Under some conditions, your computer product may automatically shutdown. 
This is a normal protective feature designed to reduce the risk of lost data or 
damage to the product when used outside recommended conditions. To avoid 
risk of lost data, always make back-up copies of data by periodically storing it 
on an external storage medium. For optimum performance, use your computer 
product only under recommended conditions. Read additional restrictions in your 
product documentation. Contact TOSHIBA technical service and support, refer to 
 section in Chapter 9, 
64-Bit Computing.
64-bit processors are designed to take advantage of 32 and 64 bit computing.
64-bit computing requires that the following hardware and software requirements 
are met:
n
64-bit Operating System
n
64-bit CPU, Chipset and BIOS (Basic Input/Output System)
n
64-bit Device drivers
n
64-bit applications
Certain device drivers and/or applications may not be compatible with a 64- bit 
CPU and therefore may not function properly. A 32-bit version of the operating 
system is preinstalled on your computer unless explicitly stated that the operating 
system is 64-bit.
Memory (Main System)
Part of the main system memory may be used by the graphics system for graphics 
performance and therefore reduce the amount of main system memory available 
for other computing activities. The amount of main system memory allocated 
to support graphics may vary depending on the graphics system, applications 
utilized, system memory size and other factors. For computer’s configured with 4 
GB of system memory, the full system memory space for computing activities will 
be considerably less and will vary by model and system configuration.
Battery Life
Battery life may vary considerably 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 computer is consuming full power.
After going through many charge and discharge cycles, the battery will lose its 
ability to perform at maximum capacity and will need to be replaced. This is a 
normal phenomenon for all batteries. To purchase a new battery pack, see the 
accessories information that is shipped with your computer.
