General Precautions
TOSHIBA computers are 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 
computer.
Equipment connected to the protective earthing of the building installation 
through the mains connection or through other equipment with a 
connection to protective earthing and to a cable distribution system using 
coaxial cable, may in some circumstances create a fire hazard. Connection 
to a cable distribution system has therefore to be provided through a device 
providing electrical isolation below a certain frequency range (galvanic 
isolator, see EN 60728-11).
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 anelectric blanket or heater.
Never cover or block the air vents including those located at the 
base of the computer.
Always operate your computer on a hard flat surface. Using your 
computer on a carpet or other soft material can block the vents.
Always provide sufficient space around the computer. 
Overheating your computer or AC adaptor could cause system failure, 
computer or AC adaptor damage or a fire, possibly resulting in serious 
injury.
