Computer

This information applies to your Toshiba computer and should be noted when operating the specific functions described below:

Connecting the AC adapter

CAUTION: Use only the AC adapter supplied with your computer or an equivalent adapter that is compatible. Use of any incompatible adapter could damage your computer. Toshiba assumes no liability for any damage caused by use of an incompatible adapter.

When you connect the AC adapter to the computer, always follow the steps in the exact order as described in the User's Manual. Connecting the power cable to a live electrical outlet should be the last step otherwise the adapter DC output plug could hold an electrical charge and cause an electrical shock or minor bodily injury when touched. As a general safety precaution, avoid touching any metal parts.

Security

Toshiba recommends that the customer enable the WEP

(encryption) function. Otherwise, unwanted access to your computer through a wireless LAN connection can allow for intrusion of, and/or loss or destruction of data.

Toshiba is not liable for the loss or manipulation of data due to the use of wireless LAN and the damage thereof.

SD Cards

You can use an SD card memory module; however,

Toshiba does not guarantee that all SD card memory modules available will properly function with the Portégé

3500/3505.

The slot cannot accommodate MultiMedia cards or other

SD I/O cards.

Do not remove an SD card while read/write is in progress.

Removing a Compact Flash module

CAUTION: Remove the Compact Flash module only after confirming that the computer is not accessing the Compact Flash card. If you remove the Compact Flash card, or turn off the power while the computer is accessing the card, you may lose data or damage the card.

Tablet mode

When in tablet mode, you may enter your password by tapping the on-screen keyboard using the tablet pen, instead of using the computer keyboard.

A beep sounds for each entry on the on-screen keyboard, and an asterisk is displayed for every character entered.

Press the Enter [Ent] key on the on-screen keyboard after entering the password.

NOTE: If you enter the password incorrectly three times in a row, the computer shuts off. In this case, you must turn the computer back on to retry password entry.

Real time clock battery

If the RTC battery completely discharges, the system loses data and the real time clock and calendar no longer function. The following message appears when you turn on the computer:

**** RTC battery is low or CMOS checksum is inconsistent ****

Press [F1] key to set Date/Time.

Symbol Commander™

When using the Microsoft Paint program with Symbol

Commander enabled, a second color can be selected but not used, because any Tablet Pen movement while holding the button is interpreted as an attempt to make a symbol.

You may experience similar limitations when using

Windows Journal.

If you wish to disable Symbol Commander, right click the Symbol Commander icon in the taskbar. To re-enable

Symbol Commander, simply right click the icon again.

Caution

Bluetooth and WirelessLAN devices operate within the same radio frequency range and may interfere with one another. If you use Bluetooth and WirelessLAN devices simultaneously, you may occasionally experience a less than optimal network performance or even lose your network connection.

If you should experience any such problem, immediately turn off either one of your Bluetooth or WirelessLAN.

For more information, please visit Toshiba’s support support site at www.pcsupport.toshiba.com.

Wireless LAN and your Health

Wireless LAN products, like other radio devices, emit radio frequency electromagnetic energy. The level of energy emitted by Wireless LAN devices however is far much less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by wireless devices, for example mobile phones.

Because Wireless LAN products operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, Toshiba believes Wireless LAN is safe for use by consumers. These standards and recommendations reflect the consensus of the scientific community and result from deliberations of panels and committees of scientists who continually review and interpret the extensive research literature.

In some situations or environments, the use of Wireless

LAN may be restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of the organization. These situations may for example include:

❖

Using the Wireless LAN equipment on board of airplanes, or

Updated Information for the Portégé® 3500/3505

Computer

❖

In any other environment where the risk of interference to other devices or services is perceived or identified as harmful.

If you are uncertain of the policy that applies on the use of wireless devices in a specific organization or environment

(e.g. airports), you are encouraged to ask for authorization to use the Wireless LAN device prior to turning on the equipment.
