Power conditions The computer’s operating capability and battery charge status are affected by the power conditions: whether an AC Adaptor is connected, whether a battery is installed and what the charge level is for the battery.
Power Power conditions (continued) Power on AC Adaptor not connected Battery charge is above low battery trigger point • Operates • LED: Battery off DC IN off Battery charge is below low battery trigger point • Operates • LED: Battery flashes orange DC IN off Battery charge is exhausted Computer goes into Standby Mode and shuts down No battery installed • Cannot operate • LED: Battery off DC IN off Power off (no operation) Power indicators As shown in the above table, the Battery, DC IN and Power
Power If the battery becomes too hot while it is being charged, the charge will stop and the Battery indicator will go out. When the battery’s temperature falls to a normal range, charge will resume. This occurs whether the computer’s power is on or off. DC IN indicator Check the DC IN indicator to determine the power status with the AC Adaptor connected: Green Indicates the AC Adaptor is connected and supplying proper power to the computer. Flashing orange Indicates a problem with the power supply.
Power Battery pack When the AC Adaptor is not connected, the computer’s main power source is a removable lithium ion battery pack, also referred to in this manual as the battery. You can purchase additional battery packs for extended use of the computer away from an AC power source. Do not change the battery pack while the AC Adaptor is connected. Before you remove the battery pack, save your data and shut down the computer, or set the computer to Hibernation Mode.
Power High Capacity Battery Pack (Option) A High Capacity Battery Pack is installable instead of a main battery pack. The connection method of High Capacity Battery Pack is the same as that of main battery pack. ■ The battery pack is a lithium ion battery, which can explode if not properly replaced, used, handled or disposed of. Dispose of the battery as required by local ordinances or regulations. Use only batteries recommended by TOSHIBA as replacements.
Power Care and use of the battery pack The battery pack is a vital component of portable computing. Taking proper care of it will help ensure longer operating time on battery power as well as a longer life for your battery pack. Follow the instructions in this section carefully to ensure safe operation and maximum performance. Safety precautions Mishandling of battery packs can cause death, serious injury or property damage.
Power 9. Never expose a battery pack to abnormal shock, vibration or pressure. The battery pack’s internal protective device could fail, causing it to overheat or ignite resulting in caustic liquid leakage, or explosion or fire, possibly resulting in death or serious injury. 10. Never subject a battery pack to heat, and never store it or use it near a heat source. The battery pack could ignite or explode when heated or burned, possibly resulting in death or serious injury.
Power Caution 1. Use only battery packs recommended by TOSHIBA as replacements. 2. When installing a battery pack or before moving the PC, always make sure the battery pack is inserted correctly and securely. If the battery falls out, while you are carrying the PC, you could be injured or the battery pack could be damaged. 3. Charge the battery pack only in an ambient temperature between 5 and 35 degrees Celsius.
Power Charging the batteries When the power in the battery pack becomes low, the Battery indicator flashes orange indicating that only a few minutes of battery power remain. If you continue to use the computer while the Battery indicator flashes, the computer enables Hibernation mode (so you don’t lose data) and automatically turns off. The computer enters Hibernate mode only if Hibernation is enabled in two places: the Hibernate tab in Power Options and Setup Action tab in TOSHIBA Power Saver.
Power Battery charging notice The battery may not charge right away under the following conditions: ■ The battery is extremely hot or cold. If the battery is extremely hot, it might not charge at all. To ensure the battery charges to its full capacity, charge the battery at room temperature of 10° to 30°C (50° to 88°F). ■ The battery is nearly completely discharged. Leave the AC Adaptor connected for a few minutes and the battery should begin charging.
Power Maximizing battery operating time A battery’s usefulness depends on how long it can supply power on a single charge. How long the charge lasts in a battery depends on: ■ How you configure the computer (for example, whether you enable battery-power saving options). The computer provides a battery save mode, which can be set in TOSHIBA Power Saver, to conserve battery power.

Glossary ANSI: American National Standards Institute. An organization established to adopt and define standards for a variety of technical disciplines. For example, ANSI defined the ASCII standard and other information processing requirements. antistatic: A material used to prevent the buildup of static electricity. application: A group of programs that together are used for a specific task such as accounting, financial planning, spreadsheets, word processing and games.
Glossary byte: The representation of a single character. A sequence of eight bits treated as a single unit; also the smallest addressable unit within the system. C cache memory: High speed memory which stores data that increases processor speed and data transfer rate. When the CPU reads data from main memory, it stores a copy of this data in cache memory. The next time the CPU needs that same data, it looks for it in the cache memory rather than the main memory, which saves time.
Glossary compatibility: 1) The ability of one computer to accept and process data in the same manner as another computer without modifying the data or the media upon which it is being transferred. 2) the ability of one device to connect to or communicate with another system or component. components: Elements or parts (of a system) which make up the whole (system). Composite Video (YUV): A standard video signal used to transmit images, e.g. from a VCR to a TV.
Glossary default: The parameter value automatically selected by the system when you or the program do not provide instructions. Also called a preset value. delete: To remove data from a disk or other data storage device. Synonymous with erase. device driver: A program that controls communication between a specific peripheral device and the computer. The CONFIG.SYS file contains device drivers that MS-DOS loads when you turn the computer on.
Glossary DVD+R DL: A disc having two layers on one side with the DVD+R storage capacity about 1.8 times larger than before. The DVD-RW drive uses a laser to read data from the disc. E echo: To send back a reflection of the transmitted data to the sending device. You can display the information on the screen, or output it to the printer, or both.
Glossary G gigabyte (GB): A unit of data storage equal to 1024 megabytes. See also megabyte. graphics: Drawings, pictures, or other images, such as charts or graphs, to present information. H hard disk: A non-removable disk usually referred to as drive C. The factory installs this disk and only a trained engineer can remove it for servicing. Also called fixed disk. hard disk drive (HDD): An electromechanical device that reads and writes a hard disk. See also hard disk.
Glossary interface: 1) Hardware and/or software components of a system used specifically to connect one system or device to another. 2) To physically connect one system or device to another to exchange information. 3) The point of contact between user, the computer, and the program, for example, the keyboard or a menu. interrupt request: A signal that gives a component access to the processor. I/O: Input/output. Refers to acceptance and transfer of data to and from a computer.
Glossary M main board: See motherboard. megabyte (MB): A unit of data storage equal to 1024 kilobytes. See also kilobyte. megahertz: A unit of wave frequency that equals 1 million cycles per second. See also hertz. menu: A software interface that displays a list of options on the screen. Also called a screen. microprocessor: A hardware component contained in a single integrated circuit that carries out instructions. Also called the central processing unit (CPU), one of the main parts of the computer.
Glossary operating system: A group of programs that controls the basic operation of a computer. Operating system functions include interpreting programs, creating data files, and controlling the transmission and receipt (input/output) of data to and from memory and peripheral devices. output: The results of a computer operation. Output commonly indicates data. 1) printed on paper, 2) displayed at a terminal, 3) sent through the serial port of internal modem, or 4) stored on some magnetic media.
Glossary prompt: A message the computer provides indicating it is ready for or requires information or an action from you. R Radio frequency interference (RFI) shield: A metal shield enclosing the printed circuit boards of the printer or computer to prevent radio and TV interference. All computer equipment generates radio frequency signals. The FCC regulates the amount of signals a computing device can allow past its shielding. A Class A device is sufficient for office use.
Glossary soft key: Key combinations that emulate keys on the IBM keyboard, change some configuration options, stop program execution, and access the numeric keypad overlay. software: The set of programs, procedures and related documentation associated with a computer system. Specifically refers to computer programs that direct and control the computer system’s activities. See also hardware.
Glossary W warm start: Restarting or resetting a computer without turning it off. window: A portion of the screen that can display its own application, document or dialog box.
