Be very careful about placing liquids near your notebook. If you spill a liquid that gets into the keyboard of your notebook, turn off the computer immediately.
Leave the computer turned off overnight to let it dry out before you use it again.
Never turn off your computer if a drive light indicates a drive is active. Turning off
the computer while it is reading from or writing to a disk may damage the disk, the drive, or both.
Keep the computer and disks away from objects that generate strong magnetic
fields, such as large stereo speakers. Information on disks is stored magnetically. Placing a magnet too close to a disk can erase important files.

| Cleaning your computer
|
|
|
| |
To keep your computer clean, gently wipe the display panel and exterior case with a lightly dampened cloth. Ask your Toshiba dealer for suggestions for appropriate cleaning products.
CAUTION: Keep liquid, including cleaning fluid, out of the computer's keyboard, speaker grille, and other openings. Never spray cleaner directly onto the computer. Never use harsh or caustic chemical products to clean the computer.

| Moving your computer
|
|
|
| |
Before moving your computer, even across the room, make sure that all disk activity has ended and all external peripheral cables are disconnected.
CAUTION: Don't pick up the computer by its display panel or by the back (where the ports are located).
Although your notebook computer is built to withstand reasonable shock and vibration, transport it in a carrying case for long trips.

| Caring for compact discs
|
|
|
| |
- Store your CDs in their original containers to protect them from scratches and keep them clean.
- Don't bend your CDs or place heavy objects on top of them.
- Don't apply a label to, or otherwise mark, the surface of a CD.
- Hold a CD by its outside edge. Fingerprints on the surface of a CD can prevent the CD-ROM drive from reading the data properly.
- Don't expose CDs to direct sunlight or extreme heat or cold.
- To clean a CD, wipe it with a clean, dry cloth-starting from the centre of the CD and wiping toward the outward edge. Do not wipe using a circular motion. If necessary, moisten the cloth with water or a neutral cleaner (not benzine or rubbing alcohol). Let the CD dry completely before inserting it in the drive.
