You’ve bought your computer and taken everything out of the

box. You may be asking yourself, “Now, what do I do?” Well, this

chapter explains how to set up your computer, gives you tips on

working comfortably and takes you on a tour of the computer’s

features.

Make Sure You Have Everything

Your computer comes with everything you need to get up and run-

ning quickly. However, before you do anything else, it's a good

idea to make sure you received everything you were supposed to.

This information is listed on the Quick Start Card at the top of the

box.

If any items are missing or damaged, notify your dealer immedi-

ately. For additional help, contact Toshiba as described in “If You

Need Further Assistance” on page 357.

Part I: Getting To Know Your Computer

Select a Place To Work

Your computer is portable, designed to be used in a variety of

circumstances and locations. However, by giving some thought to

your work environment, you can protect the computer and work in

comfort.

Keep the Computer Comfortable

Use a flat surface which is large enough for the computer and any

items you need to refer to while your work. Allow sufficient space

behind the computer for adjusting the display panel. If you're plan-

ning to use a printer or other external device, make sure there's

enough room for it as well.

Leave enough space around the computer and any other devices to

give adequate ventilation. Otherwise they may overheat.

If you are going to use a power outlet, make sure it is nearby and

easily accessible.

To keep your computer in prime operating condition, make sure

your work area is free from:

❖dust, moisture and direct sunlight.

❖corrosive chemicals.

❖sources of water or other liquids that could spill into the

computer.

Ifyouspillaliquid into the computer. If you spillaliquidinto

the keyboard, turn the computer 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.

❖equipment that generates a strong electromagnetic field, such

as stereo speakers or speakerphones.

❖rapid changes in temperature or humidity. Keep the computer

away from sources of temperature change such as air condi-

tioner vents or heaters.

❖extreme heat, cold or humidity. Operate the computer within a

temperature range of 40 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit (5 to 35

degrees Celsius) and a relative humidity of 20 to 80 percent.

Keep Yourself Comfortable

Strain and stress injuries are becoming more common as people

spend more time using their computers. However, if you use your

computer properly, you can work comfortably all day.

When you cannot place your computer in the best position for

working (on a journey for example) be careful to use it for short

periods only.

Using the computer keyboard incorrectly can result in dis-

comfort and possible injury. If your hands, wrists, and/or

arms bother you while typing, discontinue using the com-

puter and rest. If the discomfort persists, consult a physician.

In addition to the hints provided in the following sections, there

are a number of books available on ergonomics, repetitive strain

injury, and repetitive stress syndrome.

Placement of the Computer

Proper placement of the computer and external devices is impor-

tant to avoid stress-related injuries:

❖Place the computer on a flat surface, directly in front of you, at

a comfortable height and distance. When you use the key-

board, your arms and hands should be in a relaxed position

with your forearms parallel to the floor. You should be able to

type without twisting your body or neck, and look at the screen

without slouching.

❖If you plan to use an external monitor, the top of the screen

should be no higher than eye level.

❖Adjust the screen to avoid reflections and glare.

❖If you use a paper holder, set it at the same distance as the

screen. If possible, adjust the holder so that the paper is at the

same height as the screen.

Seating and Posture

When using your computer, sit comfortably and maintain good

posture with your weight evenly distributed.

Proper seating is one of the primary factors in reducing work

strain. Some people find a backless chair more comfortable than a

conventional chair. Whichever type you choose, refer to the fol-

lowing guidelines to adjust your chair for maximum computing

comfort.

Correct posture and positioning of the computer

❖Position your chair so that the keyboard is at or slightly below

the level of your elbow. You should be able to type comfort-

ably with your shoulders relaxed.

Foot rest Approximately90

Part I: Getting To Know Your Computer

If you are using a conventional chair:

❖Your knees should be slightly higher than your hips. If neces-

sary, use a foot rest to raise the level of your knees and ease the

pressure on the back of your thighs.

❖Adjust the back of your chair so it supports the lower curve of

your spine. If necessary, use a cushion to provide extra back

support. Lower back support cushions are available at many

office supply stores.

❖Sit with your back straight so that your knees, hips and elbows

form approximately 90 degree angles when you work. Do not

slump forward or lean back too far.

Lighting

Proper lighting can improve the legibility of the display and

reduce eye strain.

❖Position the display panel (or external monitor) so that sunlight

or bright indoor lighting does not reflect off the screen. Use

tinted windows or shades to reduce glare.

❖Avoid placing your computer in front of a bright light that

could shine directly in your eyes.

❖If possible, use soft, indirect lighting in your computer work

area.

Arms and Wrists

❖Avoid bending, arching, or twisting your wrists. Keep them in

a relaxed, neutral position while typing.

❖Exercise your hands, wrists and arms several times during the

day to improve circulation.

Work Habits

The key to avoiding discomfort or injury from repetitive 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 short breaks to change position, stretch your

muscles, and relieve your eyes. A break of two or three min-

utes every half hour is more effective than one long break after

several hours.

❖Avoid performing repetitive activities for prolonged periods of

time. Plan your work so that you intersperse such activities

with other tasks.

❖Focusing your eyes on your computer screen for long periods

of time can cause eye strain. Look away from the computer

frequently, say every 15 minutes, and focus your eyes on a dis-

tant object for 30 seconds or so.

Find Out Where Everything's Located

If you've never used a notebook computer before, you're probably

wondering how an entire computer can fit into so small a case.

The next few pages take you on a guided tour of the computer and

its components.

Rather than reading through this section, you may prefer to use it

as a reference as you move through the remainder of the manual

and need to locate specific parts of the computer. This information

is also available in the electronic form of this manual, described in

“Using The Electronic Guide” on page 303.

Don't worry if you don't know what some parts of the computer

do. Some items in this tour are for more advanced computing

functions that you may want to use as your computing needs and

skills increase.

The SelectBay™usually holds either a CD-ROM drive module or

a diskette drive module. You can also use it to hold a second hard

module. An external drive chassis holds the diskette drive module

when you install another module in the SelectBay, so the diskette

drive is always available. For more information about the Select-

Bay, see “Swapping Drives in the SelectBay” on page 115.

The SelectBay lock prevents the SelectBay module from being

removed accidentally.

Pressing the display latch lets you open the computer's display

panel. For more information, see “Open the Display” on page 28.

The serial infrared port allows wireless communication with a

computer or other device, such as a printer, that has an infrared

port. There is another infrared port on the back of the computer.

The lights on the system indicator panel provide information

about various system functions. See “The System Indicator Panel”

on page 14 for a description of the panel lights.

working from where you left off. So use this button only if all

other attempts at restarting the computer have failed.

Don’t use a pencil to press the reset button. Pencil lead can

break off inside the computer and damage it. Instead, use a

slender object such as a straightened paper clip.

kette drive port. You use this port to connect the external 3 1/2

inch diskette drive when the CD-ROM drive module is installed in

the computer’s SelectBay.
