Caring for your computer

Moving the computer

Before moving your computer, even across the room, make sure that all disk activity has ended and all external peripheral cables are disconnected.

CAUTION: Never pick up the computer by its display panel or by the back (where the ports are located).

Although your notebook computer is built to withstand reasonable shock and vibration, transport it in a carrying case for long trips. You can purchase a carrying case from your Toshiba dealer or through Toshiba’s Web site at www.toshibaaccessories.com.

Using a computer lock

You may want to secure your computer to a heavy object such as your desk. The easiest way to do this is to purchase an optional PORT-Noteworthy Cable Lock.

PORT-Noteworthy computer lock cable

To secure the computer:

1Loop the cable through or around some part of a heavy object. Make sure there is no way for a potential thief to slip the cable off the object.

2Pass the locking end through the loop.
