Setting up your computer and getting started

RG 5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.3.2

Setting up your computer and getting started

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.

WARNING: Using the computer keyboard incorrectly can result in discomfort

and possible injury. If your hands, wrists, and/or arms bother you while

typing, stop using the computer and rest. If the discomfort persists, consult a

physician.

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. Consider the

following when placing your computer.

❖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.

❖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.

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.

6Setting up your computer and getting started

RG 5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.3.2

CAUTION: 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.

CAUTION: Some PC Cards become hot with prolonged use. 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 lengthy periods

of time.

Connecting the AC adapter

The AC adapter enables you to power the computer from an

AC outlet and to charge the computer’s batteries. The AC

power light on the computer glows when the device is

plugged in.

CAUTION: Using the wrong AC adapter could damage your computer. Toshiba

assumes no liability for any damage in such cases.

Never pull directly on the power cable to unplug it. Hold the power plug when

removing the cable from the outlet.

Power Cable and AC Adapter

DANGER: Damaged power cables can cause fire or electric shock. Never

modify, forcibly bend, place heavy objects on top of, or apply heat to the power

cable.

If the power cable becomes damaged or the plug overheats, discontinue use.

There is a risk of electric shock.

Never remove the power plug from the outlet with wet hands. Doing so may

cause an electric shock.

Connecting a printer

You can connect a printer to your computer either directly or

through a port replicator. If your printer is USB-compatible,

you can connect it directly to the computer through a USB

port. If, however, the printer has a parallel or serial interface,

it must be attached to a parallel or serial port on the optional

Advanced Port Replicator.

To confirm the printer’s compatibility, check its

documentation.

For information on connecting the printer to the optional port

replicator, see “Using a printer with the Advanced Port

Replicator” in the Expansion Options chapter of your user’s

guide.

To connect the printer directly to your computer, you need a

suitable USB cable, which may come with your printer.

Otherwise, you can purchase one from a computer or

electronics store.

To connect a printer to your computer:

1Connect the flat end of the USB cable to the USB port.

2Connect the other end of the USB cable to the printer.

3Connect the printer’s power cable to a power outlet and

turn on the printer.

See your printer documentation for additional configuration

steps, or see “Setting up a printer” in the Getting Started

chapter of your electronic user’s guide.

Installing additional memory (optional)

Your computer comes with enough memory to run most of

today’s popular applications. You may want to increase the

computer’s memory if you use complex software or process

large amounts of data.

Depending on your system’s configuration, the memory slot

may be occupied.

You need a standard Phillips no. 1 screwdriver to install a

memory module.
