Keeping yourself comfortable
The Toshiba Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort, included with your computer, contains helpful information for setting up your work environment and tips for working comfortably throughout the day.
Precautions
Your computer is designed to provide optimum safety and ease of use, and to withstand the rigors of travel. You should observe certain precautions to further reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the computer.
❖Avoid prolonged physical contact with the underside or surface of the computer.
Never allow any liquids to spill into any part of your computer, and never expose the computer to rain, water, seawater or moisture. Exposure to liquid or moisture can cause electric shock or fire, resulting in damage or serious injury. If any of these eventualities should accidentally occur, immediately:
1.Turn off the computer.
2.Disconnect the AC adaptor from the power plug socket and computer.
3.Remove the battery pack.
Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or permanent damage to the computer.
Do not turn on the power again until you have taken the computer to an authorized service center.
