General Precautions
TOSHIBA computers are designed to optimize safety, minimize strain and
withstand the rigours of portability. However, certain precautions should be
observed to further reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the
computer.
Be certain to read the general precautions below and to note the cautions
included in the text of the manual. Please also refer to the Safety
Instruction Manual.
Stress injury
Carefully read the Safety Instruction Manual. It contains information on the
prevention of stress injuries from your hands and wrists that can be caused
by extensive keyboard use. Chapter 3, Getting Started , also includes
information on workspace design, posture and lighting that can help reduce
physical stress.
Heat warning
■
Avoid prolonged physical contact with the computer. If the computer is
used for long periods, its surface can become very warm. While the
temperature will not feel hot to the touch, if you maintain physical
contact with the computer for a long time (if you rest the computer on
your lap, or if you keep your hands on the palm rest, for example) your
skin might suffer low-heat injury.
■ If the computer has been used for a long time, avoid direct contacting
with the metal plate supporting the I/O ports. It can become hot.
■ The surface of the AC adaptor can become hot when in use. This
condition does not indicate a malfunction. If you need to transport the
AC adaptor, disconnect it and let it cool before moving it.
■
Do not lay the AC adaptor on a material that is sensitive to heat. The
material could be damaged.
