Four types of messages are used in this manual to bring important information to your

Improper repair of the computer may result in safety hazards. Toshiba requires service
technicians and authorized dealers or service providers to ensure the following safety
precautions are adhered to strictly.
Be sure to fasten screws securely with the right screwdriver. If a screw is not fully
fastened, it could come loose, creating a danger of a short circuit, which could cause
overheating, smoke or fire.
If you replace the battery pack, RTC battery or backup battery, be sure to use only the
same model battery or an equivalent battery recommended by Toshiba. Installation of
the wrong battery can cause the battery to explode.
