General Precautions
TOSHIBA computers are designed to optimize safety, minimize strain and
withstand the rigors of portability. However, certain precautions should be
observed to further reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the
computer.
Be certain to read the general precautions below and to note the cautions
included in the text of the manual.
Creating a computer-friendly environment
Place the computer on a flat surface that is large enough for the computer
and any other items you are using, such as a printer.
Leave enough space around the computer and other equipment to provide
adequate ventilation. Otherwise, they may overheat.
To keep your computer in prime operating condition, protect your work area
from:
■Dust, moisture, and direct sunlight.
■Equipment that generates a strong electromagnetic field, such as
stereo speakers (other than speakers that are connected to the
computer) or speakerphones.
■Rapid changes in temperature or humidity and sources of temperature
change such as air conditioner vents or heaters.
■Extreme heat, cold, or humidity.
■Liquids and corrosive chemicals.
Stress injury
Carefully read the Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort. It contains
information on the prevention of stress injuries to your hands and wrists
that can be caused by extensive keyboard use. Instruction Manual for
Safety and Comfort also includes information on work space design,
posture and lighting that can help reduce physical stress.
xiv User’s Manual
TECRA A9, TECRA S5, Satellite Pro S200, Satellite Pro A150
Heat injury
■Avoid prolonged physical contact with the computer. If the computer 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 computer for a long time, for example if you rest the
computer on your lap or if you keep your hands on the palm rest, your
skin might suffer a low-heat injury.
■If the computer 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.
Pressure or impact damage
Do not apply heavy pressure to the computer or subject it to any form of
strong impact as this can damage the computer’s components or otherwise
cause it to malfunction.
PC Card overheating
Some PC Cards can become hot during prolonged use which may result in
errors or instability in the operation of the device in question. In addition,
you should also be careful when you remove a PC Card that has been
used for a long time.
Mobile phones
Please be aware that the use of mobile phones can interfere with the audio
system. The operation of the computer will not be impaired in any way, but
it is recommended that a minimum distance of 30cm is maintained between
the computer and a mobile phone that is in use.
Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort
All important information on the safe and proper use of this computer is
described in the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort. Be
sure to read it before using the computer.

Getting Started
This section provides basic information to start using your computer.
It covers the following topics:
■Connecting the AC adaptor
■Opening the display
■Turning on the power
■Starting up for the first time
■Turning off the power
■Restarting the computer
■System Recovery Options
■Creating Optical Recovery Discs
■Restoring the pre-installed software from the Recovery hard disk drive

■Be sure to read the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort
for information on the safe and proper use of this computer. It is
intended to help you be more comfortable and productive while using a
notebook computer. 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.
■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 the internal hard disk drive or
other 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.
■Before you install a device or application, save any data in memory to
the hard disk drive or other storage media. Failure to do so may result
in the loss of data.
1-4 User’s Manual
TECRA A9, TECRA S5, Satellite Pro S200, Satellite Pro A150
Connecting the AC adaptor
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.
The AC adaptor can be connected to any power source supplying from 100
to 240 volts and 50 or 60 hertz. For details on using the AC adaptor to
charge the battery pack, refer to Chapter 6, Power and Power-Up Modes.
■Always use the TOSHIBA AC adaptor that was provided with your PC
and the TOSHIBA Battery Charger (that may have been provided with
your PC), or use TOSHIBA recommended alternate models to avoid
any risk of fire or other damage to the PC. Use of an incompatible AC
adaptor or Battery Charger could cause fire or damage to the PC
possibly resulting in serious injury.
■Never plug the AC adaptor or Battery Charger into a power source that
does not correspond to both the voltage and the frequency specified on
the regulatory label of the unit. Failure to do so could result in a fire or
electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.
■Always use or purchase power cables that comply with the legal
voltage and frequency specifications and requirements in the country of
use. Failure to do so could result in a fire or electric shock, possibly
resulting in serious injury.
■The supplied power cord conforms to safety rules and regulations in
the region the product is bought and should not be used outside this
region. For use in other regions, please buy power cords that conform
to safety rules and regulations in the particular region.
■Do not use a 3-pin to 2-pin conversion plug.
■When you connect the AC adaptor 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 adaptor 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.
■Never place your computer or AC adaptor on a wooden surface,
furniture, or any other surface that could be marred by exposure to heat
since the computer base and AC adaptor’s surface increase in
temperature during normal use.
■Always place your computer or AC adaptor on a flat and hard surface
that is resistant to heat damage.
Refer to the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort for
detailed precautions and handling instructions.

Observe the following before you place your finger on the sensor whether
for fingerprint enrollment/registration or recognition.
■Wash and dry your hands thoroughly.
■Remove static electricity from your fingers by touching any metal
surface. Static electricity is a common cause of sensor failures,
especially when the weather is dry.
■Clean the sensor with a lint-free cloth - do not use detergent or any
other chemicals to clean the sensor.
■Avoid the following finger conditions for enrollment or recognition as
they may result in fingerprint enrollment errors or a drop in the
fingerprint recognition success rate
■Soaked or swollen finger, for example as may occur after taking a
bath.
■Injured finger
■Wet finger
■Soiled or oily finger
■Extremely dry skin condition on finger
Observe the following to improve the fingerprint recognition success rate.
■Enroll two or more fingers.
■Enroll additional fingers if a recognition failure often occurs when using
already enrolled fingers.
■Check the condition of your finger - any conditions which have changed
since enrollment, such as injury, rough skin, and extremely dry, wet,
soiled, dirty, oily, soaked or swollen fingers, may lower the recognition
success rate. Also if the fingerprint is worn down or the finger becomes
thinner or fatter, the recognition success rate may be lowered.
■As the fingerprint for each finger is different and unique you should
ensure that only the registered or enrolled fingerprint or fingerprints are
used for identification.
■Check the position and speed at which you swipe your finger across the
sensor - please refer to the preceding drawing.
■The fingerprint sensor compares and analyzes the unique
characteristics in a fingerprint. However, there may be instances where
certain users are unable to register their fingerprints due to insufficient
unique characteristics in their fingerprints.
■The recognition success rate may differ from user to user.

Floppy diskettes
1. Store your floppy diskettes in the container they came in to protect them
and keep them clean. If a floppy diskette becomes dirty, clean it with a
soft, lightly dampened cloth - do not use cleaning fluid.
2. Never open the shutter or touch the magnetic surface of your floppy
diskette - doing this could permanently damage it and lose data.
3. Always handle floppy diskettes with care to prevent the loss of stored
data.
4. Always apply the floppy diskette label in the correct location and never
apply a new label on top of an existing one - in this instance the label
could come loose and damage the floppy diskette drive.
5. Never use a pencil for writing on a floppy diskette label as the dust from
the pencil lead could cause a system malfunction if it found its way onto
the computer’s components. In this instance, always use a felt-tipped
pen and write the label first before applying it to the floppy diskette.
6. Never put a floppy diskette in a location where water or other liquid may
make contact with it, or where it is excessively damp - either of these
conditions could cause data loss.
7. Never use a wet or damp floppy diskette - this could damage the floppy
diskette drive or other devices within the computer.
8. Data may be lost if the floppy diskette is twisted, bent, or exposed to
direct sunlight, extreme heat or cold.
9. Do not place heavy objects on your floppy diskettes.
10. Do not eat, smoke, or use items such as erasers near your floppy
diskettes as foreign particles inside the jacket of the floppy diskette can
damage the magnetic surface.
11. Magnetic energy can destroy the data on your floppy diskettes. In view
of this you should keep your floppy diskettes away from speakers,
radios, televisions and other sources of magnetic fields.
The USB floppy diskette drive is available only as an option.
