Selecting a place to work
❖Liquids and corrosive chemicals
CAUTION: If you spill liquid into the computer, turn it 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 properly after you turn it
back on, contact a Toshiba service representative or your
network administrator.
❖Equipment that generates a strong electromagnetic field, such
as large 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. Operate the computer within
a temperature range of 41 degrees to 95 degrees Fahrenheit
(5degrees to 35 degrees Celsius) and 20 percent to 80 percent
non-condensing humidity.
Keeping yourself comfortable
Strain and stress injuries are becoming more common as people
spend more time using their computers. However, with a little care
and proper use of the equipment, you can work comfortably
throughout the day.
WARNING: Using the computer keyboard incorrectly can
result in discomfort and possible injury. If your hands,
wrists, and/or arms hurt while typing, stop using the
computer and rest. If the discomfort persists, consult a
physician.
