General Precautions  
TOSHIBA computers are designed to optimize safety, minimize strain and  
withstand the rigors of portability. However, certain precautions should be  
observed to further reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the  
computer.  
Be certain to read the general precautions below and to note the cautions  
included in the text of the manual.  
Provide adequate ventilation  
Always make sure your computer and AC adaptor have adequate  
ventilation and are protected from overheating when the power is turned on  
or when an AC adaptor is connected to a power outlet (even if your  
computer is in Sleep Mode). In this condition, observe the following:  
Never cover your computer or AC adaptor with any object.  
Never place your computer or AC adaptor near a heat source, such as  
an electric blanket or heater.  
Never cover or block the air vents including those located at the base of  
the computer.  
Always operate your computer on a hard flat surface. Using your  
computer on a carpet or other soft material can block the vents.  
Always provide sufficient space around the computer.  
Overheating your computer or AC adaptor could cause system failure,  
computer or AC adaptor damage or a fire, possibly resulting in serious  
injury.  
Creating a computer-friendly environment  
Place the computer on a flat surface that is large enough for the computer  
and any other items you are using, such as a printer.  
Leave enough space around the computer and other equipment to provide  
adequate ventilation. Otherwise, they may overheat.  
To keep your computer in prime operating condition, protect your work area  
from:  
Dust, moisture, and direct sunlight.  
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.  
User’s Manual  
 
xv  
     
Stress injury  
Carefully read the Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort. It contains  
information on the prevention of stress injuries to your hands and wrists  
that can be caused by extensive keyboard use. It also includes information  
on work space design, posture and lighting that can help reduce physical  
stress.  
Heat injury  
Avoid prolonged physical contact with the computer. If the computer is  
used for long periods, its surface can become very warm. While the  
temperature will not feel hot to the touch, if you maintain physical  
contact with the computer for a long time, for example if you rest the  
computer on your lap or if you keep your hands on the palm rest, your  
skin might suffer a low-heat injury.  
If the computer has been used for a long time, avoid direct contact with  
the metal plate supporting the various interface ports as this can  
become hot.  
The surface of the AC adaptor can become hot when in use but this  
condition does not indicate a malfunction. If you need to transport the  
AC adaptor, you should disconnect it and let it cool before moving it.  
Do not lay the AC adaptor on a material that is sensitive to heat as the  
material could become damaged.  
Pressure or impact damage  
Do not apply heavy pressure to the computer or subject it to any form of  
strong impact as this can damage the computer's components or otherwise  
cause it to malfunction.  
Mobile phones  
Please be aware that the use of mobile phones can interfere with the audio  
system. The operation of the computer will not be impaired in any way, but  
it is recommended that a minimum distance of 30cm is maintained between  
the computer and a mobile phone that is in use.  
Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort  
All important information on the safe and proper use of this computer is  
described in the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort. Be  
sure to read it before using the computer.

Getting Started  
All users should be sure to read the section Starting up for the first time.  
Be sure to read the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort  
for information on the safe and proper use of this computer. It is  
intended to help you be more comfortable and productive while using a  
notebook computer. By following the recommendations in it you may  
reduce your chance of developing a painful or disabling injury to your  
hand, arms, shoulders or neck.  
This section provides basic information to start using your computer. It  
covers the following topics:  
Connecting the AC adaptor  
Opening the display  
Turning on the power  
Starting up for the first time  
Turning off the power  
Restarting the computer  
Use a virus-check program and make sure it is updated regularly.  
Never format storage media without checking its content - formatting  
destroys all stored data.  
It is a good idea to periodically back up the internal hard disk drive or  
other main storage device to external media. General storage media is  
not durable or stable over long periods of time and under certain  
conditions may result in data loss.  
User’s Manual  
 
1-2  
 
Before you install a device or application, save any data in memory to  
the hard disk drive or other storage media. Failure to do so may result  
in the loss of data.  
Connecting the AC adaptor  
Attach the AC adaptor when you need to charge the battery or you want to  
operate from AC power. It is also the fastest way to get started, because  
the battery pack will need to be charged before you can operate from  
battery power.  
The AC adaptor can automatically adjust to any voltage ranging from 100 to  
240 volts and to a frequency of either 50 or 60 hertz, enabling you to use  
this computer in almost all country/region. The adaptor converts AC power  
to DC power and reduces the voltage supplied to this computer.  
Always use the TOSHIBA AC adaptor that was included with your  
computer, or use AC adaptors specified by TOSHIBA to avoid any risk  
of fire or other damage to the computer. Use of an incompatible AC  
adaptor could cause fire or damage to the computer possibly resulting  
in serious injury. TOSHIBA assumes no liability for any damage caused  
by use of an incompatible adaptor.  
Never plug the AC adaptor into a power source that does not  
correspond to both the voltage and the frequency specified on the  
regulatory label of the unit. Failure to do so could result in a fire or  
electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.  
Always use or purchase power cables that comply with the legal voltage  
and frequency specifications and requirements in the country of use.  
Failure to do so could result in a fire or electric shock, possibly resulting  
in serious injury.  
The supplied power cord conforms to safety rules and regulations in the  
region the product is bought and should not be used outside this region.  
For use in other regions, please buy power cords that conform to safety  
rules and regulations in the particular region.  
Do not use a 3-pin to 2-pin conversion plug.  
When you connect the AC adaptor 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 adaptor 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.  
Never place your computer or AC adaptor on a wooden surface,  
furniture, or any other surface that could be marred by exposure to heat  
since the computer base and AC adaptor's surface increase in  
temperature during normal use.  
Always place your computer or AC adaptor on a flat and hard surface  
that is resistant to heat damage.  
Refer to the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort for  
detailed precautions and handling instructions.

Sleep Mode  
If you have to interrupt your work, you are able to turn off the power without  
exiting from your software by placing the computer into Sleep Mode. In this  
mode data is maintained in the computer's main memory so that when you  
turn on the power again, you can continue working right where you left off.  
When you have to turn off your computer aboard an aircraft or in places  
where electronic devices are regulated or controlled, always completely  
shut down the computer. This includes turning off any wireless  
communication functionalities, and cancelling settings that reactivate the  
computer automatically, such as a timer recording function. Failure to  
completely shut down the computer in this way could allow the operating  
system to reactivate and run pre-programmed tasks or preserve unsaved  
data, which could interfere with aviation or other systems, possibly causing  
serious injury.  
Before entering Sleep Mode, be sure to save your data.  
Do not install or remove a memory module while the computer is in  
Sleep Mode. The computer or the memory module could be damaged.

The Keyboard  
The computer’s keyboard layouts are compatible with a 104/105-key  
enhanced keyboard - by pressing some keys in combination, all of the  
104/105-key enhanced keyboard functions can be performed on the  
computer.  
The number of keys available on your keyboard will depend on which  
country/region your computer is configured for, with keyboards being  
available for numerous languages.  
In use there are five different types of keys, specifically typewriter keys,  
function keys, soft keys, Hot keys and Windows special keys.  
Keyboard indicators  
The following figures show the positions of the CAPS LOCK indicator and  
the NUM LOCK indicator which show the following conditions:  
When the CAPS LOCK indicator glows, the keyboard will produce  
capitals when any letter is typed.  
When the NUM LOCK indicator glows, the ten key allows you to enter  
numbers.

Function keys: F1 … F9  
The function keys (not to be confused with the special FN key) are the nine  
keys at the top of your keyboard - these keys function differently from other  
keys.  
User’s Manual  
 
3-2  
       
F1 through F9 are called function keys because they execute programmed  
functions when pressed and, when used in combination with the FN key,  
those keys marked with icons also execute specific functions on the  
computer.  
Soft keys: FN key combinations  
The FN (function) is used in combination with other keys to form soft keys.  
Soft keys are key combinations that enable, disable or configure specific  
features.  
Please note that some software may disable or interfere with soft-key  
operations, and that the soft-key settings are not restored when the  
computer returns from Sleep Mode.  
This computer's keyboard is designed to provide all the features of the 104-  
key enhanced keyboard.  
Since the keyboard is smaller and has fewer keys, some of the enhanced  
keyboard functions must be simulated using two keys instead of one on the  
larger keyboard.  
The FN key can be combined with the following keys to simulate functions  
similar to those of keys on the 104/105 key enhanced keyboard which are  
not on this computer's keyboard.  
Hot key functions  
Hot key functions let you enable or disable certain features of the computer.  
The Hot key functions can be performed using either the Hot Key Cards or  
by pressing the associated Hot keys (pressing FN + a function or ESC key).  
Hot Key Cards  
The Hot Key Cards are normally hidden from view. The Cards appear when  
you press the FN key.

DVD+R DL or DVD+RW disc that was made with other software on a  
different optical media recorder.  
If you add data to a DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD+R or DVD+R DL disc that  
you have already recorded to, you might not be able to read the added  
data under some circumstances. For example, it cannot be read under  
16-bit operating systems, such as Windows 98SE and Windows Me,  
while in Windows NT4 you will need Service Pack 6 or later, and in  
Windows 2000, you will need Service Pack 2. In addition to this, some  
DVD-ROM and DVD-ROM / CD-R/RW drives cannot read this added  
data regardless of the operating system.  
TOSHIBA Disc Creator does not support recording to DVD-RAM discs -  
to achieve this you should use Windows Explorer or another similar  
utility.  
When you back up a DVD disc, be sure that the source drive supports  
recording to DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R DL or  
DVD+RW media - if this is not the case then the source disc might not  
be backed up correctly.  
When you back up a DVD-R, DVD-R DL, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+R  
DL or DVD+RW disc, be sure to use the same type of disc.  
You cannot partially delete any data written to a CD-RW, DVD-RW or  
DVD+RW disc.

3D playback feature  
(Only some models)  
TOSHIBA VIDEO PLAYER has 3D playback function, which can playback  
3D video content, and 2D home video content (DVD or video file) in 3D  
using real-time 2Dto3D conversion.  
The 3D effect can only be shown on external 3D devices connected via  
an HDMI output. It cannot be shown on the internal display.  
The 2Dto3D conversion function uses TOSHIBA's original algorithm to  
apply a 3D effect to your own 2D videos. However, note that this  
function does not provide the same video content as a video originally  
provided in 3D, and does not create a new video in the 3D format but  
only plays 2D videos in a 3D like mode.  
The 2Dto3D conversion function is meant for the enjoyment of your own  
2D home video and other 2D contents you created, in 3D according to  
your personal preferences.  
The “TOSHIBA VIDEO PLAYER” is set by default in the 2D format. By  
pressing the 2Dto3D conversion function button, you decide to activate  
the 2Dto3D conversion function and therefore decide to watch your 2D  
content in 3D. The “TOSHIBA VIDEO PLAYER” will not run the 2Dto3D  
conversion function automatically. Please see the warnings in this  
section as regard to potential copyright infringement and confirm you  
have any necessary authorization.  
The “TOSHIBA VIDEO PLAYER” is intended for playing DVD-Video,  
DVD-VR and video files and for viewing 2D home video content in 3D.  
The 3D playback of any video content not created by the user may  
require the permission of third parties, where such content is protected  
by copyright. The protection of intellectual property rights is essential for  
Toshiba. In this respect, Toshiba underlines that the Player should not  
be used in a manner infringing such rights. It is your responsibility to  
ensure that you do not infringe any applicable intellectual property laws  
when you decide to use the Player and, more specifically, the 2Dto3D  
conversion function of the “TOSHIBA VIDEO PLAYER”.  
Some functions are not functionable during 3D playback. In such cases,  
any corresponding buttons will be disabled.  
You may experience some time lag if you perform any of the following  
operations when the “Video Display Window” is at full-screen size.

Wireless communication is often subject to local radio regulations.  
Although Wireless LAN wireless networking products have been designed  
for operation in the license-free 2.4GHz and 5GHz band, local radio  
regulations may impose a number of limitations to the use of wireless  
communication equipment.  
Radio Frequency  
Band 5GHz (5150-5850 MHz) (Revision a and  
n)  
Band 2.4GHz (2400-2483.5 MHz) (Revision b/g  
and n)  
The range of the wireless signal is related to the transmit rate of the  
wireless communication. Communications at lower transmit range may  
travel larger distances.  
The range of your wireless devices can be affected when the antennas  
are placed near metal surfaces and solid high-density materials.  
User’s Manual

Range is also impacted due to "obstacles" in the signal path of the radio  
that may either absorb or reflect the radio signal.  
Bluetooth wireless technology  
Some computers in this series have Bluetooth wireless communication  
function which eliminates the need for cables between electronic devices  
such as computers, printers and mobile phones. When it is enabled,  
Bluetooth provides the wireless personal area network environment which  
is safe and trustworthy, that is quick and easy.  
You cannot use the computer's built-in Bluetooth functions and an external  
Bluetooth adaptor simultaneously. For reference, Bluetooth wireless  
technology has the following features:  
Worldwide operation  
The Bluetooth radio transmitter and receiver operate in the 2.4GHz band,  
which is license-free and compatible with radio systems in most countries  
in the world.  
Radio links  
You can easily establish links between two or more devices, with these  
links being maintained even if the devices are not within a line-of-sight of  
each other.  
Security  
Two advanced security mechanisms ensure a high level of security:  
Authentication prevents access to critical data and makes it impossible  
to falsify the origin of a message.  
Encryption prevents eavesdropping and maintains link privacy.

Memory media slot  
The computer is equipped with a memory media slot that can  
accommodate some kinds of memory media with various memory  
capacities so that you can easily transfer data from devices, such as digital  
cameras and Personal Digital Assistants.  
Keep foreign objects out of the memory media slot. Never allow metal  
objects, such as screws, staples and paper clips, to enter the computer or  
Keyboard. Foreign metal objects can create a short circuit, which can  
cause computer damage and fire, possibly resulting in serious injury.  
Please note that an adaptor is required to use miniSD/microSD Card.  
Please note that not all memory media have been tested and verified to  
work correctly. Therefore, it is not possible to guarantee that all memory  
media will operate properly.

Memory media  
This section provides the important safety precautions in order to handle  
your memory media.  
Points to note about the memory media card  
SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards comply with SDMI (Secure Digital Music  
Initiative), which is a technology adopted to prevent unlawful copy or  
playback of digital music. For this reason, you cannot copy or playback  
protected material on another computer or other device, and you may not  
reproduce any copyrighted material except for your personal enjoyment.  
Below is a simple explanation for distinguishing SD memory cards from  
SDHC memory cards.  
SD, SDHC and SDXC memory cards appear the same externally.  
However, the logo on memory cards is different, so pay careful attention  
to the logo when purchasing.

Memory media format  
New media cards are formatted according to specific standards. If you wish  
to reformat a media card, be sure to do so with a device that uses media  
cards.  
Formatting an memory media card  
Memory media cards are sold already formatted in conformity to specific  
standards. If you reformat an memory card, be sure to reformat it with a  
device such as digital camera or digital audio player that uses the memory  
cards, not with the format command provided within Windows.  
Should you need to format all areas of the memory card, including the  
protected area, you will need to obtain an appropriate application that  
applies the copy protection system.

Media care  
Observe the following precautions when handling the card.  
Card care  
Do not twist or bend cards.  
Do not expose cards to liquids or store in humid areas or lay media  
close to containers of liquid.  
Do not touch the metal part of a card or expose it to liquids or let it get  
dirty.  
After using card, return it to its case.  
The card is designed so that it can be inserted only one way. Do not try  
to force the card into the slot.  
Do not leave a card partially inserted in the slot. Press the card until you  
hear it click into place.  
Memory card care  
Set the write-protect switch to the lock position, if you do not want to  
record data.

Cleaning the computer  
To help ensure long, trouble-free operation, keep the computer free of dust  
and dirt, and use care with all liquids around it.  
Be careful not to spill liquids into the computer. If the computer does get  
wet, turn the power off immediately and let the computer dry completely  
- in these circumstance you should get the computer inspected by an  
authorized service provider in order to assess the scope of any  
damage.  
User’s Manual

Clean the plastics of the computer using a slightly water dampened  
cloth.  
You can clean the display screen by spraying a small amount of glass  
cleaner onto a soft, clean cloth and then wiping the screen gently with  
the cloth.  
Never spray cleaner directly onto the computer or let liquid run into any part  
of it. Never use harsh or caustic chemical products to clean the computer.  
Moving the computer  
While the computer is designed for flexible day-to-day usage you should  
exercise a few simple precautions when moving it in order to help ensure  
trouble-free operation.  
Make sure all disk/disc activity has ended before moving the computer -  
check that the HDD and other indicators (if any) on the front of the  
computer are off.  
Turn off (shut down) the computer.  
Disconnect the AC adaptor and all peripherals before moving the  
computer.  
Close the display panel.  
Do not pick up the computer by its display panel.  
Before carrying your computer, shut it down, disconnect the AC adaptor  
and allow it to cool down - a failure to follow this instruction may result in  
minor heat injury.  
Be careful not to subject the computer to impact or shock - a failure to  
follow this instruction could result in damage to computer, computer  
failure or loss of data.  
Never transport your computer with any cards installed - this may cause  
damage to either the computer and/or the card resulting in product  
failure.  
Always use a suitable carry case when transporting the computer.  
When carrying your computer, be sure to hold it securely so that it does  
not fall or hit anything.  
Do not carry your computer by holding any of its protruding elements.  
Heat dispersal  
To protect against overheating, the processor is equipped with an internal  
temperature sensor which activates a cooling fan or lowers the processing  
speed if the computer's internal temperature rises to a certain level. You are  
able to select whether to control this temperature by either turning on the  
fan first, then if necessary lowering the processor speed, or by lowering the  
processor speed first, then if necessary turning on the fan. Both of these  
functions are controlled through the Power Options.  
User’s Manual  
 
3-45  
     
When the processor's temperature falls within normal range, the fan will be  
turned off and the processor operation returned to its standard speed.  
If the processor's temperature reaches an unacceptably high level with  
either setting, the computer automatically shuts down to prevent any  
damage. In this instance all unsaved data in memory will be lost.

Using the TOSHIBA Sleep Utility  
This utility displays whether the Sleep and Charge function is enabled or  
disabled and shows the positions of USB ports that support the Sleep and  
Charge function. It also displays the remaining battery capacity.  
The TOSHIBA Sleep Utility is only supported by Satellite  
L770/L775/L770D/L775D/satellite Pro L770/L775/L770D/L775D models.  
Sleep and Charge  
Your computer can supply USB bus power (DC5V) to the USB port even  
when the power of the computer is turned OFF. "Power OFF" includes  
Sleep Mode, Hibernation Mode or shutdown state.  
This function can be used for ports that support the Sleep and Charge  
function (hereinafter called "compatible ports").  
Compatible ports are USB ports that have the ( ) symbol icon.  
You can use the Sleep and Charge function to charge certain USB-  
compatible external devices such as mobile phones or portable digital  
music players.  
However, the Sleep and Charge function may not work with certain external  
devices even if they are compliant with the USB specification. In those  
cases, turn the power of the computer ON to charge the device.  
When Sleep and Charge function is enabled, USB bus power (DC5V)  
will be supplied to compatible ports even when the power of the  
computer is turned OFF. USB bus power (DC5V) is similarly supplied to  
the external devices which are connected to the compatible ports.  
However, some external devices cannot be charged solely by supplying  
USB bus power (DC5V). As for the specifications of the external  
devices, please contact the device manufacturer or check the  
specifications of the external devices thoroughly before use.  
Using the sleep and charge function to charge external devices will take  
longer than charging the devices with their own chargers.  
If Sleep and Charge function is enabled, the computer’s battery will  
discharge during hibernation or when the computer is turned off. It is  
recommended that you connect the AC adaptor to the computer when  
enabling the Sleep and Charge function.  
External devices connected to the USB bus power (DC5V) function that  
interfaces with the power ON/OFF of the computer may always be in an  
operational state.  
When there is a current overflow of the external devices connected to  
the compatible ports, USB bus power (DC5V) supply may be stopped  
for safety reasons.  
User’s Manual  
 
4-8  
 
When Sleep and Charge function is enabled, the USB Wakeup function  
does not work for compatible ports. In that case, if there is a USB port  
that does not have the Sleep and Charge function-compatible icon ( ),  
attach the mouse or keyboard to it. If all USB ports have the Sleep and  
Charge function-compatible icon ( ), change to disable Sleep and  
Charge function. The USB Wakeup function will now work, but the  
Sleep and Charge function will be disabled.  
Metal paper clips or hair pins/clips will generate heat if they come into  
contact with USB ports. Do not allow USB ports to come into contact with  
metal products, for example when carrying the computer in your bag.  
Starting the TOSHIBA Sleep Utility  
To start the utility, click Start -> All Programs -> TOSHIBA -> Utilities ->

the compatible USB ports. The default state is disabled.  
Power supply mode settings  
Your PC has multiple charging modes so that many different USB devices  
can be supported for Sleep and Charge function. Auto Mode (Default) is  
suitable for a wide range of digital audio players.  
However, determining which mode is suitable for your USB device is  
unknown without trying. Try each mode, using the following procedure,  
from Auto Mode to Alternate Mode(*1) to find the suitable mode for your  
USB device to charge.  
This function may not be able to be used with some connected external  
devices even if the appropriate mode is selected. In this situation, clear the  
"Enable Sleep and Charge" check box and stop using this function.  
*1. Some computers may not support all modes.  
Battery Settings  
This utility can be used to specify the lower limit of remaining battery life for  
Sleep and Charge. Move the slider bar to specify the lower limit. If the  
remaining battery life falls below the setting, the Sleep and Charge function  
will be stopped.  
Using the TOSHIBA Face Recognition  
TOSHIBA Face Recognition uses a face verification library to verify the  
User’s Manual  
 
4-9  
   
face data of users when they log in to Windows. The user can thus avoid  
having to enter a password or the like, which makes the login process  
easier.  
TOSHIBA Face Recognition does not guarantee the correct  
identification of a user. Changes to the likeness of a registrant, such as  
hair style changes, wearing a cap, or wearing glasses may effect the  
recognition rates when such changes occur after the registrant had  
registered.  
TOSHIBA Face Recognition may incorrectly recognize faces that are  
similar to a registrant.  
For high security purposes, TOSHIBA Face Recognition is not a  
suitable substitute for Windows passwords. When security is a high  
priority, use your established Windows passwords to log in.  
Bright background light and/or shadows may prevent a registrant from  
being recognized correctly. In that case, log in using your Windows  
password. If recognition of a registrant fails repeatedly, refer to your  
computer documentation to learn ways to improve recognition  
performance.  
TOSHIBA Face Recognition records face data in a log when face  
recognition fails. When transferring ownership or disposing of your  
computer, please uninstall the application or delete all the logs created  
by the application. For details on how to do this, see help file.  
TOSHIBA Face Recognition can be used only in Windows Vista and  
Windows 7.  
Disclaimer  
TOSHIBA does not guarantee that the face recognition utility technology  
will be completely secure or error-free. TOSHIBA does not guarantee that  
the face recognition utility will accurately screen out unauthorized users at  
all times. TOSHIBA is not liable for any failure or damage that might arise  
out of the use of the face recognition software or utility.  
TOSHIBA, ITS AFFILIATES AND SUPPLIERS SHALL HAVE NO  
RESPONSIBILITY FOR DAMAGE TO OR LOSS OF ANY BUSINESS,

TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor  
The TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor application proactively monitors a  
number of system functions such as power consumption, battery health  
and the system cooling, informing you of significant system conditions. This  
application recognizes the system and individual component serial  
numbers, and will track specific activities related to the computer and their  
usage.  
The collected information includes device operation time and number of  
actuations or status changes (i.e.: number of power button and FN key  
combination uses, AC adaptor, battery, LCD, fan, HDD, sound volume,  
wireless communication switch, TOSHIBA Express Port Replicator and  
USB information), date of initial system use, and also computer and device  
usage (i.e.: power settings, battery temperature and recharging, CPU,  
memory, backlight illumination time, and temperatures for various devices).  
The stored data uses a very small portion of the total hard disk capacity,  
approximately 10MB or less per year.  
This information is used to identify and provide a notification of system  
conditions which may effect the performance of your TOSHIBA computer. It  
may also be used to help diagnose problems should the computer require  
service by TOSHIBA or TOSHIBA's authorized service providers.  
Additionally, TOSHIBA may also use this information for quality assurance  
analysis.  
Subject to the use restrictions above, the HDD data logged may be  
transferred to entities located outside of your country or region of residence  
(e.g., European Union). Those countries may or may not have the same  
data protection laws or data protection levels as required by your home  
country or region.  
Once enabled, you may disable the TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor at any  
time by uninstalling the software via Uninstall a program in the Control  
Panel. Doing so will automatically delete all collected information from the

Battery  
This section explains battery types, use, recharging methods and handling.  
Battery types  
The computer has different types of batteries.  
Battery pack  
When the AC adaptor is not connected, the computer's main power source  
is a removable lithium ion battery pack, also referred to in this manual as  
the main battery. You can purchase additional battery packs for extended  
use of the computer away from an AC power source although you should  
not change the battery pack while the AC adaptor is connected.  
Before you remove the battery pack, save your data and shut down the  
computer, or place the computer into Hibernation Mode. Please be aware  
that, when placing the computer into Hibernation Mode, the contents of  
memory will be saved to the hard disk drive, although for safety sake, it is  
best to also save your data manually.  
Real Time Clock (RTC) battery  
The Real Time Clock (RTC) battery provides power for the internal real  
time clock and calendar function and also maintains the system  
configuration while the computer is turned off. If the RTC battery becomes  
completely discharged, the system will lose this information and the real  
time clock and calendar will stop working - in this instance the following  
message will be displayed when you turn on the power:  
S
**** RTC Power Failure ****  
Check system. Then press [F2] key.  
You can change the Real Time Clock settings by turning on the computer  
while pressing the F2 key and then release F2 key when the TOSHIBA  
Leading Innovation >>> screen appears. Please refer to Chapter 6  
Troubleshooting for further information.  
User’s Manual

Care and use of the battery pack  
This section provides the important safety precautions in order to handle  
your battery pack properly.  
Refer to the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort for  
detailed precautions and handling instructions.  
Make sure the battery is securely installed in the computer before  
attempting to charge the battery pack. Improper installation could  
generate smoke or fire, or cause the battery pack to rupture.  
Keep the battery pack out of reach of infants and children. It can cause  
injury.  
The lithium ion battery pack can explode if not replaced, used, handled  
or disposed of properly. Dispose of the battery as required by local  
ordinances or regulations. Use only batteries recommended by  
TOSHIBA as replacements.  
The computer's RTC battery is a lithium battery and should be replaced  
only by your dealer or by a TOSHIBA service representative. The  
battery can explode if not properly replaced, used, handled or disposed.  
Dispose of the battery as required by local ordinances or regulations.  
Charge the battery pack only in an ambient temperature between 5 and  
35 degrees Celsius. Otherwise, the electrolyte solution might leak,  
battery pack performance might deteriorate and the battery life might be  
shortened.  
Never install or remove the battery pack without first turning off the  
power and disconnecting the AC adaptor. Never remove the battery  
pack while the computer is in Sleep Mode. Data could be lost.  
Never remove the battery pack while the Wake-up on LAN function is  
enabled. Data will be lost. Before you remove a battery pack, disable the  
Wake-up on LAN function.  
Charging the batteries  
When the power in the battery pack becomes low, the DC IN/Battery or  
Battery indicator will blink amber to indicate that only a few minutes of  
battery power remain. If you continue to use the computer while the DC  
IN/Battery or Battery indicator blinks, the computer will enable Hibernation  
Mode so that you do not lose any data, and automatically turn itself off.  
You must recharge a battery pack when it becomes discharged.  
Procedures  
To recharge a battery pack while it is installed in the computer, connect the  
AC adaptor to the DC IN 19V jack and plug the other end into a working  
outlet - the DC IN/Battery or Battery indicator will glow amber while the  
battery is being charged.  
User’s Manual  
 
5-7  
Use only the computer connected to an AC power source or optional  
TOSHIBA Battery charger to charge the battery pack. Never attempt to  
charge the battery pack with any other charger.  
Time  
Refer to User Information Guide about Charging time.  
Battery charging notice  
The battery may not begin charging immediately under the following  
conditions:  
The battery is extremely hot or cold (if the battery is extremely hot, it  
might not charge at all). To ensure the battery charges to its full  
capacity, you should charge it at room temperature of between 5°C to  
35°C (41°F to 95°F).  
The battery is nearly completely discharged. In this instance you should  
leave the AC adaptor connected for a few minutes and the battery  
should begin charging.  
The DC IN/Battery or Battery indicator may show a rapid decrease in  
battery operating time when you try to charge a battery under the following  
conditions:  
The battery has not been used for a long time.  
The battery has completely discharged and been left in the computer for  
a long time.  
A cool battery is installed in a warm computer.  
In such cases you should follow the steps as detailed below:  
1. Fully discharge the battery by leaving it in the computer with the power  
on until the system automatically turns itself off.  
2. Connect the AC adaptor to the DC IN 19V jack of the computer, and to  
a wall outlet that is supplying power.  
3. Charge the battery until the DC IN/Battery indicator glows green or  
Battery indicator glows white.  
Repeat these steps two or three times until the battery recovers normal  
capacity.  
Monitoring battery capacity  
Remaining battery power can be monitored using the following methods.  
Clicking the battery icon on the Taskbar  
Via the Battery Status in the Windows Mobility Center window  
User’s Manual  
 
5-8  
 
You should wait at least 16 seconds after turning on the computer  
before trying to monitor the remaining operating time. This is because  
the computer needs this time to check the battery's remaining capacity  
and then calculate the remaining operating time, based on this together  
with the current power consumption.  
Please be aware that the actual remaining operating time may differ  
slightly from the calculated time.  
With repeated discharges and recharges, the battery's capacity will  
gradually decrease. In view of this it will be noted that an often used,  
older battery will not operate for as long as a new battery even when  
both are fully charged.  
Maximizing battery operating time  
A battery's usefulness depends on how long it can supply power on a  
single charge, while how long the charge lasts in a battery depends on:  
Processor speed  
Screen brightness  
System Sleep Mode  
System Hibernation Mode  
Display power off period  
Hard disk drive power off period  
How often and for how long you use the hard disk drive and external  
disk(c) drives, for example, optical disc drive.  
How much charge the battery contained to begin with.  
How you use optional devices, such as a USB device, to which the  
battery supplies power.  
Whether you enable Sleep Mode, which can conserve battery power if  
you are frequently turning the computer off and on.  
Where you store your programs and data.  
Whether you close the display panel when you are not using the  
keyboard - closing the display saves power.  
The environmental temperature - operating time decreases at low  
temperatures.  
The condition of the battery terminals - you should always ensure the  
terminals stay clean by wiping them with a clean dry cloth before  
installing the battery pack.

At least once a month, disconnect the computer from a power source  
and operate it on battery power until the battery pack fully discharges.  
Before doing so, follow the steps as detailed below.  
1. Turn off the computer's power.  
2. Disconnect the AC adaptor and turn on the computer's power - if it  
does not turn on then go to Step 4.  
3. Operate the computer on battery power for five minutes. If you find  
that the battery pack has at least five minutes of operating time,  
continue operating until the battery pack is fully discharged, however, if  
the DC IN/Battery or Battery indicator blinks or there is some other  
warning to indicate a low battery condition, go to Step 4.  
4. Connect the AC adaptor to the DC IN 19V jack of the computer, and  
to a wall outlet that is supplying power. The DC IN indicator should  
glow white and the Battery indicator should glow amber (or DC  
IN/Battery indicator should glow amber) to indicate that the battery  
pack is being charged, however, in the event that DC IN indicator or  
DC IN/Battery indicator does not glow this indicates that power is not  
being supplied - check the connections for the AC adaptor and the  
power cord.  
5. Charge the battery pack until the Battery indicator glows white or  
DC IN/Battery indicator glows green.  
If you have extra battery packs, rotate their use.  
If you will not be using the system for an extended period, for example  
for more than one month, remove the battery pack from the computer.  
Store spare battery packs in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight.  
Replacing the battery pack  
Please be aware that the battery pack is classified as a consumable item.  
The operating life of the battery pack will gradually reduce through  
repeated charging and discharging, and will need to be replaced when it  
reaches the end of its operating life. In addition to this, you might also  
replace a discharged battery pack with a charged spare when you are  
operating your computer away from an AC power source for an extended  
period of time.  
This section explains how to remove and install the battery pack, and  
begins with the removal process which is detailed through the following  
steps.  
Do not remove the battery pack while the computer is in Sleep Mode.  
Data is stored in RAM, so if the computer loses power it could be lost.  
In Hibernation Mode, data will be lost if you remove the battery pack or  
disconnect the AC adaptor before the save is completed. Wait for the  
Hard Disk Drive/Optical Disk Drive indicator to go out.  
Do not touch the battery release latch while holding the computer or the  
battery pack might fall out due to the unintentional release of the battery  
release latch and cause injuries.

roubleshooting  
TOSHIBA have designed this computer for durability, however, should  
problems occur you are able to use the procedures detailed in this chapter  
to help determine the cause.  
All users should become familiar with this chapter as knowing what might  
go wrong can help prevent problems from occurring in the first place.  
Problem solving process  
Resolving problems will be much easier if you observe the following  
guidelines:  
Stop immediately when you recognize a problem exists as taking further  
action may result in data loss or damage, or you may destroy valuable  
problem related information that can help solve the problem.  
Observe what is happening - write down what the system is doing and  
what actions you performed immediately before the problem occurred.  
Make a screenshot of the current display.  
Please also be aware that the questions and procedures described in this  
chapter are meant only as a guide, they are not definitive problem solving  
techniques. In reality many problems can be solved simply, but a few may  
require help from TOSHIBA Support - if you find you need to consult others,  
be prepared to describe the problem in as much detail as possible.  
Preliminary checklist  
You should always consider the simplest solution first - the items detailed in  
this checklist are easy to fix and yet can cause what appears to be a  
serious problem:  
Make sure you turn on all peripheral devices before you turn on the  
computer - this includes your printer and any other external device you  
are using.  
Before you attach an external device you should first turn the computer  
off, then when you turn the computer back on again it will recognize the  
new device.  
Make sure all optional accessories are configured properly in the  
computer's setup program and that all required driver software has  
been loaded (please refer to the documentation included with the  
User’s Manual  
 
6-1  
   
optional accessories for further information on its installation and  
configuration).  
Check all cables to ensure they are correctly and firmly attached to the  
computer - loose cables can cause signal errors.  
Inspect all connecting cables for loose wires and all connectors for  
loose pins.  
Check that your CD/DVD/BD media is correctly loaded  
Always try to make detailed notes of your observations and keep them in a  
permanent error log - this will help you to describe your problems to  
TOSHIBA Support. In addition, if a problem recurs, the log you have made  
will help to identify the problem faster.  
Analyzing the problem  
Sometimes the computer will give you clues that can help you identify why  
it is malfunctioning. In view of this you should keep the following questions  
in mind:  
Which part of the computer is not operating properly - keyboard, hard  
disk drive, display panel, touch pad, touch pad control buttons - as each  
device will produce different symptoms.  
Check the options within the operating system to ensure that its  
configuration is set properly.  
What appears on the display? Does it display any messages or random  
characters? Make a screenshot of the current display and, if possible,  
look up the messages in the documentation included with the computer,  
software or operating system.  
Check that all connecting cables are correctly and firmly attached as  
loose cables can cause erroneous or intermittent signals.  
Do any indicators light, if so, which ones, what color are they and do  
they stay on or blink? Write down what you see.  
Do you hear any beeps, if so how many, are they long or short and are  
they high pitched or low pitched? In addition, is the computer making  
any unusual noises? Write down what you hear.  
Record your observations so you can describe them in detail to TOSHIBA  
Support.  
User’s Manual  
 
6-2  
 
Software  
The problems may be caused by your software or  
disk. If you cannot load a software package, the  
media may be damaged or the program might be  
corrupted - in these instances try loading another  
copy of the software if possible.  
If an error message appears while you are using a  
software package you should refer to the  
documentation supplied with it as this will usually  
include a problem solving section or a summary of  
error messages.  
Next, you should check any error messages  
against the operating system documentation.  
Hardware  
If you cannot find a software problem, you should  
then check the setup and configuration of your  
hardware. First run through the items in the  
preliminary checklist as described previously then,  
if you still cannot correct the problem, try to identify  
the source - the next section provides checklists  
for individual components and peripherals.  
Before using a peripheral device or application software that is not an  
authorized TOSHIBA part or product, make sure the device or software can  
be used with your computer. Use of incompatible devices may cause injury  
or may damage your computer.  
If something goes wrong  
Your program stops responding  
If you are working with a program that suddenly freezes all operations,  
chances are the program has stopped responding. You can exit the failed  
program without shutting down the operating system or closing other  
programs.  
To close a program that has stopped responding:  
1. Press CTRL, ALT, and DEL simultaneously (once), then click Start  
Task Manager. The Windows® Task Manager window appears.  
2. Click the Applications tab. If a program has stopped responding, the  
words "not responding" appear beside its name in the list.  
3. Select the program you want to close, then click End Task. Closing the  
failed program should allow you to continue working. If it does not,  
continue with the next step.  
4. Close the remaining programs one by one by selecting the program  
name, then End Task. Closing all programs should allow you to  
continue working. If it does not, power off your computer and then  
restart it.

Make sure you attached the AC adaptor and power cord/cable properly or  
installed a charged battery.  
If you are using the AC adaptor, check that the wall outlet is working by  
plugging in another device, such as a lamp.  
Verify that the computer is on by looking at the ON/OFF indicator.  
If the indicator is glowing, the computer is on. Also, try turning the computer  
off and then on.  
If you are using an AC adaptor, verify that the computer is receiving power  
from the external power source by looking at the AC power light. If the  
indicator is glowing, the computer is connected to a live external power  
source.

egal Footnotes  
This chapter states the Legal Footnotes information applicable to TOSHIBA  
computers.  
Non-applicable Icons  
Certain computer chassis are designed to accommodate all possible  
configurations for an entire product series. Therefore, please be aware that  
your selected model may not have all the features and specifications  
corresponding to all of the icons or switches shown on the computer  
chassis.  
CPU  
Central Processing Unit ("CPU") Performance Legal Footnotes.  
CPU performance in your computer product may vary from specifications  
under the following conditions:  
use of certain external peripheral products  
use of battery power instead of AC power  
use of certain multimedia, computer generated graphics or video  
applications  
use of standard telephone lines or low speed network connections  
use of complex modeling software, such as high end computer aided  
design applications  
use of several applications or functionalities simultaneously  
use of computer in areas with low air pressure (high altitude >1,000  
meters or >3,280 feet above sea level)  
use of computer at temperatures outside the range of 5°C to 30°C (41°F  
to 86°F) or >25°C (77°F) at high altitude (all temperature references are  
approximate and may vary depending on the specific computer model -  
please refer to your computer documentation or visit the TOSHIBA  
website at www.pcsupport.toshiba.com for details).  
CPU performance may also vary from specifications due to design  
configuration.  
Under some conditions, your computer product may automatically shut-  
down. This is a normal protective feature designed to reduce the risk of lost  
User’s Manual  
C-1  
 
     
data or damage to the product when used outside recommended  
conditions. To avoid risk of lost data, always make back-up copies of data  
by periodically storing it on an external storage medium. For optimum  
performance, use your computer product only under recommended  
conditions. Read additional restrictions in your product documentation.  
Contact TOSHIBA technical service and support, refer to Troubleshooting  
section in Chapter 6 Troubleshooting for more information.  
64-Bit Computing  
64-bit processors are designed to take advantage of 32 and 64 bit  
computing.  
64-bit computing requires that the following hardware and software  
requirements are met:  
64-bit Operating System  
64-bit CPU, Chipset and BIOS (Basic Input/Output System)  
64-bit Device drivers  
64-bit applications  
Certain device drivers and/or applications may not be compatible with a 64-  
bit CPU and therefore may not function properly.  
Memory (Main System)  
Part of the main system memory may be used by the graphics system for  
graphics performance and therefore reduce the amount of main system  
memory available for other computing activities. The amount of main  
system memory allocated to support graphics may vary depending on the  
graphics system, applications utilized, system memory size and other  
factors.  
If your computer is configured with more than 3 GB memory, the memory  
might be displayed as approximately 3 GB only (depending on the  
computer’s hardware specifications).  
This is correct because the operating system usually displays the available  
memory instead of the physical memory (RAM) built into the computer.  
Various system components (like the video adapter’s GPU and PCI devices  
like Wireless LAN, etc.) require their own memory space. Since a 32-bit  
operating system cannot address more than 4 GB of memory, these  
system resources overlap the physical memory. It is a technical limitation  
that the overlapped memory is not available to the operating system. Even  
though some tools might display the actual physical memory built into your  
computer, the memory available to the operating system will still be  
approximately 3 GB only.  
Computers configured with a 64-bit operating system can address 4 GB or  
more of system memory.

Battery Life  
Battery life may vary considerably depending on product model,  
configuration, applications, power management settings and features  
utilized, as well as the natural performance variations produced by the  
design of individual components. Published battery life numbers are  
achieved on select models and configurations tested by TOSHIBA at the  
time of publication. Recharge time varies depending on usage. Battery may  
not charge while computer is consuming full power.  
After going through many charge and discharge cycles, the battery will lose  
its ability to perform at maximum capacity and will need to be replaced.  
This is a normal phenomenon for all batteries. To purchase a new battery  
pack, see the accessories information that is shipped with your computer.  
Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Capacity  
1 Gigabyte (GB) means 109 = 1,000,000,000 bytes using powers of 10. The  
computer operating system, however, reports storage capacity using  
powers of 2 for the definition of 1 GB = 230 = 1,073,741,824 bytes, and  
therefore shows less storage capacity. Available storage capacity will also  
be less if the product includes one or more pre-installed operating systems,  
such as Microsoft Operating System and/or pre-installed software  
applications, or media content. Actual formatted capacity may vary.  
LCD  
Over a period of time, and depending on the usage of the computer, the  
brightness of the LCD screen will deteriorate. This is an intrinsic  
characteristic of LCD technology.  
Maximum brightness is only available when operating in AC power mode.  
Screen will dim when the computer is operated on battery power and you  
may not be able to increase the brightness of the screen.  
Graphics Processing Unit ("GPU")  
Graphics processing unit ("GPU") performance may vary depending on  
product model, design configuration, applications, power management  
settings and features utilized. GPU performance is only optimized when  
operating in AC power mode and may decrease considerably when  
operating in battery power mode.  
Total Available Graphics Memory is the total of, as applicable, Dedicated  
Video Memory, System Video Memory and Shared System Memory.  
Shared System Memory will vary depending on system memory size and  
other factors.

Wireless LAN  
The transmission speed over the wireless LAN and the distance over which  
wireless LAN can reach may vary depending on surrounding  
electromagnetic environment, obstacles, access point design and  
configuration, and client design and software/hardware configurations.  
The actual transmission speed will be lower than the theoretical maximum  
speed.
