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.

Introduction

Welcome to the world of powerful, portable, multimedia

computing. With your Toshiba notebook computer, your work and

entertainment can accompany you wherever you go.

Your Computer model may be ENERGY STAR® compliant. If the

model you purchased is compliant, it is labeled with the ENERGY

STAR® logo on the computer and the following information

applies.

Toshiba is a partner in the Environmental Protection Agency’s

(EPA) ENERGY STAR® Program and has designed this computer

to meet the latest ENERGY STAR® guidelines for energy

efficiency. Your computer ships with the power management

options preset to a configuration that will provide the most stable

operating environment and optimum system performance for both

AC power and battery modes.

To conserve energy, your computer is set to enter the low-power

Sleep mode which shuts down the system and display within 15

minutes of inactivity in AC power mode. We recommend that you

leave this and other energy saving features active, so that your

computer will operate at its maximum energy efficiency. You can

wake the computer from Sleep mode by pressing the power button.

See the “Mobile Computing” section of the Toshiba User’s Guide

for more information on using power management settings to

conserve computer energy.

Introduction

According to the EPA, a computer meeting the new ENERGY

STAR® specifications will use between 20% and 50% less energy

depending on how it is used. If all U.S. household and businesses

replaced old computers with new ENERGY STAR

® qualified

models, we would save more than $1.8 billion in energy costs over

the next five years and avoid greenhouse gas emissions equivalent

to more than 2.7 million cars.

If every computer purchased by businesses next year met the new

ENERGY STAR® requirements, businesses would save more than

$210 million over the lifetime of those models. That is equivalent to

lighting 120 million square feet of U.S. commercial building space

each year.

During 2006 Americans, with the help of ENERGY STAR

®, saved

about $14 billion dollars on their utility bills and avoided

greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to those from 25 million

vehicles.

Visit http://www.energystar.gov or

http://www.energystar.gov/powermanagement for more

information regarding the ENERGY STAR® Program.

This notebook is compatible with European Union Directive

2002/95/EC, Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances

in electrical and electronic equipment (RoHS), which restricts use of

lead, cadmium, mercury, hexavalent chromium, PBB, and PBDE.

Toshiba requires its notebook component suppliers to meet RoHS

requirements and verifies its suppliers’ commitment to meeting

RoHS requirements by conducting component sampling inspections

during the product design approval process.

Chapter 1

Getting Started

This chapter provides tips for using your computer effectively,

summarizes how to connect components, and explains what to do

the first time you use your notebook computer.

The “Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort,” that is shipped

with your computer, contains important safety information. Please

read the safety instructions carefully and make sure you fully

understand the instructions before you attempt to use your

computer in order to avoid potential hazards that could cause bodily

injury, property damage, or damage the computer.

Selecting a place to work

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

circumstances and locations.

Setting up a work environment

Place the computer on a hard flat surface that is large enough for the

Small bright dots may appear on your screen display when you turn

on your computer. 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 computer, the brightness of the screen will

deteriorate. This is also an intrinsic characteristic of the screen

technology. When the computer 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.

feature to prevent programs or people from doing things on your

computer without your permission. If you were trying to perform the

action, click Continue; otherwise, click Cancel. If unsure, cancel and

try again.

Using the TouchPad™

The TouchPad™, the small, rectangular area located in front of the

keyboard, is sensitive to touch and enables you to move the cursor

with the stroke of a finger. Simply move your finger on the

TouchPad in the direction you would like to move the cursor:

❖To move the cursor to the top of the page, push your finger

forward on the TouchPad.

❖To move the cursor to the bottom of the page, drag your finger

toward yourself.

❖To move the cursor to the right side of the page, slide your

finger across the TouchPad from left to right.

❖To move it to the left side, slide your finger from right to left.

Because the TouchPad is much smaller than the display screen,

moving your cursor across the screen often means having to move

your finger several times across the TouchPad in the preferred

direction.

Once you have positioned your cursor, you can click it into place by

either double-tapping the TouchPad or clicking the control buttons.

steps.

Using an external keyboard

If you prefer to use a full-size keyboard, you can attach one to your

computer. The computer’s USB ports support any USB-compatible

keyboard.

Using a mouse

You may want to use a mouse instead of the computer’s built-in

TouchPad. You can use a USB-compatible mouse.

Connecting a printer

You can connect a USB-compatible printer to your computer

through the USB ports. To determine if the printer is USB-

compatible, check its documentation.

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

come with your printer. If a USB cable was not included with your

printer, you can purchase one from a computer or electronics store.

If your printer supports Plug and Play, your computer may

automatically recognize the printer; the printer is then ready for use.

Refer to your printer documentation for further instructions.

TECHNICAL NOTE: To determine if your printer supports Plug and

Play, check its documentation.

If your printer does not support Plug and Play, you can set up the

printer as described in “Setting up a printer” on page 63.

Turning off the computer

Pressing the power button before shutting down the Windows®

operating system could cause you to lose your work. Make sure the

system indicator panel’s disk light and the drive-in-use light are off.

If you turn off the power while a disk/disc is being accessed, you

may lose data or damage the disk/disc and/or drive.

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.

Options for turning off the computer

Depending on the operating system installed, you have more than

one option available for turning off the computer: Shut Down,

Hibernate, and Sleep. Each option has its advantages.

❖Use the Shut Down or Hibernate command if you will not be

using the computer for several days or if you must turn off your

computer.

You must turn off your computer in order to upgrade your

computer’s internal hardware (such as memory).

Getting Started

Turning off the computer

TECHNICAL NOTE: Before using the Shut Down option to turn off

your computer, save your files and make sure all disk/disc activity

lights are off.

If you change your mind and decide to continue working after all,

wait a few seconds before turning the computer on again.

❖Use the Sleep command to save your work, system settings,

and current state of the desktop to memory, so that when you

turn on the computer again, you will quickly and automatically

return to where you left off.

Hibernation mode

Hibernation mode shuts the computer down completely, but it first

saves the current state of the computer to hard disk. Since

Hibernation mode does not require power to maintain the saved

information, system settings are retained indefinitely.

Factors to consider when choosing Hibernation:

❖While in Hibernation mode, the computer uses no main battery

power.

❖Because the state of the system is stored to hard disk, no data is

lost if the main battery discharges.

❖Restarting from Hibernation takes less time and consumes less

main battery power than restarting after turning off the

computer using the Shut down command.

❖Restarting from Hibernation takes a little more time and

consumes more main battery power than restarting from Sleep.

❖When starting up again, the computer returns to the state in

which you left it, including all open programs and files you

were using.

For information on how to use and configure Hibernation mode see

“Using and configuring Hibernation mode” on page 69.

66 Getting Started

Turning off the computer

Sleep mode

The Sleep command places the computer into a power-saving

mode. Sleep saves the current state of the computer to memory so

that, when you restart the computer, you can continue working from

where you left off.

After your computer sleeps for an extended period of time, the

Windows® operating system may save any open documents and

programs to your hard disk, and then shuts down the computer.

Factors to consider when choosing Sleep:

❖While in Sleep mode, the computer uses some main battery

power.

❖Because the state of the system is stored in memory, you will

lose data if the main battery discharges while the computer is

in Sleep mode.

❖Restarting from Sleep takes less time and consumes less main

battery power than restarting after turning off the computer

using the Hibernation or Shut down commands.

❖When starting up again, the computer returns to the mode in

which you left it, including all open programs and files you

were using.

❖If the battery charge becomes critically low, the computer will

try to enter Hibernation mode.

If you power down using the Sleep command and the main battery

discharges fully, your unsaved information will be lost. Be sure to

save your work first.

For information on using Sleep, see “Using and configuring Sleep

mode” on page 72.

Using a computer lock

You may want to secure your computer to a heavy object such as

your desk. The easiest way to do this is to purchase an optional

computer lock cable. For more information on purchasing a cable

lock, visit accessories.toshiba.com.

(Sample Illustration) Computer lock cable

To secure the computer:

1Wrap the cable through or around some part of a heavy object.

Make sure there is no way for a potential thief to slip the cable

off the object.

2Pass the locking end through the loop.

3Insert the cable’s locking end into the security lock slot on your

computer, then engage the locking device.

The computer is now securely locked.

Chapter 2

Learning the Basics

This chapter gives some computing tips and provides important

information about basic features.

Computing tips

❖Save your work frequently.

Your work stays in the computer’s temporary memory until

you save it to the disk. If the network you are using goes down

and you must restart your computer to reconnect, or your

battery runs out of charge while you are working, you will lose

all work since you last saved.

See “Saving your work” on page 84 for further information.

HINT: Some programs have an automatic save feature that can be

activated. This feature saves your file to the hard disk at preset

intervals. See your software documentation for details.

78 Learning the Basics

Computing tips

❖Back up your files to disks (or other removable media) on a

regular basis. Label the backup copies clearly and store them in

a safe place.

It is easy to put off backing up because it takes time. However,

if your hard disk suddenly fails, you will lose all the data on it

unless you have a separate backup copy. For more information,

see “Data and system configuration backup in the Windows

operating system” on page 179.

❖Use Error-checking and Disk Defragmenter regularly to

conserve disk space and improve performance.

❖Scan all new files for viruses.

This precaution is especially important for files you receive via

diskette, email, or download from the Internet.

❖Take frequent breaks to avoid repetitive-motion injuries and

eyestrain.

❖Do not turn off the computer if a drive indicator 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.

❖Before turning off the computer, use the Shut Down command

or Sleep command. See “Using and configuring Sleep mode”

on page 72 to learn more about Sleep.

The Windows® operating system records information, such as your

desktop setup, during its shutdown procedure. If you do not let the

Windows® operating system shut down normally, details such as

new icon positions may be lost.

Learning the Basics

Using the keyboard

Your computer’s keyboard contains character keys, control keys,

function keys, and special Windows® keys, providing all the

functionality of a full-size keyboard.

(Sample Illustration) Keyboard

Character keys

Typing with the character keys is very much like typing on a

typewriter, except that:

❖The space bar creates a space character instead of just passing

over an area of the page.

❖The lowercase letter l (el) and the number 1 are not

interchangeable.

❖The uppercase letter O and the number 0 are not

interchangeable.

Making your keyboard emulate a full-size keyboard

Although your computer’s keyboard layout is compatible with a

standard full-size keyboard, it has fewer keys.

A standard full-size keyboard has two Enter, Ctrl, and Alt keys;

editing keys; cursor positioning keys; and a numeric keypad.

Pressing the Fn key simultaneously in combination with one of the

specially marked keys allows you to emulate a full-size keyboard.

Your computer’s keyboard has only one Enter key. Most of the time,

this does not matter. However, some programs assign separate

functions to the regular and numeric pad Enter keys on the full-sized

keyboard. Using the Fn key, you can simulate the separate key, as

follows: Press Fn and Enter simultaneously to simulate the Enter key

on the numeric pad of the enhanced keyboard.

80 Learning the Basics

Using the keyboard

Ctrl, Fn, and Alt keys

(Sample Illustration) Ctrl, Fn, and Alt keys

The Ctrl, Fn, and Alt keys do different things depending on the

program you are using. For more information, see your program

documentation.

Function keys

The function keys (not to be confused with the Fn key) are the 12

keys at the top of the keyboard.

(Sample Illustration) Function keys

F1 through F12 are called function keys because they execute

programmed functions when pressed. Used in combination with the

Fn key, function keys marked with icons execute specific functions

on the computer. For example, Fn+F9 turns off the TouchPad. For

more information, see “Hot key functions” on page 191.

Special Windows® keys

(Sample Illustration) Special Windows® keys

Your computer’s keyboard has one key and one button that have

special functions in Windows

®:

❖Windows® button—Opens the Start menu

❖Application key—Has a similar function as the secondary

mouse button

Application key

Windows® button

Learning the Basics

Using the keyboard

Overlay keys

The keys with gray numbers and symbols on the front of them form

the numeric and cursor overlay. This overlay lets you enter numeric

data or control the cursor as you would using the 10-key keypad on

a desktop computer’s keyboard.

(Sample Illustration) Numeric and cursor control overlay

Using the overlay to type numeric data

The keys with the numbers on their right front are the numeric

overlay keys.

To turn the numeric overlay on, press Fn and F11 simultaneously.

The numeric mode light on the keyboard indicator panel glows

when the numeric overlay is on.

To disable the numeric overlay, hold down the Fn key and press F11

again. The numeric mode light on the keyboard indicator panel

goes out.

82 Learning the Basics

Starting a program

Using the overlay for cursor control

The keys with the gray arrows and symbols on their left front are

the cursor control overlay keys.

To turn the cursor control overlay on, press Fn and F10

simultaneously. The cursor control mode light on the keyboard

indicator panel glows when the cursor control overlay is on.

To disable the cursor control overlay, hold down the Fn key and

press F10 again. The cursor control mode light on the keyboard

indicator panel goes out.

Starting a program

The easiest way to start a program is to double-click the name of

the file that contains the information you want to work on. To find

the file, use the Start menu or Windows

® Explorer.

If you prefer to open the program first, you have four options. You can:

❖Double-click the icon for the program on your desktop

❖Use the Start menu

❖Use Windows® Explorer or the Start menu to locate the

program file

❖Use the Search or Start Search field in the Start menu

The next three sections explain how to start a program from the

Start menu, Windows® Explorer and the Start Search field.

Starting a program from the Start menu

When you install a program, the operating system usually puts an

icon in the All Programs menu. To start a program that has an icon

in the All Programs menu, follow these steps, which use the

Windows® WordPad program as an example:

1Click Start, and then All .Programs

The Windows® operating system displays the All Programs

menu, which lists programs and program groups. If your

program is listed, go to step 3, otherwise, continue with step 2.

If you pause with your mouse on All Programs, it will open it up. You

may need to scroll up or down to see the complete list.

2Click the program group, in this example, Accessories.

The Accessories menu is displayed.

86 Learning the Basics

Printing your work

Using a file extension

Most programs assign an extension to the file name that identifies

the file as being created in the program with a particular format. For

example, Microsoft® Word saves files with a .doc extension. Any

file name with an extension of “.doc” is assumed to be a Microsoft

Word file. Creating your own extension is usually unwise, since the

program is unlikely to recognize a strange extension and may refuse

to handle your file correctly.

TECHNICAL NOTE: By default, the Windows® operating system does

not show file extensions. For information on showing or hiding file

extensions, see your Windows® online Help.

Printing your work

Ensure the operating system is set up for your printer as described

in “Setting up a printer” on page 63.

HINT: You only need to set up the printer the first time you connect it.

If you use more than one printer or are changing printers, you will

need to set up the Windows® operating system to run with the

additional printer(s).

To print a file:

1If your printer is not on, turn it on now.

2In your Windows®-based application, click File, and then Print.

The program displays a Print dialog box.

88 Learning the Basics

Using the optical drive

Optical storage has become the preferred medium for software,

music, and video. Digital versatile discs (DVDs) provide a

significant increase in data storage and support features that are not

available on any other video platform. These features include wide-

screen movies, multiple language tracks, digital surround sound,

multiple camera angles, and interactive menus.

For these reasons, your computer may come with an optical drive.

TECHNICAL NOTE: Your optical drive is set to play region 1 (North

America) DVD-ROMs. If you play a DVD disc from another region,

the drive will automatically change to play in the format of the other

region. The drive will allow you to change regions four times. On the

fourth change, the region will be “locked in.” That is, the drive will

only play DVDs from that last region. Note that changing from region

1 to region 2 and back to region 1 is counted as two changes.

For optimum DVD performance, it is recommended that you play

DVDs while running the computer on AC power.

When viewing DVD movies use the DVD Player software that came

with your computer.

Optical drive components

The optical drive is located on the side of the computer.

Your optical drive may look like this:

(Sample Illustration) Optical drive

Drive in-use indicator light—Indicates when the drive is in use.

Learning the Basics

Using the optical drive

Do not press the eject button or turn off the computer while the drive

in-use indicator light is glowing. Doing so could damage the disc or

the drive.

When the disc tray is open, be careful not to touch the lens or the

area around it. Doing so could cause the drive to malfunction.

Manual eject hole—Use if you need to release the disc tray when

the power is off. Use a straightened paper clip or other narrow

object to press the manual eject button located inside the hole.

Never use a pencil to press the manual eject button. Pencil lead can

break off inside the computer and damage it.

Media control buttons

(Appearance may vary)

The media control buttons located on the system control panel

above the keyboard let you play audio CDs or DVD movies when

the computer is on.

(Sample Illustration) Media Control buttons

The Mute button allows you to mute the sound.

The Media button activates a media playing application that can

play audio CDs or DVD movies.

The Play/Pause button starts playing the disc or makes it pause if

currently playing.

Taking care of your battery

4Turn the computer right side up.

5Reconnect any cables that were removed in step 3 of

“Removing the battery from the computer” on page 105.

6Restart the computer.

Taking care of your battery

The following sections offer tips on how to take care of your battery

and prolong its life.

Safety precautions

❖If the battery pack produces an odor, overheats or changes

color or shape while it is being used or charged, turn off the

computer’s power immediately and disconnect the power

cord/cable from the power socket. Carefully remove the battery

pack from the computer.

❖Do not try to disassemble a battery pack.

❖Do not overcharge or reverse charge a battery. Overcharging

will shorten its life, and reverse charging could damage it.

❖Avoid touching the metal terminals of the battery with another

metal object. Short-circuiting the battery can cause it to

overheat and may cause damage to the battery or the computer.

❖Do not incinerate a spent battery, as this could cause it to

explode and release caustic liquid.

❖If a battery is leaking or damaged, replace it immediately. Use

protective gloves when handling a damaged battery.

❖To replace the main battery, use an identical battery that you

can purchase through the Toshiba Web site at

accessories.toshiba.com.

❖A reverse polarity condition should be avoided with all

batteries. The main battery is designed so that it cannot be

installed in reverse polarity.

❖Charge the battery only in the computer or in a battery charger

designated as an approved option.

❖When you install the battery pack, you should hear a click

when it is seated properly.

❖Do not expose the battery pack to fire. The battery pack could

explode.

110 Mobile Computing

Disposing of used batteries

The life of a battery pack depends on usage. When the battery pack

needs replacing, the main 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). Heat can cause a battery pack to explode and/or

release caustic liquid, both which may possibly cause serious injury.

Always dispose of used battery packs in compliance with all

applicable laws and regulations. Put insulating tape, such as

cellophane tape, on the electrode during transportation to avoid a

possible short circuit, fire or electric shock. Failure to do so could

possibly result in serious injury.

Always use the battery pack supplied as an accessory or an

equivalent battery pack specified in the User's Manual. Other battery

packs have different voltage and terminal polarities. Use of non-

conforming battery packs 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, visit

www.ToshibaDirect.com, select Recycling & Trade-in programs, or

enter Recycle in the search bar.

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
