Utilities

PC Health Monitor

The PC Health Monitor software program monitors device

system functions such as power consumption, the cooling

system and the 3D Accelerometer (available on certain

models). It alerts users to specific system conditions via

pop-up messages. It also tracks the usage of the device and

related devices and logs service-relevant information on the

device's internal storage drive.

The collected information includes device operation time

and number of actuations or status changes (e.g.: number of

power button and Fn key combination uses, and AC adaptor,

battery, LCD, fan, HDD, sound volume, wireless

communication switch, docking and USB information), date

of initial system use, and also computer and device usage

(e.g.: power settings, battery temperature and recharging,

CPU, memory, and temperatures for various devices). The

collected information is not limited to the examples specified

here. The stored data uses a very small portion of the total

hard disk capacity (approximately 3 MB or less per year).

This information is used to identify and provide a notification

of system conditions that may affect the performance of

your TOSHIBA device. It may also be used to help diagnose

problems should the device require service by TOSHIBA or

TOSHIBA's authorized service providers. Additionally,

TOSHIBA may use this information for quality assurance

analysis.

Subject to the use restrictions above, the data logged on the

internal storage drive 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.

You may disable the PC Health Monitor at any time by

uninstalling the software via the Windows

Control Panel.

Doing so will automatically delete all collected information

from the internal storage drive.

The 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.
