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.

Setting up your computer and getting started

RG 5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.3.3

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 2.3.3

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.

Some PC Cards 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

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.

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.

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, discon-

tinue 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

To make the connection, you need a suitable USB cable,

which may come with your printer. Otherwise, you can

purchase one from a computer or electronics store.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for connecting a USB printer

to your computer.

Installing additional memory (optional)

Before you install or remove a memory module, turn off the computer

using the Start menu. If you install or remove a memory module

while the computer is in Standby or Hibernation mode, data will be

lost.

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.

There are two memory slots. Your system may have both

slots occupied.

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

memory module.

To avoid damaging the computer’s screws, use a standard Phillips

no. 1 screwdriver that is in good condition.

Do not install or remove a memory module while the DVD-ROM

drive power is on.

If the computer is on, begin at step 1, otherwise, skip to step
