Chapter 1
Getting Started
This chapter provides tips for using your device effectively, summarizes how to connect components, and explains what to do the first time you use your device.
Please read the safety instruction information on the Quick
Start document (that shipped with your device) carefully and make sure you fully understand the instructions before you attempt to use your device in order to avoid potential hazards that could cause bodily injury, property damage, or damage the device.
Selecting a place to work
Your device is portable and designed to be used in a variety of circumstances and locations.
Setting up your device
TECHNICAL NOTE: You must complete all setup steps
up to and including “Setting up your software” on page 34
before adding external or internal components to your device. These components include, but are not limited to, a mouse, keyboard, and printer.
Your device contains rechargeable main batteries that need to be charged before you can use it.

30 Getting Started
Connecting to a power source
To use external power or to charge the battery you must attach the AC adaptor. See
“Connecting to a power source” on page 30
.
NOTE Please handle your device carefully to avoid scratching or damaging the surface.
Connecting to a power source
Your device requires power to operate. Use the power cord/cable and AC adaptor to connect the device to a live electrical outlet, or to charge the device’s battery.
Never pull on a power cord/cable to remove a plug from a socket. Always grasp the plug directly. Failure to follow this instruction may damage the cord/cable, and/or result in a fire or electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.
Always confirm that the power plug (and extension cable plug if used) has been fully inserted into the socket, to ensure a secure electrical connection. Failure to do so may result in a fire or electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.
Be careful if you use a multiple connector. An overload on one socket could cause a fire or electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.
Always use the TOSHIBA AC adaptor that was provided with your 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.

Charging the main batteries
3 Connect the power cord/cable to a live electrical outlet.
The AC power light on the indicator panel glows white.
Never attempt to connect or disconnect a power plug with wet hands. Failure to follow this instruction could result in an electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.
NOTE
The indicator light for the device’s main batteries gives you an indication of their current charge:
❖
Glows amber while the main batteries are charging
(AC adaptor connected)
❖
Glows white when the main batteries are fully charged
❖
Is unlit when the main batteries have discharged, the batteries are not charging, or the AC adaptor is not plugged into the device or AC outlet
❖
Flashes amber when the charge of the main batteries is low and it is time to recharge the main batteries or plug in the AC adaptor
If the AC power light flashes amber during charging, either one or both of the main batteries is malfunctioning, or they are not receiving correct input from the AC power supply.
Charging the main batteries
NOTE The device batteries are not accessible by the user.
Before using the battery to power the device, you must charge the battery.
To charge the battery, leave the device plugged into an AC power source with the device turned off until the battery light glows white. After that, the battery will be completely charged and ready to power the device.
NOTE Battery life and charge time may vary depending on the applications power management settings, and features used.
Getting Started
Using the device for the first time

Using the device for the first time
The device is now ready for you to turn it on and begin using
it, see “Exploring Your Device’s Features” on page 80
.
NOTE When opening or closing the display panel/tablet, place one hand on the palm rest to hold the device in place and use the other hand to slowly open or close the display panel/tablet.
To avoid damaging the display panel/tablet when opening it, do not force it beyond the point where it moves easily and never lift the device by the display panel/tablet, when it is attached to the keyboard.
Do not press or push on the display panel/tablet and be careful to remove any pens or other objects from the keyboard area before closing the display panel/tablet.
Small bright dots may appear on your screen display when you turn on your device. Your display contains an extremely large number of thin-film transistors (TFT) and is manufactured using high-precision technology. Any small bright dots that may appear on your display are an intrinsic characteristic of the TFT manufacturing technology. Over a period of time, and depending on the usage of the device, the brightness of the screen will deteriorate. This is also an intrinsic characteristic of the screen technology. When the device is operated on battery power, the screen will dim and you may not be able to increase the brightness of the screen while on battery power.
Initial setup
The Windows 8 Startup screen is the first screen displayed when you turn on your device for the first time. Follow the on-screen instructions on each screen in order to properly install the operating system and begin using your device.

However, it is strongly recommended that you create recovery media. If the recovery files on your internal storage drive become corrupted or are deleted, you can restore your system from your recovery media. Also, if your original internal storage drive fails, you can restore your system to a new internal storage drive from your recovery media. It is strongly recommended that you create recovery media before using your system for the first time. See
“Creating recovery media” on page 39
and
“Restoring from recovery media” on page 41
.
NOTE ❖ During the recovery process your device must be connected to an external power source via the AC adaptor.
❖
When you restore your system, only the operating system files, applications, and drivers originally shipped with the device are restored. Any files that you created are not restored during this process. Be sure to separately save the files you have created to external media using Windows ® or another backup
program. For more information, see “Backing up your work” on page 65 .

Adjusting touch pad settings
While you are typing, the on-screen pointer may seem to move or jump around “by itself” to random locations on the screen. The on-screen pointer may also seem to automatically select text, click buttons, and activate other user interface elements. For help with these problems, try one or more of the following:
❖
Try adjusting your typing technique to avoid accidental contact with the touch pad. You may be inadvertently brushing the touch pad with the heel of your hand as you type. Also, accidental light touches or taps on the touch pad may select an item or text on the screen, and potentially the item or text may be replaced by the next character you type.
❖ Temporarily disable the touch pad, so that it does not respond to touch or button presses while you type. See
“Disabling or enabling the touch pad” on page 51
.
❖
Adjust the sensitivity of the touch pad, so that it is less responsive to accidental light taps and lighter finger pressure.
NOTE Touch pad setting options vary by device model. The touch pad settings are accessible through the Mouse
Properties option of the Windows Control Panel. For more information, please visit support.toshiba.com
