Registering your computer online

The first time you use your computer, you will be prompted to complete and mail the registration card or to register your computer with Toshiba online.

To register your computer online at a later time, double-click the icon provided on the desktop and follow the instructions on the screen.

Registering your computer lets Toshiba keep you up-to-date with information about new products and upgrades and also extends your Toshiba warranty worldwide at no charge to you. See the registration card and warranty information for details about warranty options available from Toshiba.

Setting up other devices

You may want to take this time to set up your printer. For more information, see Setting up your printer on page 119.

Turning off the computer

It’s generally a good idea to turn off your computer when you are not using it.

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. With the computer off, it may take up to three hours to recharge the main battery.

Guidelines for turning off the computer:

❖If you have work in progress and aren’t connected to a network, use the Windows Standby command to save your system settings to memory so that, when you turn on the computer again, you automatically return to where you left off.
