General conditions

In general, if you are comfortable, so is your computer, but read the 

following to make sure your work site provides a proper environment.

■

TOSHIBA Power SaverMake sure there is adequate space around the 

computer for proper ventilation.

■

Make sure the AC power cord connects to an outlet that is close to the 

computer and easily accessible.

■

The temperature should be 5 to 30 degrees Centigrade (41 to 86 

degrees Fahrenheit) and the relative humidity should be 20 to 80

 

percent.

■

Avoid areas where rapid or extreme changes in temperature or humidity 

may occur.

sunlight.

■

Keep the computer away from heat sources, such as electric heaters.

■

Do not use the computer near liquids or corrosive chemicals.

■

Some components in the computer, including data storage media, can 

be damaged by magnets. Do not place the computer near magnetic 

objects or bring magnetic objects close to the computer. Be careful of 

objects, such as stereo speakers, that produce strong magnetic fields 

during operation. Also, be careful with metal objects, such as bracelets, 

which can be inadvertently magnetized.

■

Do not operate the computer in close proximity to a mobile phone.

■

Leave ample ventilation room for the fan. Ensure that there are no 

obstructions around any of the system inlets or exhaust vents.

Placement of computer

Position the computer and peripheral devices to provide comfort and safety.

■

Set the computer on a flat surface at a comfortable height and distance. 

The display should be no higher than eye level to avoid eye strain.

and make sure you have adequate space to easily operate other 

devices.

■

Allow adequate space behind the computer to let you freely adjust the 

display. The display should be angled to reduce glare and maximize 

visibility.

■

If you use a paper holder, set it at about the same height and distance 

as the computer.
