Setting up your computer and getting started
Connecting the AC adapter
The AC adapter enables you to power the computer from an
AC outlet and to charge the computer's batteries. The AC
power light on the computer glows when the device is
plugged in.
Power Cable and AC Adapter
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.
