AC Adaptor
Always use the Toshiba AC adaptor that was provided with your device or as specified
by Toshiba and use correct power source specified on the regulatory label of device or
adaptor. Always ensure a secure electrical connection. Be careful if you use a multiple
connector to avoid current overload on one socket.
Battery Pack

aerosol cleaners. The injected combustible gas produced by these types of cleaners
may remain inside of your product. The electrostatic spark from the motor or contact
point of switch may ignite the gas residue, which could result in an explosion, fire, or
burn injury. Instead use a lightly dampened cloth for cleaning in general and remove
dust with a dry cloth.
Hot Surfaces
Allow the equipment’s internal components and hot-pluggable drives to cool before
touching them
Power Cables/Cords and Power Source
Always use power cables/cords and power sources that comply with the voltage and
frequency specifications and requirements of the country of use.
Service Provider

service provider if:
• AC adaptor or power cable/cord is damaged.
