Introduction
============
The FreeType Project is distributed in several archive packages; some of
them may contain, in addition to the FreeType font engine, various tools
and contributions which rely on, or relate to, the FreeType Project.
This license applies to all files found in such packages, and which do not
fall under their own explicit license. The license affects thus the FreeType
font engine, the test programs, documentation and makefiles, at the very
least.
This license was inspired by the BSD, Artistic, and IJG (Independent JPEG
Group) licenses, which all encourage inclusion and use of free software in
commercial and freeware products alike. As a consequence, its main
points are that:
We don't promise that this software works. However, we will be
interested in any kind of bug reports. (`as is' distribution)
You can use this software for whatever you want, in parts or full form,
without having to pay us. (`royalty-free' usage)
You may not pretend that you wrote this software. If you use it, or only
parts of it, in a program, you must acknowledge somewhere in your
documentation that you have used the FreeType code. (`credits')
We specifically permit and encourage the inclusion of this software, with or
without modifications, in commercial products.
We disclaim all warranties covering The FreeType Project and assume no
liability related to The FreeType Project.
Finally, many people asked us for a preferred form for a credit/disclaimer to
use in compliance with this license. We thus encourage you to use the
following text:
"""
Portions of this software are copyright (C) <year> The FreeType Project
www.freetype.org
All rights reserved.
"""
Please replace <year> with the value from the FreeType version you
actually use.

ENERGY STAR® Program
Your Computer model may be ENERGY STAR® compliant.
If the model you purchased is compliant, it is labeled with
the ENERGY STAR logo on the computer and the following
information applies.
TOSHIBA is a partner in the ENERGY STAR Program and
has designed this computer to meet the latest ENERGY
STAR guidelines for energy efficiency. Your computer
ships with the power management options preset to a
configuration that will provide the most stable operating
environment and optimum system performance for both
AC power and battery modes.
To conserve energy, your computer is set to enter the low-
power Sleep Mode which shuts down the system and
display within 15 minutes of inactivity in AC power mode.
TOSHIBA recommends that you leave this and other
energy saving features active, so that your computer will
operate at its maximum energy efficiency. You can wake
the computer from Sleep Mode by pressing the power
button.
Your ENERGY STAR certified computer should be set by
default to enter a low-power "sleep mode" after a period of
inactivity. Simply touching the mouse or keyboard "wakes"
the computer in seconds. These sleep features can save
you up to $23 per year (200 kWh per year in electricity)
and prevent up to 300 pounds of greenhouse gas
emissions annually.To learn how to adjust or activate
these sleep settings on your computer, please go to:
www.energystar.gov/sleepinstructions
To activate sleep settings organization-wide quickly and
easily through network tools, please go to
www.energystar.gov/powermanagement
Disposing of the computer and the computer's
batteries
The computer's battery is not user-accessible. Contact an authorized
TOSHIBA service provider for details regarding how to dispose of the
computer and the batteries.
General Precautions
TOSHIBA computers are designed to optimize safety, minimize strain and
withstand the rigors of portability. However, certain precautions should be
![](/img.php?id=2387032&img=bg12.png)
User's Manual 1-15
observed to further reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the
computer.
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 computer 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
computer is in Sleep Mode). In this condition, observe the following:
Never cover your computer or AC adaptor with any object.
Never place your computer or AC adaptor near a heat source, such as
an electric blanket or heater.
Always provide sufficient space around the computer.

To help ensure long, trouble-free operation, keep the computer free of dust
and dirt, and use care with all liquids around it.
Be careful not to spill liquids into the computer. If the computer does
get wet, turn the power off immediately and let the computer dry
completely - in these circumstances you should get the computer
inspected by an authorized service provider in order to assess the
scope of any damage.
Clean the plastics of the computer using a slightly water dampened
cloth.
You can clean the display screen by spraying a small amount of glass
cleaner onto a soft, clean cloth and then wiping the screen gently with
the cloth.
Never spray cleaner directly onto the computer or let liquid run into any part
of it. Never use harsh or caustic chemical products to clean the computer.
Moving the computer
While the computer is designed for flexible day-to-day usage you should
exercise a few simple precautions when moving it in order to help ensure
trouble-free operation.
Make sure all disk activity has ended before moving the computer.
Turn off (shut down) the computer.

information on the safe and proper use of this tablet. It is intended to help
you be more comfortable and productive while using a tablet. By following
the recommendations in it you may reduce your chance of developing a
painful or disabling injury to your hand, arms, shoulders or neck.

Initial setup
Use a virus-check program and make sure it is updated regularly.
![](/img.php?id=2387032&img=bg17.png)
User's Manual 2-3
Never format storage media without checking its content - formatting
destroys all stored data.
It is a good idea to periodically back up the internal storage to external
media. General storage media is not durable or stable over long
periods of time and under certain conditions may result in data loss.
Before you install a device or application, save any data in memory to
the internal storage or other storage media. Failure to do so may result
in the loss of data.
Connecting the AC adaptor
Attach the AC adaptor when you need to charge the battery or you want to
operate from AC power. It is also the fastest way to get started, because
the battery pack will need to be charged before you can operate from
battery power.
The AC adaptor can automatically adjust to any voltage ranging from 100
to 240 volts and to a frequency of either 50 or 60 hertz, enabling you to use
this tablet in almost any country/region. The adaptor converts AC power to
DC power and reduces the voltage supplied to this tablet.
Always use the TOSHIBA AC adaptor that was included with your
tablet, or use AC adaptors specified by TOSHIBA to avoid any risk of
fire or other 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.
Always use or purchase power cables that comply with the legal
voltage and frequency specifications and requirements in the country
of use. Failure to do so could result in a fire or electric shock, possibly
resulting in serious injury.
The supplied power cord conforms to safety rules and regulations in
the region the tablet is bought and should not be used outside this
region. For use in other regions, please buy power cords that conform
to safety rules and regulations in the particular region.
Do not use a 3-pin to 2-pin conversion plug.

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 AC adaptor's surface increase in temperature
during normal use.

notice
The battery may not begin charging immediately under the following
conditions:
The battery is extremely hot or cold (if the battery is extremely hot, it
might not charge at all). To ensure the battery charges to its full
capacity, you should charge it at room temperature of between 5°C to
35°C (41°F to 95°F).
The battery is nearly completely discharged. In this instance you
should leave the AC adaptor connected for a few minutes and the
battery should begin charging.
The battery may have a rapid decrease in battery operating time when you
try to charge a battery under the following conditions:
The battery has not been used for a long time.
