Select a Place To Work
You computer is portable, designed to be used in a variety of cir-
cumstances and locations. However, by giving some thought to
your work environment, you can protect the computer and make
your work hours more comfortable.
Keep the Computer Comfortable
Use a flat surface with enough room to operate comfortably. If
you’re planning to use a printer or other external device, make
sure there’s enough space for it as well.
To keep your computer in prime operating condition, make sure
your work area is free from:
❖
dust, moisture and direct sunlight.
❖
liquids and corrosive chemicals.
Don’t spill liquids into the computer. If you spill a liquid into
the keyboard, turn the computer off, unplug it from the AC
power source, and let it dry completely before turning it on
again.
If the computer does not operate correctly after you turn it
back on, contact a Toshiba authorized service provider.
❖
objects that generate a strong electromagnetic field, such as
stereo speakers (except ones you have connected to the com-
puter) or speakerphones.
❖
rapid changes in temperature or humidity and sources of tem-
perature changes such as air conditioner vents or heaters.
❖
extreme heat, cold or humidity. Operate the computer within a
temperature range of 40 to 95 degrees Fahrenheit (5 to 35
degrees Celsius) and a relative humidity of 20 to 80 percent.
