Getting Started
Selecting a place to work
Equipment that generates a strong electromagnetic field, such
as stereo speakers (other than speakers that are connected to
the computer) or speakerphones.
Rapid changes in temperature or humidity and sources of
temperature change such as air conditioner vents or heaters.
Extreme heat, cold, or humidity.
Liquids and corrosive chemicals.
CAUTION: If you spill liquid into the computer, turn it off,
unplug it from the AC power source, and let it dry out
completely before turning it on again.
If the computer does not operate correctly after you turn it
back on, contact a Toshiba authorized service provider.
Keeping yourself comfortable
Strain and stress injuries are becoming more common as people
spend more time using their computers. With a little care and
proper use of the equipment, you can work comfortably
throughout the day.
This section provides hints on avoiding strain and stress injuries.
For more information, consult books on ergonomics, repetitive-
strain injury, and repetitive-stress syndrome.
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.
If you are using an external monitor, the top of the display
should be no higher than eye level.
