CPU performance may vary from specifications under certain conditions such as the use of battery instead of AC power, certain external peripherals, certain multimedia applications or network connections, complex modelling software and in areas with low air pressure at high altitude (1,000 metres above sea level) and/or certain temperatures. CPU performance may also vary from specifications due to design configuration. Under some conditions, your computer
may automatically shut down as a normal protective measure. To avoid risk of lost data, please make periodic back-up copies. For optimum performance, use your computer only under recommended conditions. Please read detailed restrictions in the product resource guide, visit the Toshiba web site: computers.toshiba-europe.com and/or contact Toshiba Technical Support. • One GB means one billion bytes. Battery life may vary depending on applications,
power management settings and features utilized. Recharge time varies depending on usage. Battery may not charge while computer is consuming full power. After a period of time, the battery will lose its ability to perform at maximum capacity and will need to be replaced. This is normal for all batteries. To purchase a new battery pack, see your accessories information that shipped with your computer or visit the Toshiba web site at computers.toshiba-europe.com.
• Small bright dots may appear on your TFT display when you turn on your PC. Your display contains an extremely large number of thin-film transistors (TFT) and is manufactured using high-precision technology. Any small bright dots that may appear on your display are an intrinsic characteristic TFT manufacturing technology. * Microsoft® Office OneNote™ 2003 is not available in all countries.
