Setting up your computer and getting started
Connecting the AC adapter
Your computer requires power to operate. Use the power cable and
AC adapter to connect the computer to a live electrical outlet, or to
charge the computer's battery.

Connecting a printer
Before you can connect a printer, you need to know whether
it uses a serial or a parallel interface. Check the printer's
documentation. If the printer can be switched between serial
and parallel mode, choose parallel because it is faster.
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.

Damaged power cables can cause fire or electric shock. Never
modify, forcibly bend, place heavy objects on top of, or apply heat to
the power cable.
If the power cable becomes damaged or the plug overheats, discon-
tinue use. There is a risk of electric shock.
Never remove the power plug from the outlet with wet hands. Doing
so may cause an electric shock.
