Operating Basics

Before carrying your computer, shut it down, disconnect the AC adaptor

and allow it to cool down - a failure to follow this instruction may result in

minor heat injury.

Be careful not to subject the computer to impact or shock - a failure to

follow this instruction could result in damage to the computer, computer

failure or loss of data.

Always use a suitable carry case when transporting the computer.

When carrying your computer, be sure to hold it securely so that it does

not fall or hit anything.

Do not carry your computer by holding any of its protruding elements.

Heat dispersal

To protect from overheating, the processor has an internal temperature

sensor. If the computer’s internal temperature rises to a certain level, the

cooling fan is turned on or the processing speed is lowered. You can select

whether to control the processor temperature by turning on the fan first,

then if necessary, lowering the processor speed. Or, by lowering the

processor speed first, then if necessary, turning on the fan. These functions

are controlled within the Power Options.
When the processor temperature falls to a normal range, the fan is turned

off and the processor operation returns to standard speed.

Using the Hard Disk Drive (HDD) Protection

The hard disk drive models have a function for reducing the risk of damage

on the hard disk drive.
Using an acceleration sensor built into the computer, TOSHIBA HDD

Protection detects vibration, falls, shocks and similar signs of movement of

the computer, and automatically moves the Hard Disk Drive head to a safe

position to reduce the risk of damage that could be caused by head-to-disk

contact.

When vibration is detected, a message will be displayed on the screen, and

the icon in the Taskbar notification area will changed to the protection state.

This message is displayed until the OK button is pressed or 30 seconds

pass. When vibration subsides, the icon returns to the normal state.

If the processor temperature reaches an unacceptably high level with

either setting, the system automatically shuts down to prevent damage.

Data in memory will be lost.

The TOSHIBA HDD Protection function does not guarantee that the hard

disk drive will not be damaged.
