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.

Creating a computer-friendly environment

Place the computer on a flat surface, which is large enough for the
computer and any other items you need to use, such as a printer. Leave
enough space around the computer and other equipment to provide
adequate ventilation and prevent overheating.
To keep your computer in prime operating condition, protect your work
area from:
■
Dust, moisture, and direct sunlight.
■
Liquids and corrosive chemicals.
If you spill liquid into the computer, turn it off, unplug it from the AC
power source, remove the battery, 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.
■
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. Use the computer within a
temperature range of 5° to 35° C (40° to 95° Fahrenheit) and 20% to
80% non-condensing humidity.
