TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor

The TOSHIBA PC 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 usage 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). The stored data uses a very small portion of the total hard disk 

capacity, approximately 3MB or less per year.

■

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

conditions which may effect the performance of your Toshiba 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. 

Toshiba's standard limited warranty terms and limitations apply.
