Legal Footnotes
Under some conditions, your computer product may automatically shutdown.
This is a normal protective feature designed to reduce the risk of lost data or
damage to the product when used outside recommended conditions. To avoid
risk of lost data, always make back-up copies of data by periodically storing it
on an external storage medium. For optimum performance, use your computer
product only under recommended conditions. Read additional restrictions in your
product documentation. Contact TOSHIBA technical service and support, refer to
TOSHIBA support section in Chapter 9, Troubleshooting for more information.
64-Bit Computing.
64-bit processors are designed to take advantage of 32 and 64 bit computing.
64-bit computing requires that the following hardware and software requirements
are met:
n
64-bit Operating System
n
64-bit CPU, Chipset and BIOS (Basic Input/Output System)
n
64-bit Device drivers
n
64-bit applications
Certain device drivers and/or applications may not be compatible with a 64- bit
CPU and therefore may not function properly. A 32-bit version of the operating
system is preinstalled on your computer unless explicitly stated that the operating
system is 64-bit.

Memory (Main System)

Part of the main system memory may be used by the graphics system for graphics
performance and therefore reduce the amount of main system memory available
for other computing activities. The amount of main system memory allocated
to support graphics may vary depending on the graphics system, applications
utilized, system memory size and other factors. For computer’s congured with 4
GB of system memory, the full system memory space for computing activities will
be considerably less and will vary by model and system conguration.

Battery Life

Battery life may vary considerably depending on product model, conguration,
applications, power management settings and features utilized, as well as the
natural performance variations produced by the design of individual components.
Published battery life numbers are achieved on select models and congurations
tested by TOSHIBA at the time of publication. Recharge time varies depending on
usage. Battery may not charge while computer is consuming full power.
After going through many charge and discharge cycles, the battery will lose its
ability to perform at maximum capacity and will need to be replaced. This is a
normal phenomenon for all batteries. To purchase a new battery pack, see the
accessories information that is shipped with your computer.
