User's Manual vii General Precautions Toshiba computers are designed to optimise safety, minimise strain and withstand the rigours 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. Stress injury Carefully read the Safety Instruction Manual. It contains information on 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 Warning The base of the PC can become very warm; while the temperature will not be too hot to the touch, prolonged physical contact may result in a temporary heat imprint on the skin. It is recommended that prolonged physical contact is avoided. Also, if the computer has been used for a long time, avoid direct contact with the metal plate supporting the I/O ports. It can become hot. Mobile phones Use of mobile phones can interfere with the PC sound system. The PC operation is not impaired but it is recommended that a distance of 30 cm is maintained between the PC & the mobile phone. Pressure or impact damage Do not apply heavy pressure to the computer or subject it to strong impact. Excessive pressure or impact can cause damage to computer components or otherwise cause malfunctions. PC card overheating Some PC cards can become hot with prolonged use. If two cards are installed, both can become hot even if only one is used extensively. Overheating of a PC card can result in errors or instability in the PC card operation. Also, be careful when you remove a PC card that has been used for a long time. viii User's Manual CE compliance This product and the original options are designed to observe the related EMC (Electromagnetic compatibility) and safety standards. However, Toshiba should not guarantee that this product still observes these EMC standards if options or cables not produced by Toshiba are connected or implemented. In this case the persons who have connected / implemented those options / cables have to assure that the system (PC plus options / cables) still fulfils the required standards. To avoid in general EMC problems following advice should be observed: Only CE marked options should be connected / implemented Only best shielded cables should be connected Working environment This product was designed to fulfil the EMC (electromagnetic compatibility) requirements to be observed for so-called "Residential, commercial and light industry environments". Toshiba do not approve the use of this product in working environments other than the above mentioned "Residential, commercial and light industry environments". For example, the following environments are not approved: Industrial Environments (environments with a mains voltage >230V~) Medical Environments Automotive Environments Aircraft Environments If this product is supplied with a network port, please refer to the paragraph "Network connection". Any consequences resulting from the use of this product in working environments that are not approved are not the responsibility of Toshiba Europe GmbH. The consequences of the use of this product in non-approved working environments may be: Interference with other devices or machines in the near surrounding area Malfunction of, or data loss from, this product caused by disturbances generated by other devices or machines in the near surrounding area Therefore Toshiba strongly recommend that the electromagnetic compatibility of this product should be suitably tested in all nonapproved working environments before use.
