However, certain precautions should be observed to further reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the computer. Be certain to read the general precautions below and to note the cautions included in the text of the manual. Stress injury Carefully read the Safety Instruction Manual. It contains information on prevention of stress injuries to your hands and wrists than can be caused by extensive keyboard use. Chapter 3, Getting Started, also includes information on workspace design, posture and lighting that can help reduce physical stress. Heat injury ■ Avoid prolonged physical contact with the computer. If the computer is used for long periods, its surface can become very warm. While the temperature will not feel hot to the touch, if you maintain physical contact with the computer for a long time (if you rest the computer on your lap, or if you keep your hands on the palm rest, for example) your skin might suffer low-heat injury. ■ If the computer has been used for a long time, avoid direct contact with the metal plate supporting the I/O ports. It can become hot. ■ The surface of the AC adaptor can become hot when in use. This condition does not indicate a malfunction. If you need to transport the AC adaptor, disconnect it and let it cool before moving it. ■ Do not lay the AC adaptor on a material that is sensitive to heat. The material could be damaged. Pressure or impact damage Do not apply heavy pressure to the computer or subject it to strong impact. Excessive pressure or impact can cause damage to computer components or otherwise cause malfunctions. PC card overheating Some PC cards can become hot with prolonged use. Overheating of a PC card can result in errors or instability in the PC card operation. Also be careful when you remove a PC card that has been used for a long time. Mobile phones Use of mobile phones can interfere with the audio system. Computer operation is not impaired but is recommended that a distance of 30cm be maintained between the computer and a mo-bile phone in use. TECRA M2 v

General Precautions
TOSHIBA computers are designed to optimize safety, minimize strain and
withstand the rigors of portability. However, certain precautions should be
observed to further reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the
computer.
Be certain to read the general precautions below and to note the cautions
included in the text of the manual.
Stress injury
Carefully read the
Safety Instruction Manual
. It contains information on
prevention of stress injuries to your hands and wrists than can be caused
by extensive keyboard use. Chapter 3,
Getting Started
, also includes
information on workspace design, posture and lighting that can help reduce
physical stress.
Heat injury
■
Avoid prolonged physical contact with the computer. If the computer is
used for long periods, its surface can become very warm. While the
temperature will not feel hot to the touch, if you maintain physical contact
with the computer for a long time (if you rest the computer on your lap,
or if you keep your hands on the palm rest, for example) your skin might
suffer low-heat injury.
■
If the computer has been used for a long time, avoid direct contact with
the metal plate supporting the I/O ports. It can become hot.
■
The surface of the AC adaptor can become hot when in use. This
condition does not indicate a malfunction. If you need to transport the
AC adaptor, disconnect it and let it cool before moving it.
■
Do not lay the AC adaptor on a material that is sensitive to heat. The
material could be damaged.
Pressure or impact damage
Do not apply heavy pressure to the computer or subject it to strong impact.
Excessive pressure or impact can cause damage to computer components
or otherwise cause malfunctions.
PC card overheating
Some PC cards can become hot with prolonged use. Overheating of a PC
card can result in errors or instability in the PC card operation. Also be careful
when you remove a PC card that has been used for a long time.
Mobile phones
Use of mobile phones can interfere with the audio system. Computer
operation is not impaired but is recommended that a distance of 30cm be
maintained between the computer and a mo-bile phone in use.
