DANGER
Setting up your computer and getting started
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. 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.
When you connect the AC adapter to the computer, always follow the steps in
the exact order as described in the User's Manual. Connecting the power
cable to a live electrical outlet should be the last step otherwise the adapter
DC output plug could hold an electrical charge and cause an electrical shock
or minor bodily injury when touched. As a general safety precaution, avoid
touching any metal parts.
Hold the power cable by its plug when you connect/disconnect it. Do NOT
pull the cable itself. Doing so may damage the power cable and result in a
short circuit or electric shock.
