Please read the following safety and operating instructions before using your
Product. Keep the information near your Product for future reference.
To reduce the risk of fire, bodily injury and/or damage to your Product, please
observe all of the following instructions:
AC Adaptor
Always use the Toshiba AC adaptor that was provided with your Product or as
specified by Toshiba.
Base or Palm Rest
Avoid extended contact between Product base or palm rest and your skin. Under

and/or heat injury. Consider using a hard computer insulating pad or similarly
suitable hard insulating material when using Product on your lap.
