Wireless Interoperability  
The Toshiba Wireless LAN Card products are designed to be interoperable with  
any wireless LAN product that is based on Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum  
(DSSS) radio technology, and is compliant to:  
The IEEE 802.11 Standard on Wireless LANs (Revision A/B/G), as defined  
and approved by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers.  
The Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi®) certification as defined by the Wi-Fi  
Alliance. The “Wi-Fi CERTIFIED” logo is a certification mark of the Wi-Fi  
Alliance.  
Bluetooth® and Wireless LAN devices operate within the same radio  
frequency range and may interfere with one another. If you use Bluetooth®  
and Wireless LAN devices simultaneously, you may occasionally experience  
a less than optimal network performance or even lose your network  
connection.  
If you should experience any such problem, immediately turn off your  
Bluetooth® or Wireless LAN device.  
Please contact Toshiba product support on Web site  
http://www.toshiba-europe.com/computers/tnt/bluetooth.htm in Europe or  
tabletsupport.toshiba.com in the United States for more information.  
Wireless LAN and Your Health  
Wireless LAN products, like other radio devices, emit radio frequency  
electromagnetic energy. The level of energy emitted by Wireless LAN devices  
however is far much less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless  
devices like for example mobile phones.  
Because Wireless LAN products operate within the guidelines found in radio  
frequency safety standards and recommendations, Toshiba believes Wireless  
LAN is 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 LAN may be restricted  
by the proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of the  
organization. These situations may for example include:  
Using the Wireless LAN equipment on board 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 LAN device prior to turning on the equipment.  
Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation  
The radiated output power of the Toshiba Wireless LAN Card is far below the  
FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the Toshiba Wireless  
LAN Card shall be used in such a manner that the potential for human  
contact during normal operation is minimized. The antenna(s) used for this  
transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any  
other antenna or transmitter.  
Specific Absorption Rate (IEEE)  
Your device is designed to be in compliance with Radio Waves exposure  
regulations and does not exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves (radio  
frequency electromagnetic fields) in accordance with the Federal  
Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry Canada (IC). A substantial  
safety margin is set to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of health.  
A unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption rate, or SAR is utilized  
for the radio wave exposure guidelines. The SAR measurement for devices does  
not exceed 1.6W/kg.  
The actual SAR values for your device, while in use, are normally well below the  
stated values. The operating power of your device is automatically decreased  
when full power is not needed for the wireless connection to increase system  
efficiency and to minimize interference on the network. The lower the power  
output of the device the lower its SAR value.  
As stated by the World Health Organization, present scientific information  
indicates no special precautions are needed for the use of this device. To further  
reduce any exposure, limit your usage.

File management tips  
Back up your files to external media on a regular basis. Label  
the backup copies clearly and store them in a safe place.  
As you work with data it exists in the device’s memory. This  
memory is called “volatile memory” because it is only active  
while the device is turned on. When you turn off the device, all  
the data remaining in volatile memory is lost. To help avoid  
data loss, save your work to Internal Storage or network  
storage. Your work (data) will remain in internal storage to be  
called up when you need it. As long as the internal storage  
remains healthy, your data is relatively safe. However on  
occasion, hardware failures do happen. If you experience a  
hardware failure, your data could be lost. As an extra step to  
help avoid data loss, back up your data. See “Backing up your  
data” on page 38 for more information.  
Scan all new files for viruses.  
external media, email, or download from the Internet.  
Toshiba’s online resources  
Toshiba maintains a number of online sites to which you can  
connect. These sites provide information about Toshiba products,

Connecting to a power source  
Your device requires power to operate. Use the USB Power cable  
and USB/AC adaptor to connect the device to a live electrical  
outlet, or to charge the device’s battery.  
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 USB/AC adaptor that was provided with your

Turning off the device  
It is a good idea to turn off your device when you are not using it for  
a while.  
If you are using the device for the first time, leave the device  
plugged into a power source (even though the device is off) to fully  
charge the battery.  
Options for turning off the device  
You have two options available for turning off the device: Shut  
down and Sleep mode. Each option has its advantages.  
Use shut down if you will not be using the device for several  
days or if you must turn off your device.

Getting Started  
Turning off the device  
52  
TECHNICAL NOTE: Before using the shut down option to turn off  
your device, backup your data.  
If you change your mind and decide to continue working after all,  
wait a few seconds before turning the device on again.  
NOTE  
If you do not intend to use your device for a long period of time, turn  
off the device, disconnect the power plug from the plug socket, and  
store your device in a dry dust-free location.  
Letting the screen time-out or enter into Sleep mode allows the  
device to conserve power. When turning on the device again,  
the system automatically returns to the last screen viewed.  
To change the screen time-out setting, see “Display settings”  
on page 67.  
Using Shut down mode  
The Shut down mode completely shuts down the device without  
saving your data or the current state of the device. Shut down mode  
closes all open apps, shuts down the operating system, and then  
turns off your tablet.  
Always back up your data and settings before shutting down your  
tablet.  
To turn off your device using Shut down mode:  
1
Press and hold the Power button.  
A pop-up screen appears, displaying three selections.

Using Sleep mode  
Your device will automatically time-out after a couple minutes of  
non-operation, placing it into Sleep mode. The screen dims and  
then darkens to conserve battery power. For more information on  
waking the tablet from Sleep mode, see “Waking the tablet” on  
page 37. To change the amount of time it takes for the display to  
darken, touch the Settings ( ) icon, and then the Display (  
)
icon.  
NOTE  
Increase battery life between charges by using the shortest available  
time-out setting. See “Display settings” on page 67.  
You can also place your tablet into Sleep mode by pressing the  
Power button quickly.  
Factors to consider when choosing Sleep mode:  
While in Sleep mode, the device uses some battery power.  
Because the state of the system is stored in memory, you will  
lose data if the battery discharges completely while the device  
is in Sleep mode.  
Waking your device from Sleep mode takes less time and  
consumes less battery power than restarting after shutting  
down the device.

If Something Goes Wrong  
Some problems you may encounter when using your tablet are  
relatively easy to identify and solve.  
This chapter aims to help you solve many problems by yourself. It  
covers the problems you are most likely to encounter.  
If all else fails, contact Toshiba. You will find information on  
Toshiba’s support services at the end of this chapter.  
Problems when you turn on the device  
These problems may occur when you turn on the power.  
The device will not start.  
Make sure you attached the USB/AC adaptor and power connector  
cord properly.  
If you are using the USB/AC adaptor, check that the wall outlet is  
working by plugging in another device, such as a lamp.  
Verify that the device is on by looking at the ON/OFF indicator. If  
the indicator is glowing, the device is on. Also, try turning the  
device off and then on.  
The device starts but when you touch an icon nothing  
happens.  
Your device may have an application or resource conflict. Try  
shutting down and restarting.

The operating system is not working  
Once you are familiar with the Home screens and used to the way  
the operating system responds, you can easily detect if the it is not  
working correctly. For example:  
The operating system responds differently from the normal  
routine  
Screens and apps take a long time to load  
The screen does not look right  
Unless a hardware device has failed, problems usually occur when  
you change the system in some way such as installing a new app or  
adding an external device.  
Most issues are solved by “recycling the system’ turning it off then  
back on. If this does not resolve the issue, try uninstalling the most  
recently installed application or disconnecting the most recently  
installed accessory. If this still does not resolve the issue, use the  
About tablet setting to check for available system updates. For more  
information, see “About tablet” on page 78.  
Internet problems

Many factors contribute to the speed with which you can surf the  
Internet. They include: network speed, network conditions, time of  
day (when everyone else is surfing, your access can be slow) and  
popularity of the sites you are trying to access. If accessing a  
particular site is very slow, try later.  
My browser cannot find the URL address I typed in.  
Check the spelling of each name and the syntax of the address  
carefully. A single incorrect letter or missed character will make it  
impossible for your browser to locate the site.  
My browser cannot find a site I bookmarked.

Power and the batteries  
100  
Power and the batteries  
Your device receives its power through the USB/AC adaptor and  
USB/power cable or from the system battery. Power problems are  
interrelated. For example, a faulty USB/AC adaptor or USB/power  
cable will neither power the device nor recharge the batteries.  
Here are some typical problems and how to solve them:  
The USB/AC adaptor and USB/power cable work correctly,  
but the battery will not charge.  
The battery does not charge while the device is consuming full  
power. Try turning off the device.  
The battery may be too hot or too cold to charge properly. If you  
think this is the probable cause, let the battery reach room  
temperature and try again.  
The device does not power on.  
Let the battery discharge completely, then try charging it again.  
Check the power options. For more information, see “Optimizing  
battery life” on page 28. Is your software using the internal storage  
drive more? Is the display power set to turn off automatically? Was  
the battery fully charged to begin with? All these conditions affect  
how long the charge lasts.  
If the device still does not power on, contact your service provider  
immediately.  
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.  
For more information on maintaining battery power, see “Charging  
the battery” on page 27.  
Display problems  
Here are some typical display problems and their solutions:  
The screen does not look correct.  
You can change the display settings by touching the Settings (  
icon on the Home screen. For more information, see “Display  
settings” on page 67.

Sound system problems  
101  
Small bright dots appear on your screen when you turn on  
your device.  
Small bright dots may appear on your screen display when you  
turn on your device. Your display contains an extremely large  
number of thin-film transistors (TFT) and is manufactured using  
high-precision technology. Any small bright dots that may appear  
on your display are an intrinsic characteristic of the TFT  
manufacturing technology.  
The screen does not appear as bright as it used to be  
Over a period of time, and depending on the usage of the device, the  
brightness of the screen will deteriorate. This is also an intrinsic  
characteristic of the screen technology. When the device is operated  
on battery power, the screen will dim and you may not be able to  
increase the brightness of the screen while on battery power.  
Sound system problems  
The sound settings can be configured to your desired user  
preferences. For more information, see “Sound settings” on  
page 66.  
No sound is coming from the device’s speakers.  
Adjust the volume control.  
If you are using external headphones, speakers, or a headset, check  
that they are securely connected to your device.

If you need further assistance  
102  
If another device is on the same network, verify that it has  
network access, and can connect to the Internet. If, for  
example, the other device cannot browse to a public Web site,  
the ISP’s (Internet Service Provider) service may be disrupted.  
Verify that the Service Set Identifier (SSID), or network  
name, is correct - i.e., that it matches the SSID assigned to the  
access point you are attempting to connect through. SSIDs are  
case-sensitive.  
If you have enabled any security provisions (closed system,  
MAC address filtering, Wired Equivalent Privacy [WEP], etc.),  
check the access point vendor's Web site for recent firmware  
upgrades. Problems with WEP keys, in particular, are  
frequently addressed in new firmware releases.  
If you need further assistance  
If you have followed the recommendations in this chapter and are  
still having problems, you may need additional technical assistance.  
This section contains the steps to take to ask for help.  
Before you contact Toshiba  
Since some problems may be related to the operating system or the  
program you are using, it is important to investigate other sources  
of assistance first.  
Try the following before you contact Toshiba:  
Review the troubleshooting information.  
If the problem occurs while you are running a program, consult  
the program’s documentation for troubleshooting suggestions.
