Safety and Comfort also includes information on work space design, posture and lighting that can help reduce physical stress.

Heat injury

■ Avoid prolonged physical contact with the device. If the device 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 device for a long time, for example if you rest the device on your lap or if you keep your hands on the palm rest, your skin might suffer a low-heat injury.

■

If the device has been used for a long time, avoid direct contact with the metal plate supporting the various interface ports as this can become hot.

■ The surface of the AC adaptor can become hot when in use but this condition does not indicate a malfunction. If you need to transport the

AC adaptor, you should disconnect it and let it cool before moving it.

■

Do not lay the AC adaptor on a material that is sensitive to heat as the material could become damaged.

Getting Started & Grand Tour

Getting Started

■

All users should be sure to read the section

Initial Setup

.

■

Be sure to read the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and

Comfort for information on the safe and proper use of this device. It is

intended to help you be more comfortable and productive while using this device. By following the recommendations in it you may reduce your chance of developing a painful or disabling injury to your hand, arms, shoulders or neck.

This section provides basic information to start using your device. It covers the following topics:

■ Turning on the power

■

Initial Setup

■ Device options menu

■

Turning off the power

■

Use a virus-check program and make sure it is updated regularly.

■

Never format storage media without checking its content - formatting destroys all stored data.

■

It is a good idea to periodically back up main storage device to external media. General storage media is not durable or stable over long periods of time and under certain conditions may result in data loss.

Connecting the AC adaptor

The AC adaptor can automatically adjust to any voltage ranging from 100 to

240 volts and to a frequency of either 50 or 60 hertz, enabling you to use this device in almost all country/region. The adaptor converts AC power to

DC power and reduces the voltage supplied to this device.

Figure 1-1 The AC adaptor (2-pin plug)

User’s Manual 1-2

User’s Manual


Figure 1-2 The AC adaptor (3-pin plug)

■

Depending on the model, either a 2-pin or 3-pin adaptor/power lead will be bundled with the device.

■

Do not use a 3-pin to 2-pin conversion plug.

■

The supplied power cord conforms to safety rules and regulations in the region the product is bought and should not be used outside of this region. In order to use the adaptor/device in other regions, you should please buy a power cord that conforms to the safety rules and regulations in that particular region.

Attach the AC adaptor when you need to charge the battery or you want to operate from AC power. It is also the fastest way to get started, because the battery pack will need to be charged before you can operate from battery power.

■

Always use the TOSHIBA AC adaptor that was included with your

TOSHIBA AC100 device, or use AC adaptors specified by TOSHIBA to avoid any risk of fire or other damage to the device. Use of an incompatible AC adaptor could cause fire or damage to the device possibly resulting in serious injury. TOSHIBA assumes no liability for any damage caused by use of an incompatible adaptor.

■

Connecting to networks

Your device can connect to a variety of networks and devices, mobile networks for voice and data transmission, Wi-Fi data networks and

Bluetooth devices, such as headsets. This chapter will describe how to connect to different networks.

Connecting to mobile networks

This section only applies to models with 3G modules.

When you assemble your device with a SIM card from your wireless service provider, your device is configured to use your provider’s mobile networks for transmitting data.

Your device is configured to work with many mobile carriers’ networks. If your device does not connect to a network when you insert a SIM card and turn it on, contact your carrier to obtain the details of its access point name.

Different locations may have different mobile networks available. Initially, your device is configured to use the fastest mobile network available for data. You can also configure your device to access a different set of networks entirely, or to behave in special ways when roaming.

The icons in the Status bar indicate which kind of data network you’re connected to and the voice and data network signal strength.

Connected to the fastest 3G networks (UMTS or HSDPA)

Connected to the second-fastest network (EDGE)

Connected to a 2G network (GPRS)

User’s Manual 3-1

Disabling data when roaming


2. Click Wireless & networks -> Mobile networks, and uncheck Data

roaming.

With Data roaming unchecked, you can still transmit data with a Wi-Fi connection.

Editing or creating a new access point

If you and your wireless service provider determine that you need to change the settings of your current access point name (APN) or to create a new one, you must obtain the APN and detailed settings from your provider.


2. Click Wireless & networks -> Mobile networks -> Access Point

Names.

3. Click an existing APN to edit it, or press the Menu key and click New

APN to create a new one.

4. When you are finished, press the Menu key and then click Save.

If you have created a new APN, click it in the APNs screen to start using it.

Connecting to Wi-Fi networks

Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that can provide Internet access at distances of up to 100 meters, depending on the Wi-Fi router and your surroundings.

To use Wi-Fi on your device, you need to access a wireless access point, or “hotspot”. Some access points are open and you can simply connect to them. Others are hidden or implement other security features, so you must configure your device so it can connect to them.

User’s Manual 3-2


There are numerous systems for securing Wi-Fi connections, including some that rely on secure certificates or other schemes to ensure that only authorized users can connect.

Turn off Wi-Fi when you are not using it to extend the life of your battery.

The Status bar displays icons that indicate Wi-Fi status.

Connected to a Wi-Fi network (waves indicate connection strength)

You may turn on and connect to a Wi-Fi network by following steps:


2. Click Wireless & networks -> Wi-Fi settings.

3. Click Wi-Fi to turn it on.

The device scans for available Wi-Fi networks and displays the names of those it finds. Secured networks are indicated with a Lock icon.

If the device finds a network that you connected to previously, it will connect to it automatically.

4. Click a network to connect it.

If the network is open, you are prompted to confirm that you want to connect to that network by clicking Connect.

If the network is secured, you’re prompted to enter a password or other credentials. (Ask your network administrator for details.)

Wi-Fi settings screen for details about the speed, security, address, and related settings.

Connecting to a Wi-Fi network through WPS

If the network you want to connect is secured, you can also connect to it through WPS instead of entering a network name (SSID) and wireless security manually.

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a standard for easy and secure setup of a wireless home network. It enables you to establish a wireless network connection by pushing the WPS buttons (either physical or virtual) on both the access point and the new wireless client device.

To connect to a Wi-Fi network through WPS:

1. Click WPS in the Wireless & network settings.

2. Push the WPS button on the access point.

1. Turn on Wi-Fi if it is not already on.

2. In the Wi-Fi settings screen, check Network notification.

You can uncheck this option to stop receiving notifications.

Adding a Wi-Fi network

You can add a Wi-Fi network so the device will remember it, along with any security credentials, and connect to it automatically when it is in range. You must also add a Wi-Fi network to connect to it, if it does not broadcast its name (SSID), or to add a Wi- Fi network when you are out of range.

To join a secured network, you need to contact the network’s administrator to learn what security scheme is deployed on it and to obtain the password or other required security credentials.

1. Turn on Wi-Fi if it is not already on.

2. In the Wi-Fi settings screen, check Add Wi-Fi network.

3. Enter the SSID (name) of the network. If the network is secured, click the Security menu and then click the type of security deployed on the network.

4. Enter any required security credentials.

5. Click Save.

The device will connect to the wireless network. Any credentials that you enter will be saved, so you can connect automatically the next time you come within range of this network.

Forgetting a Wi-Fi network

You can make your device forget about the details of a Wi-Fi network that you added. For example, if you don’t want the device to connect to it automatically or if it is a network that you no longer use.

1. Turn on Wi-Fi if it’s not already on.

2. In the Wi-Fi settings screen, click and hold the name of the connected network.

3. Click Forget network in the dialog that opens.

Chapter 7

Troubleshooting

TOSHIBA have designed this device for durability, however, should problems occur you are able to use the procedures detailed in this chapter to help determine the cause.

All users should become familiar with this chapter as knowing what might go wrong can help prevent problems from occurring in the first place.

Problem solving process

Resolving problems will be much easier if you observe the following guidelines:

■

Stop immediately when you recognize a problem exists as taking further action may result in data loss or damage, or you may destroy valuable problem related information that can help solve the problem.

■ Observe what is happening - write down what the system is doing and what actions you performed immediately before the problem occurred.

Please also be aware that the questions and procedures described in this chapter are meant only as a guide, they are not definitive problem solving techniques. In reality many problems can be solved simply, but a few may require help from your reseller, dealer or service provider - if you find you need to consult others, be prepared to describe the problem in as much detail as possible.

Preliminary checklist

You should always consider the simplest solution first - the items detailed in this checklist are easy to fix and yet can cause what appears to be a serious problem:

■ Make sure you turn on all peripheral devices before you turn on the device - this includes any other external device you are using.

User’s Manual 7-1

Troubleshooting

■

Before you attach an external device you should first turn the device off, then when you turn the device back on again it will recognize the new device.

■ Make sure all optional accessories are configured properly in the device's setup program and that all required driver software has been loaded (please refer to the documentation included with the optional accessories for further information on its installation and configuration).

■

Check all cables to ensure they are correctly and firmly attached to the device - loose cables can cause signal errors.

■ Inspect all connecting cables for loose wires and all connectors for loose pins.

Always try to make detailed notes of your observations and keep them in a permanent error log - this will help you to describe your problems to your reseller, dealer or service provider. In addition, if a problem recurs, the log you have made will help to identify the problem faster.

Analyzing the problem

Sometimes the device will give you clues that can help you identify why it is malfunctioning. In view of this you should keep the following questions in mind:

■ Which part of the device is not operating properly - keyboard, display panel, touch pad, touch pad control buttons - as each device will produce different symptoms.

■

Check the options within the operating system to ensure that its configuration is set properly.

■ What appears on the display? Does it display any messages or random characters? If possible, look up the messages in the documentation included with the device, software or operating system.

■

Check that all connecting cables are correctly and firmly attached as loose cables can cause erroneous or intermittent signals.

■ Do any indicators light, if so, which ones, what color are they and do they stay on or blink? Write down what you see.

■

Do you hear any beeps, if so how many, are they long or short and are they high pitched or low pitched? In addition, is the device making any unusual noises? Write down what you hear.

Record your observations so you can describe them in detail to your reseller, dealer or service provider.

If you suspect a problem with the battery, you should check the status of the DC IN indicator as well as the Battery indicator.


Battery doesn’t power the device

The battery may be discharged - connect the AC adaptor to recharge the battery.

Battery doesn’t charge when the AC adaptor is attached (Battery indicator does not glow amber).

If the battery is completely discharged, it will not begin charging immediately, in these instances you should wait a few minutes before trying again.

If the battery still does not charge, you should check that the power outlet the AC adaptor is connected to is supplying power - this can be tested by plugging another appliance into it.

Battery doesn’t power the device as long as expected

Check whether the battery is hot or cold to the touch - if so, it will not charge properly and should be allowed to reach room temperature before you try again.

Unplug the AC adaptor and remove the battery to make sure its connecting terminals are clean - if necessary wipe them with a soft dry cloth lightly dipped in alcohol.

Connect the AC adaptor and replace the battery, taking care to ensure that it is securely seated in the device.

Check the Battery indicator - if it does not glow, allow the device to charge the battery for at least twenty minutes. If the Battery indicator starts to glow after this period, allow the battery to continue to charge for at least another twenty minutes before turning on the device. However, if the indicator still does not glow, the battery may be at the end of its operating life and should be replaced. However, if you do not believe the battery is at the end of its operating life, you should speak to your reseller, dealer or service provider.

If you frequently recharge a partially charged battery, the battery might not charge to its full potential - in these instances you should fully discharge the battery and then attempt to charge it again.

Wireless LAN

Radio Characteristics

Radio Characteristics of Wireless LAN module may vary according to:

■

Country/region where the product was purchased

■ Type of product

Wireless communication is often subject to local radio regulations.

Although Wireless LAN wireless networking products have been designed for operation in the license-free 2.4GHz and 5GHz band, local radio regulations may impose a number of limitations to the use of wireless communication equipment.

Refer to the printed manual for regulatory information that may apply in your country/region.

Radio

Frequency

■

Band 5GHz (5150-5850 MHz) (Revision a and n)

■

Band 2.4GHz (2400-2483.5 MHz) (Revision b/g and n)

The range of the wireless signal is related to the transmit rate of the wireless communication. Communications at lower transmit range may travel larger distances.

■

The range of your wireless devices can be affected when the antennas are placed near metal surfaces and solid high-density materials.

■

Range is also impacted due to "obstacles" in the signal path of the radio that may either absorb or reflect the radio signal.

User’s Manual B-2

Wireless LAN

Supported Frequency Sub-bands

Subject to the radio regulations that apply in the countries/regions, your

Wireless LAN module may support a different set of 5 GHz/2.4 GHz channels. Consult your Authorized Wireless LAN or TOSHIBA Sales office for information about the radio regulations that apply in the countries/regions.
