If the battery becomes too hot while it is being charged, the charge will stop and the Battery indicator will go out. When the battery’s temperature falls to a normal range, charge will resume. This occurs whether the computer’s power is on or off. DC IN indicator Check the DC IN indicator to determine the power status with the AC Adaptor connected:...
Page 118: Battery Pack
The battery pack is a lithium ion battery, which can explode if not properly replaced, used, handled or disposed of. Dispose of the battery as required by local ordinances or regulations. Use only batteries recommended by TOSHIBA as replacements. ■ Always use the battery pack supplied as an accessory or an equivalent battery pack specified in the User’s Manual.
Page 119: Real Time Clock Battery
Chapter 10, The computer’s RTC battery is a Ni-MH battery and should be replaced only by your dealer or by a TOSHIBA service representative. The battery can explode if not properly replaced, used, handled or disposed of. Dispose of the battery as required by local ordinances or regulations.
Page 120: Care And Use Of The Battery Pack
Care and use of the battery pack The battery pack is a vital component of portable computing. Taking proper care of it will help ensure longer operating time on battery power as well as a longer life for your battery pack. Follow the instructions in this section carefully to ensure safe operation and maximum performance.
Page 121 Do not turn on the PC’s power again until an authorized Toshiba service provider has checked it for safety. Continued use could cause a fire or rupture possibly resulting in serious injury or PC failure including but not limited to the loss of data.
Page 122 Caution 1. Use only battery packs recommended by TOSHIBA as replacements. 2. When installing a battery pack or before moving the PC, always make sure the battery pack is inserted correctly and securely. If the battery falls out, while you are carrying the PC, you could be injured or the battery pack could be damaged.
Page 123: Charging The Batteries
The Battery indicator glows orange when the battery is being charged. Use only the computer connected to an AC power source or the optional TOSHIBA Battery charger to charge the battery pack. Never attempt to charge the battery pack with any other charger.
Page 124: Battery Charging Notice
Therefore, an often used, older battery will not operate for as long as a new battery even when both are fully charged. In this case, TOSHIBA Power Saver will indicate a 100% charge for both the old and new battery, but the displayed estimated time remaining will be shorter for the older battery.

Page 249: Bluetooth Wireless Technology And Your Health
Because products with Bluetooth wireless technology operate within the guidelines found in radio frequency safety standards and recommendations, TOSHIBA believes Bluetooth wireless technology 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.
Page 250 The radiated output power of the Bluetooth™ Card from TOSHIBA is far below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the Bluetooth™ Card from TOSHIBA shall be used in such a manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized. In normal operating configuration, the LCD in the upright position, the distance between the antenna and the user should not be less than 20cm.
