User’s Manual xiii General Precautions The TOSHIBA AC100 device is designed to optimize safety, minimize strain and withstand the rigors of portability. However, certain precautions should be observed to further reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the device. Be certain to read the general precautions below and to note the cautions included in the text of the manual. Provide adequate ventilation ■ Always make sure your device and AC adaptor have adequate ventilation and are protected from overheating when the power is turned on or when an AC adaptor is connected to a power outlet (even if your device is in Suspend Mode). In this condition, observe the following: ■ Never cover your device or AC adaptor with any object. ■ Never place your device or AC adaptor near a heat source, such as an electric blanket or heater. ■ Always operate your device on a hard flat surface. Using your device on a carpet or other soft material can block the vents. ■ Always provide sufficient space around the device. ■ Overheating your device or AC adaptor could cause system failure, device or AC adaptor damage or a fire, possibly resulting in serious injury. User’s Manual xiv TOSHIBA AC100 Creating a friendly environment Place the device on a flat surface that is large enough for the device and any other items you are using. Leave enough space around the device and other equipment to provide adequate ventilation. Otherwise, they may overheat. To keep your device in prime operating condition, protect your work area from: ■ Dust, moisture, and direct sunlight. ■ Equipment that generates a strong electromagnetic field, such as stereo speakers (other than speakers that are connected to the device) or speakerphones. ■ Rapid changes in temperature or humidity and sources of temperature change such as air conditioner vents or heaters. ■ Extreme heat, cold, or humidity. ■ Liquids and corrosive chemicals. Stress injury Carefully read the Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort. It contains information on the prevention of stress injuries to your hands and wrists that can be caused by extensive keyboard use. Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort also includes information on work space design, posture and lighting that can help reduce physical stress. Heat injury ■ Avoid prolonged physical contact with the device. If the device is used for long periods, its surface can become very warm. While the temperature will not feel hot to the touch, if you maintain physical contact with the device for a long time, for example if you rest the device on your lap or if you keep your hands on the palm rest, your skin might suffer a low-heat injury. ■ If the device has been used for a long time, avoid direct contact with the metal plate supporting the various interface ports as this can become hot. ■ The surface of the AC adaptor can become hot when in use but this condition does not indicate a malfunction. If you need to transport the AC adaptor, you should disconnect it and let it cool before moving it. ■ Do not lay the AC adaptor on a material that is sensitive to heat as the material could become damaged. User’s Manual xv TOSHIBA AC100 Pressure or impact damage Do not apply heavy pressure to the device or subject it to any form of strong impact as this can damage the device's components or otherwise cause it to malfunction.
