telecommunications network protective, operational and safety
requirements as prescribed in the appropriate Terminal Equipment
Technical Requirements document(s). The Department does not
guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.
Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is
permissible to be connected to the facilities of the local
telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed
using an acceptable method of connection.
The customer should be aware that compliance with the above
conditions may not prevent degradation of service in some situations.
Repairs to certified equipment should be coordinated by a
representative designated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations
made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may
give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to

Notes for Users in Australia and New Zealand
Modem warning notice for Australia
Modems connected to the Australian telecoms network must have a valid
Austel permit. This modem has been designed to specifically configure to
ensure compliance with Austel standards when the country/region selection
is set to Australia. The use of other country/region setting while the modem
is attached to the Australian PSTN would result in you modem being
operated in a non-compliant manner. To verify that the country/region is
correctly set, enter the command ATI which displays the currently active
setting.
To set the country/region permanently to Australia, enter the following
command sequence:
AT%TE=1
ATS133=1
AT&F
AT&W
AT%TE=0
ATZ
Failure to set the modem to the Australia country/region setting as shown
above will result in the modem being operated in a non-compliant manner.
Consequently, there would be no permit in force for this equipment and the
Telecoms Act 1991 prescribes a penalty of $12,000 for the connection of
non-permitted equipment.
The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device
provides an indication of the maximum number of terminals allowed to be
connected to a telephone interface. The termination on an interface may
consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that
the sum of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not
exceed 5.

Satellite L750/L755/L750D/L755D/Satellite Pro L750/L750D
Notes for use of this device in New Zealand
■The grant of a Telepermit for a device in no way indicates Telecom
acceptance of responsibility for the correct operation of that device
under all operating conditions. In particular the higher speeds at which
this modem is capable of operating depend on a specific network
implementation which is only one of many ways of delivering high
quality voice telephony to customers. Failure to operate should not be
reported as a fault to Telecom.
■In addition to satisfactory line conditions a modem can only work
properly if:
a/ it is compatible with the modem at the other end of the call and.
b/ the application using the modem is compatible with the application
at the other end of the call - e.g., accessing the Internet requires
suitable software in addition to a modem.
■This equipment shall not be used in any manner which could constitute
a nuisance to other Telecom customers.
■Some parameters required for compliance with Telecom’s PTC
Specifications are dependent on the equipment (PC) associated with
this modem. The associated equipment shall be set to operate within
the following limits for compliance with Telecom Specifications:
a/ There shall be no more than 10 call attempts to the same number
within any 30 minute period for any single manual call initiation, and
b/ The equipment shall go on-hook for a period of not less than 30
seconds between the end of one attempt and the beginning of the
next.
c/ Automatic calls to different numbers shall be not less than 5
seconds apart.
■Immediately disconnect this equipment should it become physically
damaged, and arrange for its disposal or repair.
■The correct settings for use with this modem in New Zealand are as
follows:
ATB0 (CCITT operation)
AT&G2 (1800 Hz guard tone)
AT&P1 (Decadic dialing make-break ratio =33%/67%)
ATS0=0 (not auto answer)
ATS6=4 (Blind dial delay)
ATS7=less than 90 (Time to wait to carrier after dialing)
ATS10=less than 150 (loss of carrier to hangup delay, factory
default of 15 recommended)
ATS11=90 (DTMF dialing on/off duration=90 ms)
ATX2 (Dial tone detect, but not (U.S.A.) call progress detect)
User’s Manual xvi
Satellite L750/L755/L750D/L755D/Satellite Pro L750/L750D
■When used in the Auto Answer mode, the S0 register must be set with a
value of 3 or 4. This ensures:
a/ A person calling your modem will hear a short burst of ringing before
the modem answers. This confirms that the call has been
successfully switched through the network.
b/ Caller identification information (which occurs between the first and
second ring cadences) is not destroyed.
■The preferred method of dialing is to use DTMF tones (ATDT...) as this
is faster and more reliable than pulse (decadic) dialing. If for some
reason you must use decadic dialing, your communications program
must be set up to record numbers using the following translation table
as this modem does not implement the New Zealand “Reverse Dialing”
standard.
Number to be dialed: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
Number to program into computer: 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1
Note that where DTMF dialing is used, the numbers should be
entered normally.
■The transmit level from this device is set at a fixed level and because of
this there may be circumstances where the performance is less than
optimal. Before reporting such occurrences as faults, please check the
line with a standard Telepermitted telephone, and only report a fault if
the phone performance is impaired.
■It is recommended that this equipment be disconnected from the
Telecom line during electrical storms.
■When relocating the equipment, always disconnect the Telecom line
connection before the power connection, and reconnect the power first.
■This equipment may not be compatible with Telecom Distinctive Alert
cadences and services such as FaxAbility.
NOTE THAT FAULT CALLOUTS CAUSED BY ANY OF THE ABOVE
CAUSES MAY INCUR A CHARGE FROM TELECOM

User’s Manual 1-4
Getting Started
Connecting the AC adaptor
Attach the AC adaptor when you need to charge the battery or you want to
operate from AC power. It is also the fastest way to get started, because
the battery pack will need to be charged before you can operate from
battery power.
The AC adaptor can be connected to any power source supplying from 100
to 240 volts and 50 or 60 hertz. For details on using the AC adaptor to
charge the battery pack, refer to Chapter 6, Power and Power-Up Modes.
■Always use the TOSHIBA AC adaptor that was included with your
computer, or use AC adaptors specified by TOSHIBA to avoid any risk
of fire or other damage to the computer. Use of an incompatible AC
adaptor could cause fire or damage to the computer possibly resulting
in serious injury. TOSHIBA assumes no liability for any damage caused
by use of an incompatible adaptor.
■Never plug the AC adaptor into a power source that does not
correspond to both the voltage and the frequency specified on the
regulatory label of the unit. Failure to do so could result in a fire or
electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.
■Always use or purchase power cables that comply with the legal
voltage and frequency specifications and requirements in the country of
use. Failure to do so could result in a fire or electric shock, possibly
resulting in serious injury.
■The supplied power cord conforms to safety rules and regulations in
the region the product is bought and should not be used outside this
region. For use in other regions, please buy power cords that conform
to safety rules and regulations in the particular region.
■Do not use a 3-pin to 2-pin conversion plug.
■When you connect the AC adaptor 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 adaptor 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.
■Never place your computer or AC adaptor on a wooden surface,
furniture, or any other surface that could be marred by exposure to heat
since the computer base and AC adaptor's surface increase in
temperature during normal use.
■Always place your computer or AC adaptor on a flat and hard surface
that is resistant to heat damage.
Refer to the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort for
detailed precautions and handling instructions.

maximum of 8 GB system memory.
This computer can be equipped with memory
modules of a maximum size of 8 GB. The actual
amount of useable system memory will be less
than the installed memory modules.
Video RAM The memory in a computer's graphics adaptor,

The amount of Video RAM can be verified by
clicking the Advanced Settings button in the
Screen Resolution window.
If your computer is configured with more than 3 GB memory, the memory
might be displayed as approximately 3 GB only (depending on the
computer’s hardware specifications).
This is correct because the operating system usually displays the available
memory instead of the physical memory (RAM) built into the computer.
Various system components (like the video adapter’s GPU and PCI
devices like Wireless LAN, etc.) require their own memory space. Since a
32-bit operating system cannot address more than 4 GB of memory, these
system resources overlap the physical memory. It is a technical limitation
that the overlapped memory is not available to the operating system. Even
though some tools might display the actual physical memory built into your
computer, the memory available to the operating system will still be
approximately 3 GB only.
Computers configured with a 64-bit operating system can address 4 GB or
more of system memory.

Memory media
This section provides the important safety precautions in order to handle
your memory media.
Points to note about the SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card
SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards comply with SDMI (Secure Digital Music
Initiative), which is a technology adopted to prevent unlawful copy or
playback of digital music. For this reason, you cannot copy or playback
protected material on another computer or other device, and you may not
reproduce any copyrighted material except for your personal enjoyment.
Below is a simple explanation for distinguishing SD memory cards from
SDHC and SDXC memory cards.
■SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards appear the same externally.
However, the logo on SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards is different,
so pay careful attention to the logo when purchasing.
■The maximum capacity of SD memory cards is 2GB. The maximum
capacity of SDHC memory cards is 32GB. The maximum capacity of
SDXC memory cards is 64GB.
Memory media format
New media cards are formatted according to specific standards. If you wish
to reformat a media card, be sure to do so with a device that uses media
cards.
Formatting an SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card
SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards are sold already formatted in conformity to
specific standards. If you reformat an SD/SDHC/SDXC memory card, be
sure to reformat it with a device such as digital camera or digital audio
player that uses the SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards, not with the format
command provided within Windows.
■The SD memory card logo is ( ).
■The SDHC memory card logo is ( ).
■The SDXC memory card logo is ( ).
Card Type Capacities
SD 8MB, 16MB, 32MB, 64MB, 128MB, 256MB,
512MB, 1GB, 2GB
SDHC 4GB, 8GB, 16GB, 32GB
SDXC 64GB
Should you need to format all areas of the memory card, including the
protected area, you will need to obtain an appropriate application that
applies the copy protection system.

Using the TOSHIBA Face Recognition
TOSHIBA Face Recognition uses a face verification library to verify the
face data of users when they log in to Windows. The user can thus avoid
having to enter a password or the like, which makes the login process
easier.
Disclaimer
Toshiba does not guarantee that the face recognition utility technology will
be completely secure or error-free. Toshiba does not guarantee that the
face recognition utility will accurately screen out unauthorized users at all
times. Toshiba is not liable for any failure or damage that might arise out of
the use of the face recognition software or utility.
■Do not point the web camera directly at the sun.
■Do not touch or press strongly on the web camera lens. Doing so may
reduce image quality. Use an eyeglass cleaner (cleaner cloth) or other
soft cloth to clean the lens if it becomes dirty.
■Setting the [Size] to more than "800x600" will cause a larger amount of
data to be written to the hard disk drive and may interfere with smooth
recording.
■When recording in dimly lit environments, select "Night Mode" which
allows for brighter images with less noise.
■TOSHIBA Face Recognition does not guarantee the correct
identification of a user. Changes to the likeness of a registrant, such as
hair style changes, wearing a cap, or wearing glasses may effect the
recognition rates when such changes occur after the registrant had
registered.
■TOSHIBA Face Recognition may incorrectly recognize faces that are
similar to a registrant.
■For high security purposes, TOSHIBA Face Recognition is not a
suitable substitute for Windows passwords. When security is a high
priority, use your established Windows passwords to log in.
■Bright background light and/or shadows may prevent a registrant from
being recognized correctly. In that case, log in using your Windows
password. If recognition of a registrant fails repeatedly, refer to your
computer documentation to learn ways to improve recognition
performance.
■TOSHIBA Face Recognition records face data in a log when face
recognition fails. When transferring ownership or disposing of your
computer, please uninstall the application or delete all the logs created
by the application. For details on how to do this, see help file.
■TOSHIBA Face Recognition can be used only in Windows Vista and
Windows 7.

angle when you place it in the disc tray. After seating the disc, however,
make sure it lies flat.
■Do not touch the laser lens or any portion of its surrounding casing as
this could cause misalignment.
■Prevent foreign objects from entering the drive. Check the surface of
the disc tray, especially the area behind the front edge of the disc tray,
to make sure there are no such objects before closing the drive.
