Removing a disc with the computer on
To remove a disc (CD or DVD) with the computer turned on:
1
Press the eject button on the drive.
Do not press the eject button while the in-use indicator light is 
glowing. Doing so could damage the disc or the drive.
Also, if the disc is still spinning when you open the disc tray, wait for 
it to stop spinning before you remove it.

Pull the tray out until it is fully open, remove the disc, and 
place it in its protective cover.

Gently press the tray in to close it.
Removing a disc with the computer off
To remove a disc with the computer turned off:
1
Insert a slender object, such as a straightened paper clip, into 
the manual eject hole. 
The disc tray slides partially out of the drive (about 1 inch).
Never use a pencil to press the manual eject button. Pencil lead can 
break off inside the computer and damage it.

Pull the tray out until it is fully open, remove the disc, and 
place it in its protective cover.

Gently press the tray in to close it.
Moving the computer
Before moving your computer, even across the room, make sure all 
disk activity has ended (the drive indicator light stops glowing) and 
all external peripheral cables are disconnected.
Do not pick up the computer by its display panel or by the back. 
Doing so could damage the system.

Running the computer on battery power
Battery life may vary considerably from specifications depending 
on product model, configuration, applications, power management 
settings and features utilized, as well as the natural performance 
variations produced by the design of individual components. 
Published battery life numbers are achieved on select models and 
configurations tested by Toshiba at the time of publication. 
Recharge time varies depending on usage. Battery may not charge 
while the computer is consuming full power.
