ENERGY STAR® Program  
Your Computer model may be ENERGY STAR®  
compliant. If the model you purchased is compliant, it is  
labeled with the ENERGY STAR logo on the computer and  
the following information applies.  
TOSHIBA is a partner in the ENERGY STAR Program and  
has designed this computer to meet the latest ENERGY  
STAR guidelines for energy efficiency. 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.  
To conserve energy, your computer is set to enter the low-  
power Sleep Mode which shuts down the system and  
display within 15 minutes of inactivity in AC power mode.  
TOSHIBA recommends that you leave this and other  
energy saving features active, so that your computer will  
operate at its maximum energy efficiency. You can wake  
the computer from Sleep Mode by pressing the power  
button.  
Products that earn the ENERGY STAR prevent  
greenhouse gas emissions by meeting strict energy  
efficiency guidelines set by the US EPA and the EU  
Commission. According to the EPA, a computer meeting  
the new ENERGY STAR specifications will use between  
20% and 50% less energy depending on how it is used.  
Visit http://www.eu-energystar.org or http://  
www.energystar.gov for more information regarding the

General Precautions  
TOSHIBA computers are designed to optimize safety, minimize strain and  
withstand the rigors of portability. However, certain precautions should be  
observed to further reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the  
computer.  
Be certain to read the general precautions below and to note the cautions  
included in the text of the manual.  
Provide adequate ventilation  
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 base  
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.  
Always provide sufficient space around 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.  
Creating a computer-friendly environment  
Place the computer on a flat surface that is large enough for the computer  
and any other items you are using, such as a printer.  
User's Manual  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
1-12  
 
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.  
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.  
Stress injury  
Carefully read the Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort. It contains  
information on the prevention of stress injuries to your hands and wrists  
that can be caused by extensive keyboard use. It also includes information  
on work space design, posture and lighting that can help reduce physical  
stress.  
Heat injury  
Avoid prolonged physical contact with the computer. If the computer is  
used for long periods, its surface can become very warm. While the  
temperature will not feel hot to the touch, if you maintain physical  
contact with the computer for a long time, for example if you rest the  
computer on your lap or if you keep your hands on the palm rest, your  
skin might suffer a low-heat injury.  
If the computer has been used for a long time, avoid direct contact  
with the metal plate supporting the various interface ports as this can  
become hot.  
The surface of the AC adaptor can become hot when in use but this  
condition does not indicate a malfunction. If you need to transport the  
AC adaptor, you should disconnect it and let it cool before moving it.  
Do not lay the AC adaptor on a material that is sensitive to heat as the  
material could become damaged.  
Pressure or impact damage  
Do not apply heavy pressure to the computer or subject it to any form of  
strong impact as this can damage the computer's components or otherwise  
cause it to malfunction.  
Cleaning the computer  
To help ensure long, trouble-free operation, keep the computer free of dust  
and dirt, and use care with all liquids around it.  
User's Manual

1-13  
 
Be careful not to spill liquids into the computer. If the computer does  
get wet, turn the power off immediately and let the computer dry  
completely - in these circumstance you should get the computer  
inspected by an authorized service provider in order to assess the  
scope of any damage.  
Clean the plastics of the computer using a slightly water dampened  
cloth.  
You can clean the display screen by spraying a small amount of glass  
cleaner onto a soft, clean cloth and then wiping the screen gently with  
the cloth.  
Never spray cleaner directly onto the computer or let liquid run into any part  
of it. Never use harsh or caustic chemical products to clean the computer.  
Moving the computer  
While the computer is designed for flexible day-to-day usage you should  
exercise a few simple precautions when moving it in order to help ensure  
trouble-free operation.  
Make sure all disk/disc activity has ended before moving the  
computer.  
Turn off (shut down) the computer.  
Disconnect the AC adaptor and all peripherals before moving the  
computer.  
Close the display panel.  
Do not pick up the computer by its display panel.  
Before carrying your computer, shut it down, disconnect the AC  
adaptor and allow it to cool down - a failure to follow this instruction  
may result in minor heat injury.  
Be careful not to subject the computer to impact or shock - a failure to  
follow this instruction could result in damage to computer, computer  
failure or loss of data.  
Never transport your computer with any cards installed - this may  
cause damage to either the computer and/or the card resulting in  
computer failure.  
Always use a suitable carry case when transporting the computer.  
When carrying your computer, be sure to hold it securely so that it  
does not fall or hit anything.  
Do not carry your computer by holding any of its protruding elements.  
Mobile phones  
Please be aware that the use of mobile phones can interfere with the audio  
system. The operation of the computer will not be impaired in any way, but  
it is recommended that a minimum distance of 30cm is maintained between  
the computer and a mobile phone that is in use.

Using your computer for the first time  
Be sure to read the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort for  
information on the safe and proper use of this computer. It is intended to  
help you be more comfortable and productive while using a notebook  
computer. By following the recommendations in it you may reduce your  
chance of developing a painful or disabling injury to your hand, arms,  
shoulders or neck.  
This section provides basic information to start using your computer. It  
covers the following topics:  
Connecting the AC adaptor  
Opening the display  
Turning on the power  
Initial setup  
Getting to know Windows  
Use a virus-check program and make sure it is updated regularly.  
Never format storage media without checking its content - formatting  
destroys all stored data.  
It is a good idea to periodically back up the internal Hard Disk Drive or  
other main storage device to external media. General storage media is  
not durable or stable over long periods of time and under certain  
conditions may result in data loss.  
Before you install a device or application, save any data in memory to  
the Hard Disk Drive or other storage media. Failure to do so may  
result in the loss of data.  
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 automatically adjust to any voltage ranging from 100  
to 240 volts and to a frequency of either 50 or 60 hertz, enabling you to use  
this computer in almost any country/region. The adaptor converts AC  
power to DC power and reduces the voltage supplied to this computer.  
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 computer 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 this 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.

Sleep Mode  
If you have to interrupt your work, you are able to turn off the power without  
exiting from your software by placing the computer into Sleep Mode. In this  
mode data is maintained in the computer's main memory so that when you  
turn on the power again, you can continue working right where you left off.  
When you have to turn off your computer aboard an aircraft or in places  
where electronic devices are regulated or controlled, always completely  
shut down the computer. This includes turning off any wireless  
communication functionalities, and cancelling settings that reactivate the  
computer automatically, such as a timer recording function. Failure to  
completely shut down the computer in this way could allow the operating  
system to reactivate and run pre-programmed tasks or preserve unsaved  
data, which could interfere with aviation or other systems, possibly causing  
serious injury.

Store the battery for the remote control beyond the reach of children. If a  
child swallows a battery, this might result in choking. If it happens, contact  
a doctor immediately.  
Observe the following precautions when using the battery of the Remote  
Controller.  
Do not use battery other than those specified.  
Ensure that you insert the battery with its polarities correctly aligned (+  
or -).  
Do not recharge, heat, disassemble or short the battery, or put it into a  
fire or flame.  
Do not use a battery whose "recommended expiration date" has been  
reached, or which is completely discharged.  
Do not carry the battery together with metal necklaces, hairpins or  
other metal accessories.  
When storing or disposing of used batteries, make sure to put some  
insulation tape on their terminals (+ and -) to avoid short-circuits.  
If these precautions are not followed, heating, fluid leakage or explosion  
may occur. This may cause burns or personal injury. If battery fluid gets on  
your skin or clothes, wash immediately with clean water. If battery fluid gets

When the disc tray is fully opened, the edge of the computer will cover the  
disc tray slightly. Therefore, you will need to turn the disc at an 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.  
4. Press gently at the center of the disc until you feel it click into place.  
The disc should lie below the top of the spindle, flush with the spindle  
base.  
5. Push the center of the disc tray to close it. Press gently until it locks  
into place.  
If the disc is not seated properly when the disc tray is closed, the disc might  
be damaged. Also, the disc tray might not open fully when you press the  
eject button.  
Removing discs  
To remove the disc, follow the steps as detailed below:  
Do not press the eject button while the computer is accessing the optical  
disc drive. Wait for the optical disc drive indicator to go out before you open  
the disc tray. Also, if the disc is spinning when you open the disc tray, wait  
for it to stop before you remove it.

The 2Dto3D conversion function uses TOSHIBA's original algorithm to  
apply a 3D effect to your own 2D videos. However, note that this  
function does not provide the same video content as a video originally  
provided in 3D, and does not create a new video in the 3D format but  
only plays 2D videos in a 3D like mode.  
The 2Dto3D conversion function is meant for the enjoyment of your  
own 2D home video and other 2D contents you created, in 3D  
according to your personal preferences.  
The TOSHIBA VIDEO PLAYER is set by default in the 2D format. By  
pressing the 2Dto3D conversion function button, you decide to

Notes on 3D Playback for TOSHIBA Blu-ray Disc Player  
The 3D playback function can playback 3D video content, and your 2D  
home video content and other 2D content created by you (DVD or video  
file) in 3D using real-time 2Dto3D conversion.  
The 3D playback function CANNOT be used to playback 2D video  
contents of Blu-ray Disc or AVCHD in 3D using real-time 2Dto3D  
conversion.  
The Player's 3D playback function is meant for only personal home  
use. Please take note that applicable copyright laws may prohibit the  
public display when you offer 3D viewing of third party video contents  
to unidentified personels or mass public.  
The 2Dto3D conversion function uses TOSHIBA's original algorithm to  
apply a 3D effect to your own 2D videos. However, note that this  
function does not provide the same video content as a video originally  
provided in 3D, and does not create a new video in the 3D format but  
only plays 2D videos in a 3D like mode.  
The picture generated by 2Dto3D conversion function is not the same  
as a picture produced for 3D playback use. The 2Dto3D conversion  
function simply uses TOSHIBA's original algorithm to apply pseudo 3D  
effect to the 2D content.  
The Player is set by default in the 2D format. By pressing the 2Dto3D  
conversion function button, you decide to activate the 2Dto3D  
conversion function and therefore decide to watch your 2D content in  
3D. The Player will not run the 2Dto3D conversion function  
automatically. Please see the warnings in this section as regards  
potential copyright infringement and confirm you have any necessary  
authorization.

Real Time Clock (RTC) battery  
The Real Time Clock (RTC) battery provides power for the internal real  
time clock and calendar function and also maintains the system  
configuration while the computer is turned off. If the RTC battery becomes  
completely discharged, the system will lose this information and the real  
time clock and calendar will stop working.  
You can change the Real Time Clock settings in the BIOS setup utility.  
Please refer to Troubleshooting for further information.  
Care and use of the battery pack  
This section provides the important safety precautions in order to handle  
your battery pack properly.  
Refer to the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort for  
detailed precautions and handling instructions.  
The computer's RTC battery is a lithium ion battery and should be  
replaced only by your dealer or by a TOSHIBA service representative.  
The battery can explode if not properly replaced, used, handled or  
disposed.  
Charge the battery pack only in an ambient temperature between 5  
and 35 degrees Celsius. Otherwise, the electrolyte solution might leak,  
battery pack performance might deteriorate and the battery life might  
be shortened.  
Charging the batteries  
When the power in the battery pack becomes low, the DC IN/Battery  
indicator will flash amber to indicate that only a few minutes of battery  
power remain. If you continue to use the computer while the DC IN/Battery  
indicator flashes, the computer will enable Hibernation Mode so that you do  
not lose any data, and automatically turn itself off.  
You must recharge a battery pack when it becomes discharged.  
Procedures  
To recharge a battery pack, connect the AC adaptor to the DC IN 19V jack  
and plug the other end into a working outlet - the DC IN/Battery indicator  
will glow amber while the battery is being charged.  
Charging Time  
The following table shows the approximate time required to fully charge a  
discharged battery.

3 hours  
Battery pack (47Wh, 8 2.5 hours max  
cell)  
2.5 hours  
Please be aware that the charging time when the computer is on is affected  
by ambient temperature, the temperature of the computer and how you are  
using the computer - if you make heavy use of external devices for  
example, the battery might scarcely charge at all during operation.  
Battery charging notice  
The battery may not begin charging immediately under the following  
conditions:  
The battery is extremely hot or cold (if the battery is extremely hot, it  
might not charge at all). To ensure the battery charges to its full  
capacity, you should charge it at room temperature of between 5°C to  
35°C (41°F to 95°F).  
The battery is nearly completely discharged. In this instance you  
should leave the AC adaptor connected for a few minutes and the  
battery should begin charging.  
The DC IN/Battery indicator may show a rapid decrease in battery  
operating time when you try to charge a battery under the following  
conditions:  
The battery has not been used for a long time.  
The battery has completely discharged and been left in the computer  
for a long time.  
In such cases you should follow the steps as detailed below:  
1. Fully discharge the battery by leaving it in the computer with the power  
on until the system automatically turns itself off.  
2. Connect the AC adaptor to the DC IN 19V jack of the computer, and to  
a wall outlet that is supplying power.  
3. Charge the battery until the DC IN/Battery indicator glows white(P70-  
A)/red(X70-A).  
Repeat these steps two or three times until the battery recovers normal  
capacity.  
Monitoring battery capacity  
Remaining battery power can be monitored using the following methods.  
Clicking the battery icon on the Taskbar  
Via the Battery Status in the Windows Mobility Center window  
User's Manual  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
4-30  
 
You should wait at least 16 seconds after turning on the computer  
before trying to monitor the remaining operating time. This is because  
the computer needs this time to check the battery's remaining capacity  
and then calculate the remaining operating time, based on this  
together with the current power consumption.  
Please be aware that the actual remaining operating time may differ  
slightly from the calculated time.  
With repeated discharges and recharges, the battery's capacity will  
gradually decrease. In view of this it will be noted that an often used,  
older battery will not operate for as long as a new battery even when  
both are fully charged.  
Maximizing battery operating time  
A battery's usefulness depends on how long it can supply power on a  
single charge, while how long the charge lasts in a battery depends on:  
Processor speed  
Screen brightness  
System Sleep Mode  
System Hibernation Mode  
Display power off period  
Hard Disk Drive power off period  
How often and for how long you use the Hard Disk Drive and external  
disk drives, for example, optical disc.  
How much charge the battery contained to begin with.  
How you use optional devices, such as a USB device, to which the  
battery supplies power.  
Whether you enable Sleep Mode, which can conserve battery power if  
you are frequently turning the computer off and on.  
Where you store your programs and data.  
Whether you close the display panel when you are not using the  
keyboard - closing the display saves power.  
The environmental temperature - operating time decreases at low  
temperatures.  
Whether you enable Sleep and Charge function.  
Batteries exhausted time  
When you turn off the power of your computer with batteries fully charged,  
the batteries will be exhausted within the following approximate period.

Extending battery life  
To maximize the life of your battery packs:  
At least once a month, disconnect the computer from a power source and  
operate it on battery power until the battery pack fully discharges. Before  
doing so, follow the steps as detailed below.  
1. Turn off the computer's power.  
2. Disconnect the AC adaptor and turn on the computer's power - if it  
does not turn on then go to Step 4.  
3. Operate the computer on battery power for five minutes. If you find  
that the battery pack has at least five minutes of operating time,  
continue operating until the battery pack is fully discharged, however, if  
the DC IN/Battery indicator flashes or there is some other warning to  
indicate a low battery condition, go to Step 4.  
4. Connect the AC adaptor to the DC IN 19V jack of the computer, and  
to a wall outlet that is supplying power. The DC IN/Battery indicator  
should glow amber to indicate that the battery pack is being charged,  
however, in the event that DC IN/Battery indicator does not glow this  
indicates that power is not being supplied - check the connections for  
the AC adaptor and the power cord.  
5. Charge the battery pack until the DC IN/Battery indicator glows  
white(P70-A)/red(X70-A).  
Replacing the battery pack  
Please be aware that the battery pack is classified as a consumable item.  
The operating life of the battery pack will gradually reduce through  
repeated charging and discharging, and will need to be replaced when it  
reaches the end of its operating life. In addition to this, you might also  
replace a discharged battery pack with a charged spare when you are  
operating your computer away from an AC power source for an extended  
period of time.  
This section explains how to remove and install the battery pack, and  
begins with the removal process which is detailed through the following  
steps.  
Do not remove the battery pack while the computer is in Sleep Mode.  
Data is stored in RAM, so if the computer loses power it could be lost.

Points to note about the memory media 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 memory cards and SDXC memory cards.  
SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards appear the same externally.  
However, the logo on memory cards is different, so pay careful  
attention to the logo when purchasing.  
The SD memory card logo is (

Formatting a memory media card  
Memory media cards are sold already formatted in conformity to specific  
standards. If you reformat a memory card, be sure to reformat it with a  
device such as digital camera or digital audio player that uses the memory  
cards, not with the format command provided within Windows.  
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.  
Media care  
Observe the following precautions when handling the card.  
Do not twist or bend cards.  
Do not expose cards to liquids or store in humid areas or lay media  
close to containers of liquid.  
Do not touch the metal part of a card or expose it to liquids or let it get  
dirty.  
After using card, return it to its case.  
The card is designed so that it can be inserted only one way. Do not  
try to force the card into the slot.  
Do not leave a card partially inserted in the slot. Press the card until  
you hear it click into place.  
Set the write-protect switch to the lock position, if you do not want to  
record data.  
Memory cards have a limited lifespan, so it is important to backup  
important data.  
Do not write to a card if the battery power is low. Low power could  
affect writing accuracy.  
Do not remove a card while read/write is in progress.  
For more details on using memory cards, see manuals accompanying the  
cards.

function may not work for compatible ports. In that case, if there is a  
USB port that does not have the Sleep and Charge function, attach  
the mouse or keyboard to it. If all USB ports have the Sleep and  
Charge function, change to disable Sleep and Charge function. The  
USB Wakeup function will now work, but the Sleep and Charge  
function will be disabled.

Using the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Protection  
Some models have the function for reducing the risk of damage on the  
hard disk drive.  
Using an acceleration sensor built into the computer, HDD Protection  
detects vibration shocks and similar signs of movement of the computer,

and automatically moves the Hard Disk Drive head to a safe position to  
reduce the risk of damage that could be caused by head-to-disk contact.  
HDD Protection function does not guarantee that the hard disk drive  
will not be damaged.  
During audio/video playback, when the computer detects a shock or  
vibration and the hard disk drive's head is parked, the playback might  
be temporarily interrupted.  
HDD Protection cannot be used in models that are equipped with  
SSD.  
When vibration is detected, a notification will be displayed on the screen,  
and the icon in the Taskbar will change to the protection state. This  
message is displayed until the OK button is pressed or 30 seconds pass.  
When vibration subsides, the icon returns to the normal state.  
Setting up HDD Protection  
You can change HDD Protection settings.  
To open the utility, clickDesktop -> Desktop Assist -> Tools & Utilities ->  
System Settings -> HDD Protection. The utility can also be started from  
the icon in the Taskbar or from the Control Panel.  
HDD Protection  
You can enable or disable HDD Protection by moving the slider to the right  
or left.  
HDD Protection does not work when the computer is booting, in Sleep  
Mode, in Hibernation Mode, in transition to Hibernation Mode, recovering  
from Hibernation Mode, or powered off. Do not subject the computer to  
vibration or impact while the protection is disabled.  
HDD Protection Message

OFF  
TOSHIBA HDD Protection is disabled.  
Detection Level  
There are four sensitivity levels in which vibrations, impacts and their  
similar signs are detected can be set to OFF, 1, 2 and 3 in ascending  
order. Level 3 is recommended for better protection of the computer.  
However, when the computer is used in a mobile environment or in other  
unstable conditions, setting the detection level to 3 could result in frequent  
execution of HDD Protection, which will slow down Hard Disk Drive reading  
and writing. Set a lower detection level when the speed of Hard Disk Drive  
reading and writing is a priority.  
Different detection levels can be set depending on whether the computer is  
used as handheld or mobile usages, or whether it is used in a stable  
environment such as on a table in the workplace or at home. By setting  
different detection levels for the computer depending on whether it runs  
with the AC power (desktop) or with batteries (handheld or mobile usage),  
the detection level automatically switches according to the power  
connection mode.  
Detection Level Amplification  
When the AC adaptor is disconnected, HDD Detection assumes that the  
computer will be carried and sets the detection level to the maximum for 10  
seconds.  
Default  
You can reset HDD Protection settings to factory default by first clicking  
Default button and then Apply button.  
3D Viewer  
This feature displays a 3D object on the screen which moves in according  
to tilting or vibration of the computer.  
When HDD Protection detects computer vibration the Hard Disk Drive head  
is parked and the 3D object disk rotation will stop. When the head is un-  
parked the disk will begin to rotate again.  
Click 3D Viewer button to start.  
This 3D object virtually represents the Computer's internal Hard Disk  
Drive. This representation may vary from the actual number of disks,  
disk rotation, head movement, part size, shape and direction.  
This feature may use a large amount of CPU and memory on some  
models. The computer may become slow or sluggish when attempting  
to run other applications while the 3D Viewer is displayed.

Troubleshooting  
TOSHIBA has designed this computer for durability, however, should  
problems occur you are able to use the procedures detailed in this chapter  
to help determine the cause.  
All users should become familiar with this chapter as knowing what might  
go wrong can help prevent problems from occurring in the first place.  
Problem solving process  
Resolving problems will be much easier if you observe the following  
guidelines:  
Stop immediately when you recognize a problem exists as taking  
further action may result in data loss or damage, or you may destroy  
valuable problem related information that can help solve the problem.  
Observe what is happening - write down what the system is doing and  
what actions you performed immediately before the problem occurred.  
Make a screenshot of the current display.  
Please also be aware that the questions and procedures described in this  
chapter are meant only as a guide, they are not definitive problem solving  
techniques. In reality many problems can be solved simply, but a few may  
require help from TOSHIBA Support - if you find you need to consult  
others, be prepared to describe the problem in as much detail as possible.  
Preliminary checklist  
You should always consider the simplest solution first - the items detailed  
in this checklist are easy to fix and yet can cause what appears to be a  
serious problem:  
Make sure you turn on all peripheral devices before you turn on the  
computer - this includes your printer and any other external device you  
are using.  
Before you attach an external device you should first turn the  
computer off, then when you turn the computer back on again it will  
recognize the new device.  
Make sure all optional accessories are configured properly in the  
computer's setup program and that all required driver software has  
been loaded (please refer to the documentation included with the  
optional accessories for further information on its installation and  
configuration).

6-1  
   
Check all cables to ensure they are correctly and firmly attached to the  
computer - loose cables can cause signal errors.  
Inspect all connecting cables for loose wires and all connectors for  
loose pins.  
Check that your disc media is correctly loaded  
Always try to make detailed notes of your observations and keep them in a  
permanent error log - this will help you to describe your problems to  
TOSHIBA Support. In addition, if a problem recurs, the log you have made  
will help to identify the problem faster.  
Analyzing the problem  
Sometimes the computer will give you clues that can help you identify why  
it is malfunctioning. In view of this you should keep the following questions  
in mind:  
Which part of the computer is not operating properly - keyboard, Hard  
Disk Drive, display panel, Touch Pad, Touch Pad control buttons - as  
each device will produce different symptoms.  
Check the options within the operating system to ensure that its  
configuration is set properly.  
What appears on the display? Does it display any messages or  
random characters? Make a screenshot of the current display and, if  
possible, look up the messages in the documentation included with the  
computer, software or operating system.  
Check that all connecting cables are correctly and firmly attached as  
loose cables can cause erroneous or intermittent signals.  
Do any indicators light, if so, which ones, what color are they and do  
they stay on or blink? Write down what you see.  
Do you hear any beeps, if so how many, are they long or short and are  
they high pitched or low pitched? In addition, is the computer making  
any unusual noises? Write down what you hear.  
Record your observations so you can describe them in detail to TOSHIBA  
Support.  
Software  
The problems may be caused by your software  
or disk. If you cannot load a software package,  
the media may be damaged or the program  
might be corrupted - in these instances try  
loading another copy of the software if possible.  
If an error message appears while you are using  
a software package you should refer to the  
documentation supplied with it as this will usually  
include a problem solving section or a summary  
of error messages.  
Next, you should check any error messages  
against the operating system documentation.

Hardware  
If you cannot find a software problem, you should  
then check the setup and configuration of your  
hardware. First run through the items in the  
preliminary checklist as described previously  
then, if you still cannot correct the problem, try to  
identify the source - the next section provides  
checklists for individual components and  
peripherals.  
Before using a peripheral device or application software that is not an  
authorized TOSHIBA part or product, make sure the device or software can  
be used with your computer. Use of incompatible devices may cause injury  
or may damage your computer.  
If something goes wrong  
Your computer does not respond to the keyboard commands  
If an error occurs and the computer does not respond to your keyboard

Wireless Devices and your health  
Wireless products, like other radio devices, emit radio frequency  
electromagnetic energy. The level of energy emitted by Wireless products  
however is far much less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by  
wireless devices like for example mobile phones.  
Because Wireless products operate within the guidelines found in radio  
frequency safety standards and recommendations, TOSHIBA believes  
Wireless products are safe for use by consumers. These standards and  
recommendations reflect the consensus of the scientific community and  
result from deliberations of panels and committees of scientists who  
continually review and interpret the extensive research literature.  
In some situations or environments, the use of Wireless products may be  
restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of  
the organization. These situations may for example include:  
Using the Wireless products equipment on board of airplanes, or  
In any other environment where the risk of interference to other  
devices or services is perceived or identified as harmful.  
If you are uncertain of the policy that applies on the use of wireless devices  
in a specific organization or environment (e.g. airports), you are  
encouraged to ask for authorization to use the Wireless device prior to  
turning on the equipment.  
Wireless LAN Technology  
The computer’s wireless communication function supports some wireless  
communication devices.  
Only some models are equipped with both Wireless LAN and Bluetooth  
functions.  
Do not use the Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) or Bluetooth functionalities near a  
microwave oven or in areas subject to radio interference or magnetic  
fields. Interference from a microwave oven or other source can disrupt  
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth operation.  
Turn all wireless functionalities off when near a person who may have  
a cardiac pacemaker implant or other medical electric device. Radio  
waves may affect pacemaker or medical device operation, possibly  
resulting in serious injury. Follow the instruction for your medical  
device when using any wireless functionality.  
User's Manual

7-5  
 
Always turn off wireless functionality if the computer is near automatic  
control equipment or appliances such as automatic doors or fire  
detectors. Radio waves can cause malfunction of such equipment,  
possibly resulting in serious injury.  
It may not be possible to make a network connection to a specified  
network name using the ad hoc network function. If this occurs, the  
new network (*) will have to be configured for all computers connected  
to the same network in order to re-enable network connections.  
* Please be sure to use new network name.  
Security  
TOSHIBA strongly recommend that you enable encryption  
functionality, otherwise your computer will be open to illegal access by  
an outsider using a wireless connection. If this occurs, the outsider  
may illegally access your system, eavesdrop, or cause the loss or  
destruction of stored data.  
TOSHIBA is not liable for the loss of data due to eavesdropping or  
illegal access through the wireless LAN and the damage thereof.

Type of product  
Wireless communication is often subject to local radio regulations.  
Although Wireless LAN wireless networking products have been designed  
for operation in the license-free 2.4GHz and 5GHz band, local radio  
regulations may impose a number of limitations to the use of wireless  
communication equipment.  
Radio Frequency

7-6  
The range of the wireless signal is related to the transmit rate of the  
wireless communication. Communications at lower transmit range may  
travel larger distances.  
The range of your wireless devices can be affected when the  
antennas are placed near metal surfaces and solid high-density  
materials.  
Range is also impacted due to "obstacles" in the signal path of the  
radio that may either absorb or reflect the radio signal.  
Radio Frequency Interference Requirements  
This device is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to  
5.25GHz frequency range.  
High-power radars are allocated as primary users (i.e. priority users) of the  
bands 5.25 to 5.35GHz and 5.65 to 5.85GHz and that these radars could  
cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.  
Bluetooth wireless technology  
Some computers in this series have Bluetooth wireless communication  
function which eliminates the need for cables between electronic devices  
such as computers, printers and mobile phones. When it is enabled,  
Bluetooth provides the wireless personal area network environment which  
is safe and trustworthy, that is quick and easy.  
You cannot use the computer's built-in Bluetooth functions and an external  
Bluetooth adaptor simultaneously. For reference, Bluetooth wireless  
technology has the following features:  
Security  
Two advanced security mechanisms ensure a high level of security:  
Authentication prevents access to critical data and makes it impossible  
to falsify the origin of a message.  
Encryption prevents eavesdropping and maintains link privacy.  
Worldwide operation  
The Bluetooth radio transmitter and receiver operate in the 2.4GHz band,  
which is license-free and compatible with radio systems in most countries  
in the world.  
Radio links  
You can easily establish links between two or more devices, with these  
links being maintained even if the devices are not within a line-of-sight of  
each other.

Legal Footnotes  
Non-applicable Icons  
Certain computer chassis are designed to accommodate all possible  
configurations for an entire product series. Therefore, please be aware that  
your selected model may not have all the features and specifications  
corresponding to all of the icons or switches shown on the computer  
chassis.  
CPU  
Central Processing Unit (CPU) Performance Legal Footnotes.  
CPU performance in your computer product may vary from specifications  
under the following conditions:  
use of certain external peripheral products  
use of battery power instead of AC power  
use of certain multimedia, computer generated graphics or video  
applications  
use of standard telephone lines or low speed network connections  
use of complex modeling software, such as high end computer aided  
design applications  
use of several applications or functionalities simultaneously  
use of computer in areas with low air pressure (high altitude >1,000  
meters or >3,280 feet above sea level)  
use of computer at temperatures outside the range of 5°C to 30°C  
(41°F to 86°F) or >25°C (77°F) at high altitude (all temperature  
references are approximate and may vary depending on the specific  
computer model - contact TOSHIBA support for details).  
CPU performance may also vary from specifications due to design  
configuration.  
Under some conditions, your computer product may automatically shut-  
down. This is a normal protective feature designed to reduce the risk of lost  
data or damage to the product when used outside recommended  
conditions. To avoid risk of lost data, always make back-up copies of data  
by periodically storing it on an external storage medium. For optimum  
performance, use your computer product only under recommended  
conditions. Read additional restrictions in your product documentation.  
Contact TOSHIBA technical service and support, refer to TOSHIBA support  
section for more information.  
64-Bit Computing  
Certain 32-bit device drivers and/or applications may not be compatible  
with a 64-bit CPU/operating system and therefore may not function  
properly.

Memory (Main System)  
Part of the main system memory may be used by the graphics system for  
graphics performance and therefore reduce the amount of main system  
memory available for other computing activities. The amount of main  
system memory allocated to support graphics may vary depending on the  
graphics system, applications utilized, system memory size and other  
factors.  
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.  
Battery Life  
Battery life may vary considerably 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 computer is consuming full power.  
After going through many charge and discharge cycles, the battery will lose  
its ability to perform at maximum capacity and will need to be replaced.  
This is a normal phenomenon for all batteries. To purchase a new battery  
pack, see the accessories information that is shipped with your computer.  
Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Capacity  
1 Gigabyte (GB) means 109 = 1,000,000,000 bytes using powers of 10.  
The computer operating system, however, reports storage capacity using  
powers of 2 for the definition of 1 GB = 230 = 1,073,741,824 bytes, and  
therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity will also  
be less if the product includes one or more pre-installed operating systems,  
such as Microsoft Operating System and/or pre-installed software  
applications, or media content. Actual formatted capacity may vary.

LCD  
Over a period of time, and depending on the usage of the computer, the  
brightness of the LCD screen will deteriorate. This is an intrinsic  
characteristic of LCD technology.  
Maximum brightness is only available when operating in AC power mode.  
Screen will dim when the computer is operated on battery power and you  
may not be able to increase the brightness of the screen.  
Graphics Processing Unit (GPU)  
Graphics processing unit (GPU) performance may vary depending on  
product model, design configuration, applications, power management  
settings and features utilized. GPU performance is only optimized when  
operating in AC power mode and may decrease considerably when  
operating in battery power mode.  
Total Available Graphics Memory is the total of, as applicable, Dedicated  
Video Memory, System Video Memory and Shared System Memory.  
Shared System Memory will vary depending on system memory size and  
other factors.  
Wireless LAN  
The transmission speed over the wireless LAN and the distance over which  
wireless LAN can reach may vary depending on surrounding  
electromagnetic environment, obstacles, access point design and  
configuration, and client design and software/hardware configurations.  
The actual transmission speed will be lower than the theoretical maximum  
speed.  
Copy Protection  
Applicable copy protection standards included in certain media may  
prevent or limit recording or viewing of the media.
