the

floor and the bottom of your thighs should be evenly

supported by the seat. If your feet cannot reach the floor,

use a foot rest. Avoid pressure points behind the knee or

under the thigh.

❖The space under your desk should be free of clutter so

that your legs and feet are not restricted, and you can

get close enough to your notebook and other items that

you use frequently.

❖Adjust the chair back rest: it should match the curve of

your back and provide comfortable back support.

❖Adjust the chair arm rests: they should be about the

same height as the keyboard and comfortably support

your arms, allowing your shoulders to relax.

❖When using the keyboard, it should be centered in front

of you.

❖The keyboard and pointing device should be close to

your elbow level. The keyboard should be flat so that

your wrists are straight when typing. However, if the

notebook is on a work surface that is above your elbow

height you may need to slope the notebook to keep your

wrists straight.

❖Work with relaxed shoulders.

Getting Started

Selecting a place to work

❖When using a notebook for long hours, it may be more

comfortable to dock the notebook and use an external

keyboard, mouse and monitor.

❖The keyboard and mouse (or trackball) should be close

to your elbow level.

❖The mouse should be next to the keyboard to avoid a

reach. If you have to reach, the arm should be supported

in the forearm area by the desk surface or the chair arm

supports.

❖Alternative keyboards, such as the split curved

keyboard, may improve shoulder and arm comfort.

❖Select a mouse that is comfortable for you to use.

❖Don’t rest your wrists on the edge of the keyboard or on

the work surface when typing.

❖The monitor should be about an arm length away while

sitting back in the chair.

❖The monitor should be centered in front of your body.

❖The top of the monitor should be at or slightly below eye

level. A monitor that is too high or too low can cause

awkward head and neck postures and may lead to

discomfort in the neck muscles.

❖If you use bifocals you may need to lower the monitor.

Alternatively, you might consider customized

prescription computer glasses.

Typing style

❖Learn to touch type so that you don’t have to look down

at the keyboard.

❖Type with straight wrists.

❖Type lightly.

❖Learn the keyboard shortcuts for your applications. You

will be more productive.

❖Use the pointing device (e.g., touch pad, Accupoint

®, or

tablet pen whichever is available with your notebook

computer, or other optional pointing devices like mouse

or trackball) with a comfortable hand posture. Avoid

awkward hand postures or high gripping force.

❖It is helpful to change the type of pointing device that

you use on a regular basis to avoid working in just one

hand posture.

Getting Started

Selecting a place to work

Seeking additional help

Follow the advice from your employer’s company health and

safety staff. Contact them if you need assistance making

adjustment to your workstation or adjusting the lighting.

Again, if you experience persistent or recurrent pain, ache,

numbness, burning, or stiffness you should promptly see a

qualified health care provider. These sensations may be

caused by serious medical conditions that can be treated.

Precautions

Your computer is designed to provide optimum safety and

ease of use, and to withstand the rigors of travel. You should

observe certain precautions to further reduce the risk of

personal injury or damage to the computer.

❖Avoid prolonged physical contact with the underside or

surface of the computer.

Never allow any liquids to spill into any part of your

computer, and never expose the computer to rain, water,

seawater or moisture. Exposure to liquid or moisture can

cause electric shock or fire, resulting in damage or

serious injury. If any of these eventualities should

accidentally occur, immediately:

1. Turn off the computer.

2. Disconnect the AC adaptor from the power plug

socket and computer.

3. Remove the battery pack, if applicable.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious

injury or permanent damage to the computer.

Do not turn on the power again until you have taken the

computer to an authorized service center.

❖Avoid prolonged physical contact with the underside

or surface of the computer.

❖Computer base and palm rest can become hot! Avoid

prolonged contact to prevent heat injury to skin.

Today’s performance computers generate heat under normal

operating conditions, as a function of system activity. Avoid

extended contact between the computer base or palm rest

and your skin. Under certain operating conditions such

prolonged contact between the computer base or palm rest

and your skin may result in skin irritation and/or heat injury.

Getting Started

Selecting a place to work

Consider using a hard computer insulating pad or similarly

suitable hard insulating material when using a computer on

your lap.

Never place a heavy object on the computer and be

careful not to drop a heavy object onto the computer. It

could damage the computer or cause system failure.

❖Never turn off the computer if a drive light indicates a drive is

active.

Turning off the computer while it is reading from or

writing to a disk/disc or flash media may damage the

disk/disc or flash media, the drive, or both.

❖Keep the computer and disks away from objects that

generate strong magnetic fields, such as large stereo

speakers.

Information on some disks is stored magnetically.

Placing a magnet too close to a disk can erase important

files.

Handle discs carefully. Avoid touching the surface of the

disc. Grasp it by its center hole and edge. If you handle

the disc incorrectly, you could damage the disc and

possibly lose data.

❖Scan all new files for viruses.

This precaution is especially important for files you

receive via email or download from the Internet.

Occasionally, even new programs you buy from a

supplier may contain a computer virus. You need a

special program to check for viruses.

Getting Started

Setting up your computer

Important information on your computer’s

cooling fan

Your computer may have a CPU cooling fan that cools the

CPU by drawing outside air into the computer.

Always make sure your computer and AC adaptor have

adequate ventilation and are protected from overheating

when the power is turned on or when an AC adaptor is

connected to a power outlet (even if your computer is in

Sleep mode). In this condition, observe the following:

Never cover your computer or AC adaptor with any

object.

Never place your computer or AC adaptor near a heat

source, such as an electric blanket or heater.

Never cover or block the air vents including those located

at the underside of the computer.

Always operate your computer on a hard flat surface.

Using your computer on a carpet or other soft material

can block the vents located at the underside of the

computer.

Overheating your computer or AC adaptor could cause

system failure, computer or AC adaptor damage or a fire,

possibly resulting in serious injury.

The cooling fan location will vary depending on the

computer.

Setting up your computer

attach the AC adaptor. See “Connecting to a power source”

on page 40.

NOTE

Getting Started

Connecting to a power source

Please handle your computer carefully to avoid

scratching or damaging the surface.

Connecting to a power source

Your computer requires power to operate. Use the power

cord/cable and AC adaptor to connect the computer to a live

electrical outlet, or to charge the computer’s battery.

Never pull on a power cord/cable to remove a plug from

a socket. Always grasp the plug directly. Failure to follow

this instruction may damage the cord/cable, and/or result

in a fire or electric shock, possibly resulting in serious

injury.

Always confirm that the power plug (and extension cable

plug if used) has been fully inserted into the socket, to

ensure a secure electrical connection. Failure to do so

may result in a fire or electric shock, possibly resulting in

serious injury.

Be careful if you use a multiple connector. An overload on

one socket could cause a fire or electric shock, possibly

resulting in serious injury.

Always use the TOSHIBA AC adaptor that was provided

with your computer, or use AC adaptors specified by

TOSHIBA to avoid any risk of fire or other damage to the

computer. Use of an incompatible AC adaptor could

cause fire or damage to the computer possibly resulting

in serious injury. TOSHIBA assumes no liability for any

damage caused by use of an incompatible adaptor.

Getting Started

Removing a memory module

If you need to remove a memory module:

1Complete steps 1–10 in “Installing a memory module” on

page 48 to shut down the computer and open the

memory module slot cover.

Do not try to remove a memory module with the

computer turned on. You can damage the computer and

the memory module.

Do not remove the memory module while the computer

is in Sleep or Hibernation mode. The computer could

hang up the next time you turn it on and data in memory

will be lost. In either of the above cases, the Sleep

configuration will not be saved.

2Pull the latches away from the memory module.

The memory module pops up slightly.

If your system has the memory modules stacked on top

of one another, you must remove the top module first

before removing/installing the bottom module.

3Gently lift the memory module to a 30-degree angle and

slide it out of the slot.
