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.

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.

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

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
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.

In the pop-up window, touch OK to completely shut down the
tablet.
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.

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.

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.

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.
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.
