Customizing your computer’s settings

Starting again from Sleep mode

To start up the computer from Sleep mode, press the power button until the on/off light glows blue. The computer returns to the screen(s) you were using.

If you place the computer in Sleep mode by closing the display panel, you can start it again by opening the display panel.

Closing the display panel

After you have turned off the computer, close the display panel to keep dust and dirt out of the computer.

Customizing your computer’s settings

There are several ways in which you can customize your computer to suit your particular requirements. Refer to your operating system documentation or Help and Support for details.

You may also wish to customize your power usage settings. For more information, see “Power Plans” on page 110. There are additional custom settings you can choose. See “Toshiba Utilities” on page 135.

Caring for your computer

This section gives tips on cleaning and moving your computer. For information about taking care of your computer’s battery, see “Taking care of your battery” on page 115.

Cleaning the computer

Keep liquids, including cleaning fluid, out of the computer’s keyboard, speaker, and other openings. Never spray cleaner directly onto the computer. Never use harsh or caustic chemical products to clean the computer.

To keep your computer clean, gently wipe the display panel and exterior case with a lightly dampened cloth.

Moving the computer

Before moving your computer, even across the room, make sure all disk activity has ended (the drive indicator light stops glowing) and all external peripheral cables are disconnected.
