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 Trade  
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.

Connecting to a power source  
Your device requires power to operate. Use the power cord/cable  
and 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 AC adaptor that was provided with your  
device, or use AC adaptors specified by Toshiba to avoid any risk of  
fire or other damage to the device. Use of an incompatible AC  
adaptor could cause fire or damage to the device possibly resulting  
in serious injury. Toshiba assumes no liability for any damage  
caused by use of an incompatible adaptor.

Charging the battery  
Your device contains a rechargeable battery that may need to be  
charged prior to use.  
To use external power or to charge the battery you must attach the  
AC adaptor. See “Connecting to a power source” on page 29.  
To charge the battery, leave the device plugged into an AC power  
source with the device turned off until the battery light glows white.  
After that, the battery will be completely charged and ready to  
power the device.  
Once the battery is charged for the first time, avoid leaving the device  
plugged in and turned off for more than a few hours at a time.  
Continuing to charge a fully charged battery can damage the battery.  
TECHNICAL NOTE: The recharging of the battery cannot occur when  
your device is using all of the power provided by the AC adaptor to  
run applications, features, and external devices.  
NOTE  
Battery life and charge time may vary depending on the external  
conditions, or the applications and features used.  
NOTE  
Please handle your device carefully to avoid scratching or damaging  
the surface.

Disposing of used batteries  
38  
Disposing of used batteries  
The life of a battery depends on usage. When the battery needs  
replacing, the battery light flashes amber shortly after you have  
fully recharged the battery.  
You must discard a battery if it becomes damaged.  
Never attempt to dispose of a battery pack by burning or by  
throwing it into a fire, and never allow exposure to a heating  
apparatus (e.g., microwave oven).  
Always dispose of used battery packs in compliance with all  
applicable laws and regulations.  
Always use the battery pack supplied as an accessory or an  
equivalent battery specified in the User's Guide. Other battery packs  
have different voltage and terminal polarities. Use of non-conforming  
batteries could generate smoke or cause fire or rupture, possibly  
resulting in serious injury.  
After repeated use, the batteries will finally lose their ability to hold  
a charge and you will need to replace them. Under certain  
applicable laws and regulations, it may be illegal to dispose of old  
batteries by placing them in the trash.  
Please be kind to our shared environment. Check with your local  
government authority for details regarding where to recycle old  
batteries or how to dispose of them properly. If you cannot find the  
information you need elsewhere, call Toshiba at: (800) 457-7777.  
In addition, Toshiba’s recycling initiatives include recycling  
programs, events, and consumer promotions. For details, please  
Toshiba is dedicated to preserving the environment by sponsoring  
Call2Recycle®, a program of the Rechargeable Battery Recycling  
Corporation. For more information and for drop-off locations, visit

Securing your tablet  
If you choose to set a password (with or without encryption), Toshiba  
it in a safe location where you can later access it should you not  
remember it.  
Toshiba is not responsible for any losses that may occur, as a result  
of the inability to access your device.  
When you initially turn on or wake the tablet, the lock screen  
requires you to drag the Lock ( ) icon to unlock the screen, see  
“Waking the tablet” on page 43. Alternatively, you can secure the  
lock screen by requiring a pattern or entry of a numeric PIN or  
password, so only you can access your data. You may also be  
required to secure the lock screen by a policy set by an email  
account or other account you add to your tablet. For more  
information, see “Location and security settings” on page 73.  
You can also encrypt the data on your tablet, so you must enter a  
numeric PIN or a password to decrypt it each time you power it on.

Turning off the device  
57  
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 and make sure all disk activity lights  
are off.  
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 “Screen settings” on  
page 72.  
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.

A pop-up screen appears, asking whether you would like to  
shut down.  
(Sample Image) Shut down pop-up screen  
2
In the pop-up window, touch OK to completely shut down the  
tablet.  
The operating system shuts down and the tablet turns off.  
3
Touch Cancel to abort the shut down process.  
Using Sleep mode  
Your device will automatically time-out after a few 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 43. To change the amount of time it takes for the display to  
darken, touch the Apps (  
) icon, swipe to the second screen  
and touch the Settings ( ) icon, and then the Screen ( ) icon.  
Increase battery life between charges by using the shortest available  
time-out setting. See “Screen settings” on page 72.  
NOTE  
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.

Syncing and managing your accounts

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.  
Syncing and managing your accounts  
Using the Accounts & Sync settings, you can configure the ways in  
which your account interacts with the applications on your tablet,  
and you can sync contacts, email, calendar events, etc. from your  
multiple Google™ Accounts.

Power and the batteries  
107  
Power and the batteries  
Your device receives its power through the AC adaptor and power  
cord/cable or from the system battery. Power problems are  
interrelated. For example, a faulty AC adaptor or power cord/cable  
will neither power the device nor recharge the batteries.  
Here are some typical problems and how to solve them:  
The Power light does not come on when you plug in the AC  
adaptor and power cord/cable.  
Make sure the AC adaptor and power cord/cable are firmly plugged  
into both the wall outlet and the device.  
If the Power light still does not come on, check that the wall outlet  
is working properly by plugging in a lamp or other appliance.  
The AC adaptor and power cord/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 not be inserted correctly in the device. Turn off the  
device, remove the battery, clean the contacts with a soft dry cloth  
(if necessary) and replace the battery. See “Removing the battery  
from the device” on page 32.  
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.  
If the battery light does not glow after a few minutes, the battery  
The battery appears not to power the device for as long as it  
usually does.  
If you frequently repeat shallow charge and discharge, the battery  
meter may become inaccurate. Let the battery discharge  
completely, then try charging it again.  
Check the power options. For more information, see “Optimizing  
battery life” on page 36. Have you added a device, such as a  
memory module, that takes its power from the battery? 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.

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 purchase a new battery, see your accessories  
information included with your device, or visit the Toshiba Web site  
at accessories.toshiba.com. Refer to this site often to stay current on  
the most recent software and hardware options for your device, and  
for other product information.

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 “Screen  
settings” on page 72.You can also choose a theme for your Home  
screen background (Wallpaper).  
Small bright dots appear on your TFT display 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. 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 71.  
No sound is coming from the device’s speakers.

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 44.  
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.

screen. Touching one opens the app without having to first  
open the Apps screen. See also icon.  
backup—A copy of a file, usually on a removable disk, kept in case the  
B
original file is lost or damaged.  
baud rate—The speed at which a communication device, such as a  
printer or modem, transmits information. Baud rate is the number of  
signal changes per second (not necessarily the same as bits per  
second). See also bits per second.  
bits per second (bps)—A way of measuring the speed at which  
information is passed between two devices. This is the basic unit of  
measure used in modem communications, and is similar, but not  
identical, to the baud rate. See also baud rate.  
Bluetooth—A proprietary open wireless technology standard that uses  
short wavelength radio transmissions to exchange data over short  
distances. Bluetooth can transmit from fixed and mobile devices,  
and provides a high level of security.  
Bookmark—A Shortcut can be created and placed on a Home screen  
from a selected browser bookmark. Touching the icon opens the  
Web browser to the chosen bookmarked page. See also icon.
