Taking care of your battery
USB Charge
—In “Suspend mode,” you can also charge
your tablet, although more slowly, by connecting the USB
cable to the USB port on another computer. Please make
sure your computer is turned ON while charging via USB. If
your computer is turned OFF, depending on the computer’s
specifications, the tablet battery may discharge. Toshiba
recommends that you do not use your tablet while charging
via USB as auto shut down may occur if the battery charge is
too low.
