General Precautions
TOSHIBA computers are designed to optimize safety, minimize strain and with-
stand the rigors 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.
Creating a computer-friendly environment
Place the computer on a flat surface that is large enough for the computer and
any other items you are using, such as a printer.
Leave enough space around the computer and other equipment to provide ade-
quate ventilation. Otherwise, they may overheat.
To keep your computer in prime operating condition, protect your work are from:
❑
Dust, moisture, and direct sunlight
❑
Equipment that generates a strong electromagnetic field, such as stereo
speakers (other than speakers that are connected to the computer) or speak-
erphones.
❑
Rapid changes in temperature or humidity and some sources of temperature
change such as air conditioner vents or heaters.
❑
Extreme heat, cold, or humidity.
❑
Liquids and corrosive chemicals.
Stress injury
Carefully read the Instruction Manual for Safety & Comfort . It contains informa-
tion on prevention of stress injuries to your hands and wrists that can be caused
by extensive keyboard use.
