Setting up your computer and getting started
❖
Place the computer on a flat surface at a comfortable
height and distance. You should be able to type without
twisting your torso or neck, and look at the screen
without slouching.
❖
If you are using an external monitor, the top of the
display should be no higher than eye level.
❖
If you use a paper holder, set it at about the same height
and distance as the screen.
Seating and posture
When using your computer, maintain good posture with your
body relaxed and your weight distributed evenly. Proper
seating is a primary factor in reducing work strain.
Precautions
Your notebook 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.
Connecting the AC adapter
The AC adapter allows you to power the computer from an
external AC power source and to charge the computer's batteries.
Never apply heavy pressure to the computer or subject it to sharp
impacts. Excessive pressure or impact can damage computer
components or otherwise cause your computer to malfunction.
Some PC Cards become hot with prolonged use. If two cards are
installed, both can become hot even if only one is being used.
Overheating of a PC Card can result in errors or instability in its
operation.
Be careful when you remove a PC Card that has been used for
lengthy periods of time.
Use only the AC adapter supplied with your computer or an
equivalent adapter that is compatible. Use of any incompatible
adapter could damage your computer. Toshiba assumes no liability
for any damage caused by use of an incompatible adapter.
