TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor

The TOSHIBA Health Monitor software program monitors computer system 

functions such as power consumption, the cooling system and HDD Drop 

sensor. It alerts users of specific system conditions via pop-up messages. It 

also tracks the usages of the computer and related devices, logging the 

service relevant information on the computer's hard disk drive.

■

The collected information includes device operation time and number of 

actuations or status changes (i.e.: number of power button and FN key 

combination uses, AC adaptor, battery, LCD, fan, HDD, sound volume, 

wireless communication switch, TOSHIBA Express Port Replicator and 

USB information), date of initial system use, and also computer and 

device usage (i.e.: power settings, battery temperature and recharging, 

CPU, memory, backlight illumination time, and temperatures for various 

devices, property (e.g.: product name, model number, part number, 

serial number, BIOS version, FW version) of the system and 

components (e.g.: Video device, Sound device, Network device, Hard 

Disk drive, Solid State drive, Optical Disc drive), operating system and 

software information (e.g.: OS version, OS install date, Direct X version, 

Internet Explorer version, installed update program and driver lists). The 

stored data uses a very small portion of the total hard disk capacity, 

approximately 10MB or less per year.

■

This information is used to identify and provide a notification of system 

conditions which may effect the performance of your computer. It may 

also be used to help diagnose problems should the computer require 

service by TOSHIBA or TOSHIBA's authorized service providers. 

Additionally, TOSHIBA may also use this information for quality 

assurance analysis. Subject to the use restrictions above , the HDD 

data logged may be transferred to entities located outside of your 

country or region of residence (e.g., European Union). Those countries 

may or may not have the same data protection laws or data protection 

levels as required by your home country or region.

■

Once enabled, you may disable the TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor at any 

time by uninstalling the software via Uninstall a program in the 

Control Panel. Doing so will automatically delete all collected 

information from the HDD.

■

The TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor software does not extend or modify 

TOSHIBA's obligations under its standard limited warranty in any way.
