The “USB Sleep and Charge function” only works for compatible 
ports.
When “USB Sleep and Charge function” is Enabled, USB bus 
power (DC 5V) will be supplied to compatible ports even when 
the power of the computer is turned OFF.
USB bus power (DC 5V) is similarly supplied to the external 
devices which are connected to the compatible ports. However, 
some external devices cannot be charged solely by supplying 
USB bus power (DC 5V). As for the specifications of the external 
devices, please contact the device manufacturer or check the 
specifications of the external devices thoroughly before use.
Using the “USB Sleep and Charge function” to charge external 
devices will take longer than charging the devices with their own 
chargers.
If external devices are connected to compatible ports when the 
AC adaptor is not connected to the computer, the battery of the 
computer will be depleted even when the power of the computer 
is turned OFF. 
As such, we recommend that you connect the AC adaptor to the 
computer when using the “USB Sleep and Charge function.”
External devices connected to the USB bus power (DC 5V) 
function that interfaces with the power ON/OFF of the computer 
may always be in an operational state.
When there is a current overflow of the external devices 
connected to the compatible ports, USB bus power (DC5V) 
supply may be stopped for safety reasons.
Metal paper clips or hair pins/clips will generate heat if they come 
into contact with USB ports. Do not allow USB ports to come into 
contact with metal products, for example when carrying the computer 
in your bag.
USB Sleep and Charge function Settings—The default 
setting is Disabled. Changing the setting to Enabled enables 
the use of this function. To change the setting, launch 
TOSHIBA Hardware Setup and click on the USB tab. There 
are two modes, Mode-1 and Mode-2 in Enabled. For normal 
use, set the setting to Mode-1. 
If the function does not work with Mode-1 setting, change it to 
Mode-2. Some external devices may not be able to use this
