It is a good idea to periodically backup internal storage of the tablet to
an external media. General storage media is not durable or stable
over long periods of time and under certain conditions may result in
data loss.
Connecting the AC adaptor
When battery power becomes low, you must charge it.
Use only the tablet connected to an AC power source to charge the battery.
Never attempt to charge the battery with any other charger.
The AC adaptor can automatically adjust to any voltage ranging from 100
to 240 volt and to a frequency of either 50 or 60 hertz, enabling you to use
this product in almost any country/region. The adaptor converts AC power

Depending on the model, either a 2-pin or 3-pin AC adaptor will be
bundled with the tablet.
The supplied USB cable conforms to safety rules and is designed to
provide adequate and steady power supply to the tablet. Please make
sure to use the supplied USB cable when you charge the tablet or
purchase an optional USB cable from TOSHIBA website.
Attach the AC adaptor when you need to charge the battery or you want to
operate from AC power. It is also the fastest way to get started, because
the battery will need to be charged before you can operate from battery
power.
User's Manual 3-7
Always use the TOSHIBA AC adaptor that was included with your
tablet, or use AC adaptors specified by TOSHIBA to avoid any risk of
fire or other damage to the tablet. Use of an incompatible AC adaptor
could cause fire or damage to the tablet possibly resulting in serious
injury. TOSHIBA assumes no liability for any damage caused by use
of an incompatible adaptor.
Never plug the AC adaptor into a power source that does not
correspond to both the voltage and the frequency specified on the
regulatory label of the unit. Failure to do so could result in a fire or
electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.
When you connect the AC adaptor to the tablet, always follow the
steps in the exact order as described below. Connecting the plug to a
live electrical outlet should be the last step otherwise the USB
connector could hold an electrical charge and cause an electrical
shock or minor bodily injury when touched. As a general safety
precaution, avoid touching any metal parts.
Never place your tablet or AC adaptor on a wooden surface, furniture,
or any other surface that could be marred by exposure to heat since
the tablet base and AC adaptor's surface increase in temperature
during normal use.
Always place your tablet or AC adaptor on a flat and hard surface that
is resistant to heat damage.

In “suspend or shutdown mode,” you can also charge your tablet,
although more slowly, by connecting the USB cable to the USB port
on your PC. Please make sure your PC is turned ON while charging
via USB. If your PC is turned OFF, depending on PC specifications,
the tablet battery may discharge. We recommend that you do not use
your tablet while charging via USB as auto shutdown may occur if the
battery charge is too low.

Wireless Devices and your health
Wireless products, like other radio devices, emit radio frequency
electromagnetic energy. The level of energy emitted by wireless products
however is far much less than the electromagnetic energy emitted by
wireless devices like for example mobile phones.
Because wireless products operate within the guidelines found in radio
frequency safety standards and recommendations, TOSHIBA believes
Wireless products 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.
In some situations or environments, the use of wireless products may be
restricted by the proprietor of the building or responsible representatives of
the organization. These situations may for example include:
Using the wireless products on board of airplanes, or
In any other environment where the risk of interference to other
devices or services is perceived or identified as harmful.
If you are uncertain of the policy that applies on the use of wireless devices
in a specific organization or environment (e.g. airports), you are
encouraged to ask for authorization to use the wireless device prior to
turning on the equipment.
