Chapter 1

Getting Started

This chapter provides tips for using your computer

effectively, summarizes how to connect components, and

explains what to do the first time you use your computer.

Please read the safety instruction information on the Quick

Start document (that shipped with your computer) carefully

and make sure you fully understand the instructions before

you attempt to use your computer in order to avoid potential

hazards that could cause bodily injury, property damage, or

damage the computer.

Selecting a place to work

Your computer is portable and designed to be used in a

variety of circumstances and locations.

Setting up a work environment

Place the computer on a hard flat surface that is large

enough for the computer and any other items you are using,

such as a printer. Leave enough space around the computer

and other equipment to provide adequate ventilation.

Otherwise, they may overheat.

To keep your computer in prime operating condition, protect

your work area from:

❖Dust, moisture, and direct sunlight.

Getting Started

Selecting a place to work

❖When using a notebook for long hours, it may be more

comfortable to dock the notebook and use an external

keyboard, mouse and monitor.

❖The keyboard and mouse (or trackball) should be close

to your elbow level.

❖The mouse should be next to the keyboard to avoid a

reach. If you have to reach, the arm should be supported

in the forearm area by the desk surface or the chair arm

supports.

❖Alternative keyboards, such as the split curved

keyboard, may improve shoulder and arm comfort.

❖Select a mouse that is comfortable for you to use.

❖Don’t rest your wrists on the edge of the keyboard or on

the work surface when typing.

❖The monitor should be about an arm length away while

sitting back in the chair.

❖The monitor should be centered in front of your body.

❖The top of the monitor should be at or slightly below eye

level. A monitor that is too high or too low can cause

awkward head and neck postures and may lead to

discomfort in the neck muscles.

❖If you use bifocals you may need to lower the monitor.

Alternatively, you might consider customized

prescription computer glasses.

Typing style

❖Learn to touch type so that you don’t have to look down

at the keyboard.

❖Type with straight wrists.

❖Type lightly.

❖Learn the keyboard shortcuts for your applications. You

will be more productive.

❖Use the pointing device (e.g., touch pad, Accupoint

®, or

tablet pen whichever is available with your notebook

computer, or other optional pointing devices like mouse

or trackball) with a comfortable hand posture. Avoid

awkward hand postures or high gripping force.

❖It is helpful to change the type of pointing device that

you use on a regular basis to avoid working in just one

hand posture.

Getting Started

Selecting a place to work

Taking breaks and varying tasks

❖Change the way you work so that you are not stuck in

the same posture for long periods of time. Some people

find it comfortable to occasionally stand while using the

notebook. To do this properly, the notebook needs to be

on an elevated surface. Make sure you follow the Good

Working Posture points mentioned above while working.

❖Take short, strategically spaced rest breaks to avoid eye

strain and body fatigue. For example, stand up and walk

around or stretch for a few minutes every hour.

❖Taking regular breaks is especially important if you are

working long hours on your computer or working on a

deadline.

❖If stress at work is affecting your health, try to identify

the sources of the stress and evaluate ways to reduce

the stress.

Mobile computing tips

❖When using the notebook at airports, on airplanes or

trains, or at meetings, make sure that you take the time

to consider the points just mentioned.

❖When working on the road it may be difficult to set up

the notebook in an optimal position. In these situations it

is important that you take frequent breaks and change

your posture frequently to relieve the excess loads on

your body.

❖Be creative, when in a hotel room, use a rolled up

blanket or pillows to provide back support, or to provide

arm support. To position the computer at a good height,

remember to operate the computer on a hard flat stable

surface. Using your computer on a carpet, blanket or

other soft materials can block the air vents including

those located at the base of the computer and possibly

cause overheating of your computer.

Transporting the notebook

Although your notebook is light, carrying it for a long time

may lead to shoulder and arm fatigue. If you carry your

notebook with other items, consider using an ergonomically-

designed computer case.

Getting Started

Selecting a place to work

Seeking additional help

Follow the advice from your employer’s company health and

safety staff. Contact them if you need assistance making

adjustment to your workstation or adjusting the lighting.

Again, if you experience persistent or recurrent pain, ache,

numbness, burning, or stiffness you should promptly see a

qualified health care provider. These sensations may be

caused by serious medical conditions that can be treated.

Precautions

Your computer is designed to provide optimum safety and

ease of use, and to withstand the rigors of travel. You should

observe certain precautions to further reduce the risk of

personal injury or damage to the computer.

❖Avoid prolonged physical contact with the underside or

surface of the computer.

Never allow any liquids to spill into any part of your

computer, and never expose the computer to rain, water,

seawater or moisture. Exposure to liquid or moisture can

cause electric shock or fire, resulting in damage or

serious injury. If any of these eventualities should

accidentally occur, immediately:

1. Turn off the computer.

2. Disconnect the AC adaptor from the power plug

socket and computer.

3. Remove the battery pack, if applicable.

Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious

injury or permanent damage to the computer.

Do not turn on the power again until you have taken the

computer to an authorized service center.

❖Avoid prolonged physical contact with the underside

or surface of the computer.

❖Computer base and palm rest can become hot! Avoid

prolonged contact to prevent heat injury to skin.

Today’s performance computers generate heat under normal

operating conditions, as a function of system activity. Avoid

extended contact between the computer base or palm rest

and your skin. Under certain operating conditions such

prolonged contact between the computer base or palm rest

and your skin may result in skin irritation and/or heat injury.

Getting Started

Selecting a place to work

Consider using a hard computer insulating pad or similarly

suitable hard insulating material when using a computer on

your lap.

Never place a heavy object on the computer and be

careful not to drop a heavy object onto the computer. It

could damage the computer or cause system failure.

❖Never turn off the computer if a drive light indicates a

drive is active.

Turning off the computer while it is reading from or

writing to a disk/disc or flash media may damage the

disk/disc or flash media, the drive, or both.

❖Keep the computer and disks away from objects that

generate strong magnetic fields, such as large stereo

speakers.

Information on some disks is stored magnetically.

Placing a magnet too close to a disk can erase important

files.

Handle discs carefully. Avoid touching the surface of the

disc. Grasp it by its center hole and edge. If you handle

the disc incorrectly, you could damage the disc and

possibly lose data.

❖Scan all new files for viruses.

This precaution is especially important for files you

receive via email or download from the Internet.

Occasionally, even new programs you buy from a

supplier may contain a computer virus. You need a

special program to check for viruses.

Getting Started

Setting up your computer

Important information on your computer’s

cooling fan

Your computer may have a CPU cooling fan that cools the

CPU by drawing outside air into the computer.

Always make sure your computer and AC adaptor have

adequate ventilation and are protected from overheating

when the power is turned on or when an AC adaptor is

connected to a power outlet (even if your computer is in

Sleep mode). In this condition, observe the following:

❖Never cover your computer or AC adaptor with

any object.

❖Never place your computer or AC adaptor near a

heat source, such as an electric blanket or heater.

❖Never cover or block the air vents including those

located at the underside of the computer.

❖Always operate your computer on a hard flat

surface. Using your computer on a carpet or other

soft material can block the vents located at the

underside of the computer.

Overheating your computer or AC adaptor could cause

system failure, computer or AC adaptor damage or a fire,

possibly resulting in serious injury.

The cooling fan location will vary depending on the

computer.

Setting up your computer

TECHNICAL NOTE: You must complete all setup steps

up to and including “Setting up your software” on

page 40 before adding external or internal components

to your computer. These components include, but are

not limited to, a mouse, keyboard, and printer.

Your computer contains a rechargeable main battery that

needs to be charged before you can use it.

To use external power or to charge the battery you must

attach the AC adaptor. See “Connecting to a power source”

on page 38.

NOTE

Getting Started

Connecting to a power source

Please handle your computer carefully to avoid

scratching or damaging the surface.

Connecting to a power source

Your computer requires power to operate. Use the power

cord/cable and AC adaptor to connect the computer to a live

electrical outlet, or to charge the computer’s battery.

Never pull on a power cord/cable to remove a plug from

a socket. Always grasp the plug directly. Failure to follow

this instruction may damage the cord/cable, and/or result

in a fire or electric shock, possibly resulting in serious

injury.

Always confirm that the power plug (and extension cable

plug if used) has been fully inserted into the socket, to

ensure a secure electrical connection. Failure to do so

may result in a fire or electric shock, possibly resulting in

serious injury.

Be careful if you use a multiple connector. An overload on

one socket could cause a fire or electric shock, possibly

resulting in serious injury.

Always use the TOSHIBA AC adaptor that was provided

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.

To connect AC power to the computer:

1Connect the power cord/cable to the AC adaptor.

Handling the cord on this product will expose you to

lead, a chemical known to the State of California to

cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Wash hands after handling.

NOTE

Getting Started

Charging the main battery

2Plug the AC adaptor cord into the DC-IN on the side of

the computer.

To locate your DC-IN port, please refer to your Quick

Start document.

3Connect the power cord/cable to a live electrical outlet.

The AC power light on the indicator panel glows.

Never attempt to connect or disconnect a power plug

with wet hands. Failure to follow this instruction could

result in an electric shock, possibly resulting in serious

injury.

The computer’s main battery light gives you an

indication of the main battery’s current charge:

❖Glows amber while the main battery is being charged

(AC adaptor connected)

❖Glows white when the main battery is fully charged

❖Is unlit when the main battery has discharged, the

battery is not charging, or the AC adaptor is not

plugged into the computer or AC outlet

❖Flashes amber when the main battery charge is low

and it is time to recharge the main battery or plug in

the AC adaptor

If the AC power light flashes amber during charging,

either the main battery is malfunctioning, or it is not

receiving correct input from the AC power supply.

Charging the main battery

The computer battery may not be accessible by the user.

Before using the battery to power the computer, you must

charge the battery.

To charge the battery, leave the computer plugged into an

Chapter 2

Learning the Basics

This chapter gives some computing tips and provides

important information about basic features.

Computing tips

❖Save your work frequently.

Your work stays in the computer’s temporary memory

until you save it to the internal storage drive. If the

network you are using goes down and you must restart

your computer to reconnect, or your battery runs out of

charge while you are working, you will lose all work since

you last saved.

See “Saving your work” on page 70 for further

information.

HINT: Some programs have an automatic save feature

that can be activated. This feature saves your file to the

internal storage drive at preset intervals. See your

software documentation for details.

Learning the Basics

Using the keyboard

❖Back up your files to external media on a regular basis.

Label the backup copies clearly and store them in a safe

place.

It is easy to put off backing up because it takes time.

However, if your internal storage drive suddenly fails, you

will lose all the data on it unless you have a separate

backup copy. For more information, see “Data and

system configuration backup in the Windows ® operating

system” on page 132.

❖Use Error-checking and Disk Defragmenter regularly to

check and optimize disk space and improve

performance.

❖Scan all new files for viruses.

This precaution is especially important for files you

receive via external media, email, or download from the

Internet.

❖Take frequent breaks to avoid repetitive-motion injuries

and eyestrain.

❖Do not turn off the computer if a drive indicator light

indicates a drive is active.

Turning off the computer while it is reading from or

writing to a disk may damage the disk, the drive, or both.

The Windows ®

operating system records information,

such as your desktop setup, during its shutdown

procedure. If you do not let the Windows ® operating

system shut down normally, details such as new icon

positions may be lost.

Using the keyboard

Your computer may be equipped with a 10-key

keyboard, depending on your model.

Chapter 3

Mobile Computing

This chapter covers all aspects of using your computer while

traveling.

Toshiba’s energy-saver design

Your computer enters a low-power suspension mode when it

is not being used, thereby conserving energy and saving

money in the process. It has a number of other features that

enhance its energy efficiency.

Many of these energy-saving features have been preset by

Toshiba. We recommend you leave these features active,

allowing your computer to operate at its maximum energy

efficiency, so that you can use it for longer periods while

traveling.

Running the computer on battery power

The computer contains a Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery that

provides power when you are away from an AC outlet. You

can recharge it many times.

Mobile Computing

Running the computer on battery power

Battery Notice

Battery life rating is for comparison purposes only, and does

not indicate the battery life that will be obtained by any

individual user. Actual 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.

The battery life rating is only achieved on the select models

and configurations tested by Toshiba under the specific test

settings at the time of publication and is not an estimate of a

system’s battery life under any conditions other than the

specific test settings.

Recharge time varies depending on usage. Battery may not

charge while the computer is consuming full power. After a

period of time, the battery will lose its ability to perform at

maximum capacity and will need to be replaced. This is

normal for all batteries.

To ensure that the battery maintains its maximum capacity,

operate the computer on battery power at least once a

month. The Lithium-Ion battery has no memory effect so it is

not necessary to let the battery fully discharge each time.

However, for better accuracy of the battery meter, it is helpful

to fully discharge the battery periodically. Please see

“Maintaining your battery” on page 86 for procedures. If the

computer is continuously operated on AC power, either

through an AC adaptor or a port replicator (if applicable to

your system), for an extended period (more than a month),

the battery may fail to retain a charge. This may shorten the

life of the battery, and may cause the battery meter to be

inaccurate.

For best performance when playing streaming media

(especially streaming video), either power the computer

from its AC adaptor, or set up a power plan that keeps

the computer running at full performance even when

powered from its battery. For more information about

Windows® power plans, see “Power Plans” on page 80.

The computer may also have an internal real-time-clock

(RTC) battery.

NOTE

Mobile Computing

Charging batteries

The RTC battery powers the RTC memory that stores your

system configuration settings and the current time and date

information. It maintains this information for up to a month

while the computer is turned off.

TECHNICAL NOTE: Depending on your system, the RTC

battery may only charge while the computer is turned on.

Power management

Your computer ships with the power management options

preset to a configuration that will provide the most stable

operating environment and optimum system performance for

both AC power and battery modes.

Changes to these settings may result in system

performance or stability issues. Users who are not

completely familiar with the power management

component of the system should use the preset

configuration. For assistance with setup changes,

contact Toshiba’s Customer Support Center.

Charging batteries

The battery needs to be charged before you can use it to

power the computer.

Always use the AC adaptor specified by Toshiba. You

can order a Toshiba AC adaptor from Toshiba’s Web site

at accessories.toshiba.com.

Battery charge time may vary depending on the

applications, power management settings, and features

used.

Charging the main battery

The battery needs to be charged before you can use it to

power the computer.

To charge the main battery, plug the computer into a live

electrical outlet. The battery charges whether the computer

is on or off.

NOTE

Mobile Computing

Charging batteries

TECHNICAL NOTE: The recharging of the battery may

not occur when your computer is using all of the power

provided by the AC adaptor to run applications, features,

and devices. Your computer's Power Options utility can

be used to select a power level setting that reduces the

power required for system operation and will allow the

battery to recharge.

The battery may not start charging immediately under the

following conditions:

❖The battery is extremely hot or cold.

To ensure that the battery charges to its full capacity,

wait until it reaches room temperature (50 to 80 degrees

Fahrenheit, 10 to 26 degrees Celsius).

❖The battery is almost completely discharged.

Leave the power connected and the battery should

begin charging after a few minutes.

HINT: Once the battery is fully charged, we recommend

that you periodically operate your computer on battery

power until the battery discharges completely.

Please make a complete back up of your data to external

media before discharging the battery. For more

information, see “Backing up your work” on page 71

Charging the RTC battery

Your computer may have an internal real-time clock (RTC)

battery. The RTC battery powers the System Time Clock and

BIOS memory used to store your computer’s configuration

settings. When fully charged, it maintains this information for

up to a month when the computer is powered off.

The RTC battery may have become completely discharged

while your computer was shipped, resulting in a CMOS error

message during startup. The error message may vary by

computer model.

Mobile Computing

Using the eco power plan

To edit a plan or to edit advanced settings, continue to

the following steps.

5Click or touch Change plan settings to choose the

plan you want to edit.

This screen allows you to change basic settings.

6Click or touch Change advanced power settings to

access settings for battery notification levels, internal

storage drive power save time, etc.

You can click or touch the plus signs to expand each

item and to see what settings are available for each item.

7Click or touch OK to save the plan changes you have

performed.

Depending on your model, the two power plans eco and

Balanced are satisfactory for most people and do not need

to be edited. The eco plan is the best used for maximum

battery time. The Balanced plan is a compromise between

battery time and performance.

Using the eco power plan

This computer is equipped with the eco power plan.

Operating the computer with this power plan enabled

reduces electrical power consumption by slightly lowering

system performance. For example, when this power plan is

enabled, the brightness of the display is reduced and the

interval before Sleep mode takes effect is shortened. To

enable or disable the eco power plan, see “Power Plans” on

page 80.

The eco Utility® monitors your power savings from using the

eco power plan by tracking real-time power consumption

and accumulated savings over time. To learn how to access

the utility, see “eco Utility®

” on page 101.

For more information on the eco power plan, see the Help

file in the eco Utility® window.
