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.  
Turn Wi-Fi®, Bluetooth®, and Wireless WAN  
Functionalities off for Cardiac Pacemakers  
Turn Wi-Fi®, Bluetooth®, and Wireless WAN  
functionality off when you are 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 instructions of your medical device  
when using any Wi-Fi® or Bluetooth® or Wireless WAN  
functionally.

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  
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 42 for more information.  
Scan all new files for viruses.  
This precaution is especially important for files you  
Internet.

Turning off the device  
56  
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.  
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  
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 71.

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.  
(Sample Image) Shut down pop-up screen

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 40. 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 71.  
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.  
When starting up again, the device returns to the screen  
last viewed.  
If you place the device in Sleep mode and the battery  
discharges fully, your unsaved data will be lost. Be sure  
to backup your data first.  
Managing your accounts

Chapter 6  
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 operating system is not working  
107  
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  
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”“About tablet” on page 83.

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

Power and the batteries  
108  
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.  
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 30. 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  
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 28.

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 71.  
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 70.  
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.

understanding of networks, and may be for more  
advanced users. If you need assistance or if you are not  
familiar with the terminology, please contact Toshiba.  
Your device is equipped with an internal Wi-Fi® adapter.  
Verify that your Wireless connection is enabled. For more  
information, see “Setting up Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth®  
connections” on page 41.  
Verify that your device can detect access points or  
routers. If it can detect a Wi-Fi® access point or router  
then it may be a configuration issue.  
Verify that the signal strength is good.  
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.

uses light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as the source of light,  
which offers long life and high efficiency output. Multiple

electrodes permits only non-polarized light to pass to the  
surface of the display, creating light and dark pixels.
