Page 30: Selecting A Place To Work
Getting Started This chapter provides tips for working comfortably, describes how to connect components, and explains what to do the first time you use your notebook computer. Selecting a place to work Your computer is portable and designed to be used in a variety of circumstances and locations.
Page 31: Keeping Yourself Comfortable
If the computer does not operate correctly after you turn it back on, contact a Toshiba authorized service provider. Equipment that generates a strong electromagnetic field, such as stereo speakers (other than speakers that are connected to the computer) or speakerphones.
Page 32 Getting Started Selecting a place to work Placement of the computer Proper placement of the computer and external devices is important to avoid stress-related injuries. 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.
Page 33 Getting Started Selecting a place to work Whichever type you choose, use the following guidelines to adjust your chair for maximum computing comfort. Position your chair so that the keyboard is at or slightly below the level of your elbow. You should be able to type comfortably with your shoulders relaxed and your forearms parallel to the floor.
Page 34: Work Habits
Getting Started Selecting a place to work Arms and wrists Avoid bending, arching, or twisting your wrists. Keep them in a relaxed, neutral position while typing. Exercise your hands, wrists, and arms to improve circulation. WARNING: Using the computer keyboard incorrectly may result in discomfort and possible injury.
Page 35: Setting Up Your Computer
Getting Started Setting up your computer Precautions Your 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. CAUTION: Never apply heavy pressure to the computer or subject it to sharp impacts.
Page 36: Installing Additional Memory (Optional)
Getting Started Setting up your computer Installing additional memory (optional) Your computer comes with enough memory to run most of today’s popular applications. You may want to increase the computer’s memory if you use complex software or process large amounts of data. Additional memory comes in 64 MB, 128 MB, and 256 MB modules.
Page 37 Getting Started Setting up your computer Using the small Phillips screwdriver, unscrew the two screws that secure the memory slot cover, then remove the memory slot cover. Removing the memory slot cover screws Put the screws and the cover in a safe place so that you can retrieve them later.
Page 38 Getting Started Setting up your computer Gently press down on the memory module connector until the clips snap into place. Do not force the module into position. The memory module should be level when secured in place. Inserting the memory module CAUTION: Avoid touching the connectors on the memory module or on the computer.
Page 39: Removing A Memory Module
Getting Started Setting up your computer Removing a memory module Follow steps 1 through 5 in (optional) Gently pull up on the module to disconnect it, then gently pull it out of the slot.

Learning the Basics This chapter lists some computing tips and provides important information about basic features. Computing tips Save your work frequently. Your work stays in the computer’s temporary memory until you save it to the disk. You will lose all the work done since you last saved, if, for example, a system error occurs and you must restart your computer, or your battery runs out of charge while you are working.
Page 60: Using The Keyboard
Learning the Basics Using the keyboard Back up your files to diskettes (or other removable storage media) on a regular basis. Label the backup copies clearly and store them in a safe place. It is easy to put off backing up because it takes time. If your hard disk suddenly fails, you may lose all the data on it unless you have a separate backup copy.
Page 61 Learning the Basics Using the keyboard Character keys Typing with the character keys is very much like typing on a typewriter, except that: The spacebar creates a space character instead of just passing over an area of the page. The lowercase l (el) and the number 1 are not interchangeable.
