Cleaning the computer
Keep liquids, including cleaning fluid, out of the computer’s
keyboard, speaker, and other openings. Never spray cleaner
directly onto the computer. Never use harsh or caustic
chemical products to clean the 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.
Moving the computer
Before moving your computer, even across the room, make
sure all disk activity has ended (the drive indicator light stops
glowing) and all external peripheral cables are disconnected.
Do not pick up the computer by its display panel or by the
back (where the ports are located). Doing so could damage the
system.
Although your notebook computer is built to withstand
reasonable shock and vibration, transport it in a carrying case
for long trips. You can purchase a carrying case from your
Toshiba dealer, through the accessories information packaged
with your system, or visit
Using a computer lock
For your own peace of mind, you may want to secure your
computer to a heavy object such as your desk. The easiest
way to do this is to purchase an optional computer lock cable.
