Running the computer on battery power
Battery life may vary considerably from specifications depending
on product model, configuration, applications, power management
settings and features utilized, as well as the natural performance
variations produced by the design of individual components.
Published battery life numbers are achieved on select models and
configurations tested by Toshiba at the time of publication.
Recharge time varies depending on usage. Battery may not charge
while the computer is consuming full power.
Do not press the eject button while the drive in-use indicator light is
glowing. Doing so could damage the disc or the drive.
Also, if the disc is still spinning when you open the disc tray, wait for
it to stop spinning before you remove it.
Never use a pencil to press the manual eject button. Pencil lead can
break off inside the computer and damage it.
Do not pick up the computer by its display panel or by the back.
Doing so could damage the system.
