■ When travelling with the hard drive removed from the computer, wrap
the drive in a non-conducting material, such as cloth or paper. If you
have the drive checked by hand, be ready to install the drive in the
computer. Your can put the hard drive through an X-ray security
machine, but never put it through a metal detector.
■ When travelling, do not place the computer in overhead storage
compartments where it could slide around. Do not drop your computer
or subject it to other mechanical shocks.
■ Protect your computer, battery, and hard drive from environmental
hazards such as dirt, dust, food, liquids, temperature extremes, and
overexposure to sunlight.
■ When you move your computer between environments with very
different temperature and/or humidity ranges, condensation may form
on or within the computer. To avoid damaging the computer, allow
sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate before using the computer.
■ When you disconnect a cable, pull on its connector or on its strain relief
loop, not on the cable itself. As you pull out the connector, keep it
evenly aligned to avoid bending any connector pins. Also, before you
connect a cable make sure both connectors are correctly oriented and
aligned.
■ Before you clean your computer, turn if off, unplug it from its power
source, and remove the battery.
■ Handle components with care. Hold a component such as a memory
module by its edges, not its pins.
■ Do not use this product near water, for example, near a bathtub,
washing bowl, kitchen sink or laundry tub, in a wet basement or near a
swimming pool.
■ Avoid using a telephone (other than a cordless type) during an electrical
storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.
■ Do not use the telephone to report a gas leak in the vicinity of the leak.
■ Use only the power cord indicated in this manual.
■ Replace only with the same or equivalent type battery recommended by
the manufacturer.
■ Dispose of used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
■ To reduce the risk of fire, use only No. 26 AWG or larger
telecommunication line cord.
TOSHIBA assumes no liability for any damage in such case.
When using telephone equipment in conjunction with your computer, basic
safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of fire,
electric shock and injury to persons, including the following:
Use only the battery pack that came with the computer or an optional
battery pack. Use of the wrong battery could damage your computer.
