Page 26: General Precautions
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.
Page 27: Heat Injury
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.
Page 28: Equipment Checklist
Some of the features described in this manual may not function properly if you use an operating system that was not pre-installed by TOSHIBA. Equipment checklist Carefully unpack your computer, taking care to save the box and packaging materials for future use.

Page 30 Getting Started ■ All users should be sure to read the section ■ Be sure to read the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort for information on the safe and proper use of this computer. It is intended to help you be more comfortable and productive while using a notebook computer.
Page 31: Connecting The Ac Adaptor
Chapter 6, ■ Always use the TOSHIBA AC adaptor that was provided with your PC and the TOSHIBA Battery Charger (that may have been provided with your PC), or use TOSHIBA recommended alternate models to avoid any risk of fire or other damage to the PC.
Page 32 1. Connect the power cord to the AC adaptor. Figure 1-1 Connecting the power cord to the AC adaptor (2-pin plug) Figure 1-2 Connecting the power cord to the AC adaptor (3-pin plug) Either a 2-pin or 3-pin adaptor/cord will be included with the computer depending on the model.
Page 33: Opening The Display
Opening the display The display panel can be opened to a wide range of angles for optimal viewing. 1. Slide the display latch on the front of the computer to unlatch the display panel. 2. While holding down the palm rest with one hand so that the main body of the computer is not raised, slowly lift the display panel - this will allow the angle of the display panel to be adjusted to provide optimum clarity.
Page 34: Turning On The Power
Turning on the power This section describes how to turn on the power - the Power indicator will then indicate the status. Please refer to the section in Chapter 6, Power and Power-Up Modes for more information. ■ After you turn on the power for the first time, do not turn it off until you have set up the operating system.
Page 35: Sleep Mode
■ Make sure the Hard Disk Drive indicator is off. If you turn off the power while a disk (disc) is being accessed, you may lose data or damage the disk. ■ Never turn off the power while an application is running. Doing so may cause loss of data.
Page 36 Turning off your computer where electronic devices are regulated or controlled. When you have to turn off your computer aboard an aircraft or in places where electronic devices are regulated or controlled, always shut down the computer completely or put the computer into hibernation mode instead of allowing it to go into Standby Mode (Sleep Mode) and turn off any wireless communication switches or devices.
Page 37: Hibernation Mode
When you turn the power back on, you can continue where you left when you shut down the computer. ■ When the computer is in Sleep Mode, the power indicator will blink orange. ■ If you are operating the computer on battery power, you can lengthen the overall operating time by turning it off with Hibernation Mode - Sleep Mode will consume more power while the computer is off.
Page 38: Restarting The Computer
Starting Hibernation Mode You can also enable Hibernation Mode by pressing FN + F4 - please refer to Chapter 5, To enter Hibernation Mode, follow the steps below. 1. Click Start. 2. Click the arrow button ( Automatic Hibernation Mode The computer can be configured to enter Hibernation Mode automatically when you press the power button or close the lid.

S-registers S-registers contain the settings that determine how a number of functions of the internal modem operate. For example, how many times to let the telephone ring before the modem answers and how long to wait before it hangs up if a connection fails. You can also customize certain AT commands such as the escape sequence and command line termination.
