Cleaning the computer
Keep liquids, including cleaning fluid, out of the computer’s
keyboard, speaker, and other openings. Never spray cleaner
directly onto the computer. Never use harsh or caustic
chemical products to clean the computer.
To keep your computer clean, gently wipe the display panel
and exterior case with a lightly dampened cloth. Ask your
Toshiba dealer for suggestions for appropriate cleaning
products.
Moving the computer
Before moving your computer, even across the room, make
sure all disk activity has ended (the drive indicator light stops
glowing) and all external peripheral cables are disconnected.
Do not 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, through the accessories information packaged
with your system, or visit
.
Backing up your work
Back up all the files you create in case something happens to
your computer. If you have a network partition, you can hold
copies of your files there.
Alternatively, you can back up your files using a writable
CD-ROM or multi-function drive, or to diskette one at a time
as you are working on them.
