Flashing orange Indicates a problem with the power supply or overheating of the CPU. Plug the AC adaptor into another outlet. If the indicator still flashes, there could be a problem with the internal converter or the internal temperature is too high.
Battery types The computer has two types of batteries: Battery pack Real Time Clock (RTC) battery 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. The battery is a disposable item. When its operation becomes short even when fully charged, replace it with a new one.
Version 1 Last Saved on 27/01/00 18:20 Care and use of the battery pack The battery pack is a vital component of portable computing. Taking proper care of it will help assure 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 1. Be very careful not to short-circuit the battery pack.
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. You must recharge a battery pack when it becomes discharged.
Version 1 Last Saved on 27/01/00 18:20 Monitoring battery capacity Remaining battery power can be monitored by the Power Saver Utility program. Refer to Utilities in Chapter 1, Introduction. Wait at least 16 seconds after turning on the computer before trying to monitor the remaining operating time. The computer needs this time to check the battery’s remaining capacity and to calculate the remaining operating time, based on the current power consumption rate and remaining battery capacity.
Retaining data with power off When you turn off your computer with fully charged batteries, the batteries retain data for the following approximate time periods: Battery pack 4 to 7 days RTC battery 1 month or longer Extending battery life To maximize the life of your battery pack: If you have extra battery packs, rotate their use. If you will not be using the system for an extended period, remove the battery pack. Store spare battery packs in a cool dry place out of direct sunlight.

Version 1 Last Saved on 27/01/00 18:20 Glossary The terms in this glossary cover topics related to this manual. Alternate naming is included for reference. A AccuPoint II: A pointing device integrated into the Toshiba computer keyboard. adaptor: A device that provides an interface between two dissimilar electronic devices. For example, the AC adaptor modifies the power from a wall outlet for use by the computer.
asynchronous: Lacking regular time relationship. As applied to computer communications, asynchronous refers to the method of transmitting data that does not require a steady stream of bits to be transmitted at regular time intervals. AUTOEXEC.BAT: A batch file that executes a series of MS-DOS commands and programs each time you start the computer. This is no longer necessarily used when booting Windows NT 4.0 and higher. B backup: A duplicate copy of files kept as a spare in case the original is destroyed.
Version 1 Last Saved on 27/01/00 18:20 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. The computer has two cache levels. Level one is incorporated into the processor and level two resides in external memory.
commands: Instructions you enter at the terminal keyboard that direct the actions of the computer or its peripheral devices. communications: The means by which a computer transmits and receives data to and from another computer or device. See parallel interface; serial interface. 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.
Version 1 Last Saved on 27/01/00 18:20 D data bits: A data communications parameter controlling the number of bits (binary digits) used to make up a byte. If data bits = 7 the computer can generate 128 unique characters. If data bits = 8 the computer can generate 256 unique characters. data: Information that is factual, measurable or statistical that a computer can process, store, or retrieve. DC: Direct Current. Electric current that flows in one direction.
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. When a computer receives back data it transmitted to a CRT (or other peripheral device) and then retransmits the data to printer, the printer is said to echo the CRT. EGA: Enhanced Graphics Adaptor.
Version 1 Last Saved on 27/01/00 18:20 G gigabyte (GB): A unit of data storage equal to 1024 megabytes. See also megabyte. GND: Ground. An RS-232C signal used in the exchange of data between a computer and serial device. graphics: Drawings, pictures, or other images, such as charts or graphs, to present information. H hard disk drive (HDD): An electromechanical device that reads and writes a hard disk. See also hard disk. hard disk: A non-removable disk usually referred to as drive C.
I I/O devices: Equipment used to communicate with the computer and transfer data to and from it. I/O: Input/output. Refers to acceptance and transfer of data to and from a computer. icon: A small graphic image displayed on the screen or in the indicator panel. In Windows, an icon represents an object that the user can manipulate. infrared port: A cableless communications port capable of using infrared signals to send serial data.
Version 1 Last Saved on 27/01/00 18:20 L level 2 cache: See cache. Light Emitting Diode (LED): A semiconductor device that emits light when a current is applied. Liquid Crystal Display (LCD): Liquid crystal sealed between two sheets of glass coated with transparent conducting material. The viewingside coating is etched into character forming segments with leads that extend to the edge of the glass. Applying a voltage between the glass sheets alters the brightness of the liquid crystal.
mode: A method of operation, for example, the boot mode or the resume mode. monitor: A device that uses rows and columns of pixels to display alphanumeric characters or graphic images. See also CRT. motherboard: A name sometimes used to refer to the main printed circuit board in processing equipment. It usually contains integrated circuits that perform the processor’s basic functions and provides connectors for adding other boards that perform special functions. Sometimes called a main board.

See also serial interface. parallel: Refers to two or more processes or events that can occur simultaneously, and without interfering with each other. See also serial. parity: 1) The symmetrical relationship between two parameter values (integers) both of which are either on or off; odd or even; 0 or 1.
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. Class B provides a more stringent classification for home equipment use. Toshiba portable computers comply with Class B computing device regulations.

Contrast: Parallel interface.
T TDIAG: A Toshiba diagnostic program used for testing and configuring the computer system’s resources. terminal: A typewriter-like keyboard and CRT display screen connected to the computer for data input/output. TTL: Transistor-transistor logic. A logic circuit design that uses switching transistors for gates and storage. U USB: The Universal Serial Bus is a way to connect up to 127 devices through one connector.
