Chapter 2
Getting Started
This chapter provides tips for working comfortably, describes
how to connect components, and explains what to do the first
time you use your notebook computer.
Selecting a place to work
Your computer is portable and designed to be used in a
variety of circumstances and locations.
Creating a computer-friendly environment
Place the computer on a flat surface which is large enough for
the computer and any other items you need to use, such as a
printer. Leave enough space around the computer and other
equipment to provide adequate ventilation and prevent
overheating.
To keep your computer in prime operating condition, protect
your work area from:
❖Dust, moisture, and direct sunlight.
46
Getting Started
Selecting a place to work
❖Equipment that generates a strong electromagnetic field,
such as stereo speakers (other than speakers that are
connected to the computer) or speakerphones.
❖Rapid changes in temperature or humidity and sources of
temperature change such as air conditioner vents or
heaters.
❖Extreme heat, cold, or humidity.
❖Liquids and corrosive chemicals.
If you spill liquid into the computer, turn it off, unplug it from
the AC power source, and let it dry out completely before
turning it on again.
If the computer does not operate correctly after you turn it back
on, contact a Toshiba authorized service provider.
Keeping yourself comfortable
Strain and stress injuries are becoming more common as
people spend more time using their computers. With a little
care and proper use of the equipment, you can work
comfortably throughout the day.
This section provides hints on avoiding strain and stress
injuries. For more information, consult books on ergonomics,
repetitive-strain injury, and repetitive-stress syndrome.
Placement of the computer
Proper placement of the computer and external devices is
important to avoid stress-related injuries.
❖Place the computer on a flat surface at a comfortable
height and distance. You should be able to type without
twisting your torso or neck, and look at the screen
without slouching.
47
Getting Started
Selecting a place to work
❖If you are using an external monitor, the top of the
display should be no higher than eye level.
❖If you use a paper holder, set it at about the same height
and distance as the screen.
Seating and posture
When using your computer, maintain good posture with your
body relaxed and your weight distributed evenly. Proper
seating is a primary factor in reducing work strain. Some
people find a backless chair more comfortable than a
conventional chair.
Correct posture and positioning of the computer
Whichever type you choose, use the following guidelines to
adjust your chair for maximum computing comfort.
❖Position your chair so that the keyboard is at or slightly
below the level of your elbow. You should be able to type
comfortably with your shoulders relaxed and your
forearms parallel to the floor.
If you are using a conventional chair:
❖Your knees should be slightly higher than your hips. If
necessary, use a footrest to raise the level of your knees
and ease the pressure on the back of your thighs.

Getting Started
Selecting a place to work
Work habits
The key to avoiding discomfort or injury from strain is to
vary your activities. If possible, schedule a variety of tasks
into your working day. Finding ways to break up the routine
can reduce stress and improve your efficiency.
❖Take frequent breaks to change position, stretch your
muscles, and relieve your eyes. A break of two or three
minutes every half hour is more effective than a long
break after several hours.
❖Avoid performing repetitive activities for long periods.
Intersperse such activities with other tasks.
❖Focusing your eyes on your computer screen for long
periods can cause eyestrain. Look away from the
computer frequently and focus your eyes on a distant
object for at least 30 seconds.
Precautions
Your notebook computer is designed to provide optimum
safety and ease of use, and to withstand the rigors of travel.
You should observe certain precautions to further reduce the
risk of personal injury or damage to the computer.
❖Avoid prolonged physical contact with the underside of
the computer.
If the computer is used for long periods, its case can
become very warm. While the temperature may not feel
too hot to the touch, if you maintain physical contact with
the computer for a long time (if you rest the computer on
your lap, for example), your skin might suffer low-heat
injury.
❖Never apply heavy pressure to the computer or subject it
to sharp impacts. Excessive pressure or impact can
damage computer components or otherwise cause your
computer to malfunction.
50
Getting Started
Selecting a place to work
❖Some PC Cards can become hot with prolonged use. If
two cards are installed, both can become hot even if only
one is being used. Overheating of a PC Card can result in
errors or instability in its operation.
Be careful when you remove a PC Card that has been
used for a long period.
❖Avoid spilling liquids into the computer’s keyboard.
If you do spill a liquid that gets into the keyboard, turn
off the computer immediately. Leave the computer turned
off overnight to let it dry out before you use it again.
❖Never turn off the computer if a drive light indicates a
drive is active.
Turning off the computer while it is reading from or
writing to a disk may damage the disk, the drive, or both.
❖Keep the computer and disks away from objects that
generate strong magnetic fields, such as large stereo
speakers.
Information on disks is stored magnetically. Placing a
magnet too close to a disk can erase important files.
❖Scan all new files for viruses.
This precaution is especially important for files you
receive via email or download from the Internet.
Occasionally, even new programs you buy from a
supplier may contain a computer virus. You’ll need a
special program to check for viruses. Ask your dealer to
help you.

Connecting the AC adapter
Connecting the AC adapter
Your computer requires power to operate. Use the power
cable and AC adapter to connect the computer to a live
electrical outlet, or to charge the computer’s battery.
Power cable and AC adapter
Use only the AC adapter supplied with your computer or an
equivalent adapter that is compatible. Use of any incompatible
adapter could damage your computer. Toshiba assumes no
liability for any damage caused by use of an incompatible
adapter.
When you connect the AC adapter to the computer, always
follow the steps in the exact order as described in the User's
Manual. Connecting the power cable to a live electrical outlet
should be the last step otherwise the adapter 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.
Hold the power cable by its plug when you connect/disconnect
it. Do NOT pull the cable itself. Doing so may damage the
power cable and result in a short circuit or electric shock.

Turning off the computer
Turning off the computer
It is a good idea to turn off your computer when you are not
using it for a while.
If you are using the computer for the first time, leave the
computer plugged into a power source (even though the
computer is off) to fully charge the main battery. With the
computer off, it may take up to three hours to recharge the
main battery.
When you power down the computer, you have three options
to choose from: Turn Off (or Shut down), Hibernate and
Standby. Each option has its advantages.
❖Use the Turn Off command if you are using the
Windows® XP Home version operating system, or the
Windows® XP Professional operating system when not
connected to a domain server.
❖Use the Shut down command if you are using the
Windows® XP Professional operating system and
connected to a domain server.
❖If you have work in progress and are not connected to a
network, use the Windows® Standby or Hibernate
commands to save your system settings to memory so
that, when you turn on the computer again, you will
automatically return to where you left off.
❖To leave the computer off for a longer period, you can use
the Windows® Turn Off command when not connected to
a domain server or the Shut down when connected to a
domain server instead.
Never turn off the computer while any drive is in use. Doing so
may damage the media in use and result in loss of data.
