Part I: Getting to Know Your Computer
Getting Started
Caring for your computer
55
Moving the computer
Before moving your computer, even across the room, make
sure all disk activity has ended (the drive activity lights stop
glowing) 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 the
Toshiba Accessories
Catalog.
Other precautions
Do not spill liquids into the computer’s keyboard.
If you do spill a liquid that gets into the keyboard, turn off
the computer immediately. Leave the computer turned
off overnight to let it dry out before you use it again.
Never turn off the computer if a disk activity light
indicates that a drive is being accessed.
Turning off the computer while it is reading from or
writing to a disk may damage the disk, the drive, or
both.
Keep the computer and diskettes away from objects
that generate strong magnetic fields, such as large
stereo speakers.
Information on diskettes is stored magnetically. Placing
a magnet too close to a diskette can erase important
files.
