TOSHIBA Service Station
The TOSHIBA Service Station utility is used to provide you with updates for
both application and system software. It will notify you when new versions
of your software are available, as well as download and install them.
To open TOSHIBA Service Station:
Press the
Launcher
tab ->
Applications
->
TOSHIBA Service Station
.
Window
When you run the TOSHIBA Service Station for the first time, you are
prompted to accept the access agreement. The agreement authorizes the
utility to collect certain basic information about your device and send it to
the TOSHIBA servers as part of the process of obtaining updates. Accept
or Decline the agreement by clicking the buttons on the left. While it is
possible to decline the agreement, it is not recommended, as this means
the Service Station utility will not run, and you will not be notified of new
software updates for your device.
Main Window
The main window of this application includes three areas:
Header
,
Buttons
, and
Information
.
■
Header
This section runs along the top of the screen, and contains basic
information about your system such as the version of the OS, the
device part number and serial number.
■
Buttons
Buttons are displayed on the left side of the screen. These buttons will
change, depending on what actions you have available on the current
screen.
■
Information
The main part of the screen displays information such as the list of
available updates, or more detailed information about a specific update.
Check for Updates
During normal operations, the TOSHIBA Service Station will periodically
check to see if there are any updates for your system. This is done
automatically. If there are new updates available, you will be notified with
the TOSHIBA Service Station icon in the status bar of your device.
While the TOSHIBA Service Station will periodically check for updates in
the background, you can request that it check for updates immediately.
Press the
Check for Updates
button, and the application will refresh the
list of available updates.
■
It is not normally necessary to check for updates manually, as the utility
checks for them automatically and informs you when one is available.
■
Please connect the AC adapter before updating.
