Caring for your computer

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.
Do not pick up the computer by its display panel or by the back.
Doing so could damage the system.
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
computer lock cable. For more information on purchasing a cable
lock, visit accessories.toshiba.com.

To secure the computer:
1Wrap 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.
3Insert the cable’s locking end into the security lock slot on your
computer, then engage the locking device.
The computer is now securely locked.
