Wireless LAN and Your Health
Wireless LAN products, like other radio devices, emit radio frequency
electromagnetic energy. The level of energy emitted by Wireless LAN devices
however is far much less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless
devices like for example mobile phones.
Because Wireless LAN products operate within the guidelines found in radio
frequency safety standards and recommendations, TOSHIBA believes Wireless
LAN is safe for use by consumers. These standards and recommendations reflect
the consensus of the scientific community and result from deliberations of panels
and committees of scientists who continually review and interpret the extensive
research literature.
In some situations or environments, the use of Wireless LAN may be restricted
by the proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of the
organization. These situations may for example include:
Using the Wireless LAN equipment on board airplanes, or
In any other environment where the risk of interference to other devices or
services is perceived or identified as harmful.
If you are uncertain of the policy that applies on the use of wireless devices in a
specific organization or environment (e.g. airports), you are encouraged to ask for
authorization to use the Wireless LAN device prior to turning on the equipment.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation
The radiated output power of the TOSHIBA Wireless LAN Mini PCI Card is
far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the
TOSHIBA Wireless LAN Mini PCI Card shall be used in such a manner that
the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized. The
antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in
conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Chapter 1
Getting Started
This chapter provides tips for using your computer effectively,
summarizes how to connect components, and explains what to do
the first time you use your computer.
Please read the safety instruction information on the Quick Start
document (that shipped with your computer) carefully and make
sure you fully understand the instructions before you attempt to use
your computer in order to avoid potential hazards that could cause
bodily injury, property damage, or damage the computer.
Selecting a place to work
Your computer is portable and designed to be used in a variety of
circumstances and locations.
Setting up a work environment
Place the computer on a hard 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.
34
Getting Started
Selecting a place to work
Avoid glare: position the notebook so that light sources (lamps
or windows) do not shine or reflect directly into your eyes.
Place the notebook display away from bright light sources or
reduce the light intensity from windows by using blinds. Glare
on the notebook display may cause eye strain, eye fatigue or
headaches.
Certain notebook displays have a brightness approaching that
of a TV device. We recommend that you adjust the brightness
of your notebook display to a comfortable level to prevent
possible eye strain.
Keep your head level, facing forward and balanced over your
torso.
Adjust the font size of text on your screen to make viewing
comfortable.
Rest your eyes periodically by focusing on objects that are
farther away.
Using the notebook with an external keyboard, mouse or monitor
(Sample Illustration) Correct posture
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.
35
Getting Started
Selecting a place to work
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.
Taking breaks and varying tasks
Change they way you work so that you are not stuck in the
same posture for long periods of time. Some people find it
comfortable to occasionally stand while using the notebook. To
do this properly, the notebook needs to be on an elevated
surface. Make sure you follow the Good Working Posture
points mentioned above while working.
39
Getting Started
Selecting a place to work
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.
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.
NOTE
40
Getting Started
Setting up your computer
Setting up your computer
TECHNICAL NOTE: You must complete all setup steps up to and
including “Setting up your software” on page 44 before adding
external or internal components to your computer. These
components include, but are not limited to, a mouse, keyboard,
printer, and memory.
Your computer contains a rechargeable main battery that needs to
be charged before you can use it.
To use external power or to charge the battery you must attach the
AC adaptor. See “Connecting to a power source” on page 40.

The computer’s main battery light gives you an indication of
the main battery’s current charge:
Glows amber while the main battery is being charged
(AC adaptor connected)
Glows white when the main battery is fully charged
Is unlit when the main battery has discharged, the battery
is not charging, or the AC adaptor is not plugged into the
computer or AC outlet
Flashes amber when the main battery charge is low and it
is time to recharge the main battery or plug in the AC
adaptor
If the AC power light flashes amber during charging, either the main
battery is malfunctioning, or it is not receiving correct input from the
AC power supply.
Disconnect the AC power cord/cable and remove the main battery
pack. See “Changing the main battery” on page 102 for information
on replacing the main battery.

Charging the main battery
Charging the main battery
Before using the battery to power the computer, you must charge
the battery.
To charge the battery, leave the computer plugged into an AC power
source with the computer turned off until the battery light glows
white. After that, the battery will be completely charged and ready
to power the computer.
Once the battery is charged for the first time, avoid leaving the
computer plugged in and turned off for more than a few hours at a
time. Continuing to charge a fully charged battery can damage the
battery.
Using the computer for the first time
The computer is now ready for you to turn it on and begin using it.
When opening or closing the display panel, place one hand on the
palm rest to hold the computer in place and use the other hand to
slowly open or close the display panel.
To avoid damaging the display panel, do not force it beyond the point
where it moves easily and never lift the computer by the display
panel.
Do not press or push on the display panel and be careful to remove
any pens or other objects from the keyboard area before closing the
display panel.
Small bright dots may appear on your screen display when you
turn on your computer. Your display contains an extremely large
number of thin-film transistors (TFT) and is manufactured using
high-precision technology. Any small bright dots that may appear
on your display are an intrinsic characteristic of the TFT
manufacturing technology. Over a period of time, and depending on
the usage of the computer, the brightness of the screen will
deteriorate. This is also an intrinsic characteristic of the screen
technology. When the computer is operated on battery power, the
screen will dim and you may not be able to increase the brightness
of the screen while on battery power.

Running the computer on battery power
HINT: Once the battery is fully charged, we recommend that you
periodically operate your computer on battery power until the battery
discharges completely.
Please make a complete back up of your data to external media
before discharging the battery. For more information, see “Backing
up your work” on page 85
Charging the RTC battery
Your computer has an internal real-time clock (RTC) battery. The
RTC battery powers the System Time Clock and BIOS memory
used to store your computer’s configuration settings. When fully
charged, it maintains this information for up to a month when the
computer is powered off.
The RTC battery may have become completely discharged while
your computer was shipped, resulting in a CMOS error message
during startup. The error message may vary by computer model.
Depending on your system, the RTC battery may only charge while
the computer is turned on.
To recharge the RTC battery, plug the computer into a live electrical
outlet and leave the computer powered on for 24 hours.
It is seldom necessary to charge the RTC battery because it charges
while the computer is on. If the RTC battery is low, the real-time
clock and calendar may display the incorrect time and date or stop
working.
When Hibernation mode is enabled and the RTC battery is
completely discharged, a warning prompts you to reset the real-time
clock.
The computer can be used while the RTC battery is being charged,
although the charging status of the RTC battery cannot be
monitored.

Taking care of your battery
Taking care of your battery
The following sections offer tips on how to take care of your battery
and prolong its life.
Safety precautions
If the battery pack produces an odor, overheats or changes
color or shape while it is being used or charged, turn off the
computers power immediately and disconnect the power
cord/cable from the power socket. Carefully remove the battery
pack from the computer.
Do not try to disassemble a battery pack.
Do not overcharge or reverse charge a battery. Overcharging
will shorten its life, and reverse charging could damage it.
Avoid touching the metal terminals of the battery with another
metal object. Short-circuiting the battery can cause it to
overheat and may cause damage to the battery or the computer.
Do not incinerate a spent battery, as this could cause it to
explode and release caustic liquid.
If a battery is leaking or damaged, replace it immediately. Use
protective gloves when handling a damaged battery.
To replace the main battery, use an identical battery that you
can purchase through the Toshiba Web site at
accessories.toshiba.com.
A reverse polarity condition should be avoided with all
batteries. The main battery is designed so that it cannot be
installed in reverse polarity.
Charge the battery only in the computer or in a battery charger
designated as an approved option.
When you install the battery pack, you should hear a click
when it is seated properly.
Do not expose the battery pack to fire. The battery pack could
explode.
