User's Manual 3-5
Using the tablet for the first time
This section provides basic information about how to start using your tablet.
It covers below steps followed by the details.
Connecting the AC adaptor
Turning on the power
Initial Setup
Turning off the power
Use a virus-check program and make sure that it is updated regularly.
Never format storage media without checking its content - formatting
destroys all stored data.
It is a good idea to periodically backup internal storage of the tablet to
an external media. General storage media is not durable or stable
over long periods of time and under certain conditions might result in
data loss.
Connecting the AC adaptor
Some models are equipped with AC adaptor.
When battery power becomes low, you must charge it.
Use only the tablet connected to an AC power source to charge the battery.
Never attempt to charge the battery with any other charger.
The AC adaptor can automatically adjust to any voltage ranging from 100
volt to 240 volt and to a frequency of either 50 hertz or 60 hertz, enabling
you to use this product in almost any country/region. The adaptor converts
AC power to DC power and reduces the voltage supplied to this tablet.

1. AC adaptor 2. Micro-USB cable
Depending on the model, either a 2-pin or 3-pin AC adaptor might be
bundled with the tablet.
User's Manual 3-6
The supplied Micro-USB cable conforms to safety rules and is
designed to provide adequate and steady power supply to the tablet.
Make sure to use the supplied Micro-USB cable when you charge the
tablet or purchase an optional USB cable from TOSHIBA website.
Attach the AC adaptor when you want to charge the battery or operate from
AC power. It is also the fastest way to get started, because the battery
must be charged before you can operate from battery power.
Always use the TOSHIBA AC adaptor that was included with your
tablet, or use AC adaptors specified by TOSHIBA to avoid any risk
damage to the tablet. Use of an incompatible AC adaptor could cause
fire or damage to the tablet possibly resulting in serious injury.
TOSHIBA assumes no liability for any damage caused by use of an
incompatible adaptor.
Never plug the AC adaptor into a power source that does not
correspond to both the voltage and the frequency specified on the
regulatory label of the unit. Failure to do so could result in a fire or
electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.
When you connect the AC adaptor to the tablet, always follow the
steps in the exact order as described below. Connecting the plug to a
live electrical outlet should be the last step otherwise the USB
connector could hold an electrical charge and cause an electrical
shock or minor bodily injury when touched. As a general safety
precaution, avoid touching any metal parts.
Never place your tablet or AC adaptor on a wooden surface, furniture,
or any other surface that could be marred by exposure to heat since
the tablet base and the surface of the AC adaptor increase in
temperature during normal use.
Always place your tablet or AC adaptor on a flat and hard surface that
is resistant to heat damage.
1. Plug the USB connector of the Micro-USB cable into the AC adaptor.
