❖ Never leave your computer on a sunny ledge or in a place
where it could get wet or covered in dust.
❖ Always travel with the computer in a carrying case. Toshiba
offers a choice of carrying cases for the computer. They all
provide plenty of extra space for manuals, power cords, and
compact discs. Contact your authorized Toshiba representative

Wireless antenna is OFF if your computer has wireless LAN
capability.
