Getting Started
■ 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 backup internal storage of the tablet to
an external media. General storage media is not durable or stable over
long periods of time and under certain conditions may result in data
loss.
Connecting the AC adaptor
Use only the tablet connected to an AC power source or TOSHIBA Tablet
Dock to charge the battery. Never attempt to charge the battery with any
other charger.
The AC adaptor can automatically adjust to any voltage ranging from 100 to
240 volt and to a frequency of either 50 or 60 hertz, enabling you to use this

should buy a power cable that conforms to the safety rules and
regulations in that particular region.
User’s Manual
19
Getting Started
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 will need to be charged before you can operate from battery
power.
■ Always use the TOSHIBA AC adaptor that was included with your
tablet, or use AC adaptors specified by TOSHIBA to avoid any risk of
fire or other damage to the tablet. Use of an incompatible AC adaptor
could cause fire or damage to the tablet 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.
■ When you connect the AC adaptor to the tablet, always follow the steps
in the exact order as described in the User’s Manual. Connecting the
plug to a live electrical outlet should be the last step otherwise the 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 tablet or AC adaptor on a wooden surface, furniture,
or any other surface that could be marred by exposure to heat since
the tablet base and AC adaptor's surface increase in temperature
during normal use.
■ Always place your tablet or AC adaptor on a flat and hard surface that
is resistant to heat damage.
1. Insert the provided replaceable plug into the AC adaptor.
2. Plug the USB connector of the power cable into the USB port on the AC
adaptor.

specific standards. If you reformat a microSD/SDHC memory card, be sure
to reformat it with a device such as digital camera or digital audio player
that uses the microSD/SDHC 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.
Card care
■ 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

Troubleshooting
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
tablet - this includes any other external device you are using.
■ Before you attach an external device you should first turn the tablet off,
then when you turn your tablet back on again it will recognize the new
device.
■ Make sure all optional accessories are configured properly in the
tablet's setup program (please refer to the documentation included with
the optional accessories for further information on its installation and
configuration).
■ Check all cables to ensure they are correctly and firmly attached to the
tablet - loose cables can cause signal errors.
■ Inspect all connecting cables for loose wires and all connectors for
loose pins.
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 your
reseller, dealer or service provider. In addition, if a problem recurs, the log
you have made will help to identify the problem faster.
