General Precautions

TOSHIBA computers are designed to optimize safety, minimize strain and

withstand 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.

Stress injury

Carefully read the Safety Instruction Manual. It contains information on

prevention of stress injuries to your hands and wrists than can be caused

by extensive keyboard use. Chapter 3, Getting Started, also includes

information on workspace design, posture and lighting that can help reduce

physical stress.

Heat injury

■Avoid prolonged physical contact with the computer. If the computer is

used for long periods, its surface can become very warm. While the

temperature will not feel hot to the touch, if you maintain physical contact

with the computer for a long time (if you rest the computer on your lap,

or if you keep your hands on the palm rest, for example) your skin might

suffer low-heat injury.

■If the computer has been used for a long time, avoid direct contact with

the metal plate supporting the I/O ports. It can become hot.

■The surface of the AC adaptor can become hot when in use. This

condition does not indicate a malfunction. If you need to transport the

AC adaptor, disconnect it and let it cool before moving it.

■Do not lay the AC adaptor on a material that is sensitive to heat. The

material could be damaged.

Pressure or impact damage

Do not apply heavy pressure to the computer or subject it to strong impact.

Excessive pressure or impact can cause damage to computer components

or otherwise cause malfunctions.

PC card overheating

Some PC cards can become hot with prolonged use. Overheating of a PC

card can result in errors or instability in the PC card operation. Also be careful

when you remove a PC card that has been used for a long time.

Mobile phones

Use of mobile phones can interfere with the audio system. Computer

operation is not impaired but is recommended that a distance of 30cm be

maintained between the computer and a mo-bile phone in use.

TECRA M2 vi

Central Processing Unit ("CPU") Performance Disclaimer

CPU Performance in your computer product may vary from specifications

under the following conditions:

■use of certain peripheral products

■use of battery power instead of AC power

■use of certain multimedia games or videos with special effects

■use of standard telephone lines or low speed network connections

■use of complex modeling software, such as high end computer aided

design application

■use of computer in areas with low air pressure (high altitude >1,000

meters or >3,280 feet above sea level)

■use of computer at temperatures outside the range of 5°C to 35°C (41°F

to 95°F) or >25°C (77°F) at high altitude (all temperature reference are

approximate).

CPU Performance may also vary from specifications due to design

configuration.

Under some conditions, your computer product may automatically shut-

down. This is a normal protective feature designed to reduce the risk of lost

data or damage to the product when used outside recommended

conditions. To avoid risk of lost data, always make back-up copies of data

by periodically storing it on an external storage medium. For optimum

performance, use your computer product only under recommended

conditions. Read additional restrictions under “Environmental

Requirements” in appendix A. Contact TOSHIBA Service and Support for

more information.

CE compliance

This product and the original options are designed to observe the related

EMC (Electromagnetic compatibility) and safety standards. However,

TOSHIBA should not guarantee that this product still observes these EMC

standards if options or cables not produced by TOSHIBA are connected or

implemented. In this case the persons who have connected / implemented

those options / cables have to assure that the system (PC plus options /

cables) still fulfils the required standards. To avoid in general EMC problems

following advice should be observed:

■Only CE marked options should be connected / implemented

■Only best shielded cables should be connected

TECRA M2 vii

Working environment

This product was designed to fulfil the EMC (electromagnetic compatibility)

requirements to be observed for so-called “Residential, commercial and

light industry environments”.

TOSHIBA do not approve the use of this product in working environments

other than the above mentioned “Residential, commercial and light industry

environments”.

For example, the following environments are not approved:

■Industrial Environments (environments with a mains voltage >230V~)

■Medical Environments

■Automotive Environments

■Aircraft Environments

Any consequences resulting from the use of this product in working

environments that are not approved are not the responsibility of TOSHIBA

Europe GmbH.

The consequences of the use of this product in non-approved working

environments may be:

■Interference with other devices or machines in the near surrounding area

■Malfunction of, or data loss from, this product caused by disturbances

generated by other devices or machines in the near surrounding area

Therefore TOSHIBA strongly recommend that the electromagnetic

compatibility of this product should be suitably tested in all non-approved

working environments before use. In the case of automobiles or aircraft, the

manufacturer or airline respectively should be asked for permission before

use of this product.

Furthermore, for general safety reasons, the use of this product in

environments with explosive atmospheres is not permitted.

Network connection (class A warning)

If this product has networking capabilities and will be connected to a

network, Class A radiation limits will be observed (in accordance with

technical conventions). This means that if the product will be used in a

domestic environment, other devices in the near surrounding may suffer

interference. Consequently, please do not use this product in such

environments (for example a living room), otherwise you could be held

responsible for any ensuing interference.

If this product is supplied with a network port, please refer to the

paragraph “Network connection”.

TECRA M2 viii

Information on the secure use of the CD-RW

Please adhere to the following information on the use of the CD-RW to

minimise the risk of unsuccessful storing process. As the storing may be

unsuccessful despite your adhering to these information, for example

because of a defective storing medium, you should even if the software

indicates a successful storage, always check if the data has been stored

successfully.

Wireless LAN and your Health

Wireless LAN products, like other radio devices, emit radio frequency

electromagnetic energy. The level of energy emitted by Wireless LAN

devices however is far much less than the electromagnetic energy emitted

by wireless devices like for example mobile phones.

Because Wireless LAN products operate within the guidelines found in radio

frequency safety standards and recommendations, TOSHIBA believes

Wireless LAN is safe for use by consumers. These standards and

recommendations reflect the consensus of the scientific community and

result from deliberations of panels and committees of scientists who

continually review and interpret the extensive research literature.

In some situations or environments, the use of Wireless LAN may be

restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of

the organisation. These situations may for example include:

■Using the Wireless LAN equipment on board of aeroplanes, or

■In any other environment where the risk of interference to other devices

or services is perceived or identified as harmful.

If you are uncertain of the policy that applies on the use of wireless devices

in a specific organisation or environment (e.g. airports), you are encouraged

to ask for authorisation to use the Wireless LAN device prior to turning on

the equipment.
