Introduction  
============  
The FreeType Project is distributed in several archive packages; some of  
them may contain, in addition to the FreeType font engine, various tools  
and contributions which rely on, or relate to, the FreeType Project.  
This license applies to all files found in such packages, and which do not  
fall under their own explicit license. The license affects thus the FreeType  
font engine, the test programs, documentation and makefiles, at the very  
least.  
This license was inspired by the BSD, Artistic, and IJG (Independent JPEG  
Group) licenses, which all encourage inclusion and use of free software in  
commercial and freeware products alike. As a consequence, its main  
points are that:  
We don't promise that this software works. However, we will be  
interested in any kind of bug reports. (`as is' distribution)  
You can use this software for whatever you want, in parts or full form,  
without having to pay us. (`royalty-free' usage)  
You may not pretend that you wrote this software. If you use it, or only  
parts of it, in a program, you must acknowledge somewhere in your  
documentation that you have used the FreeType code. (`credits')  
We specifically permit and encourage the inclusion of this software, with or  
without modifications, in commercial products.  
We disclaim all warranties covering The FreeType Project and assume no  
liability related to The FreeType Project.

Finally, many people asked us for a preferred form for a credit/disclaimer to  
use in compliance with this license. We thus encourage you to use the  
following text:  
"""  
Portions of this software are copyright (C) <year> The FreeType Project  
"""  
Please replace <year> with the value from the FreeType version you  
actually use.  
Legal Terms  
============  
0. Definitions  
--------------  
Throughout this license, the terms `package', `FreeType Project', and  
`FreeType archive' refer to the set of files originally distributed by the  
authors (David Turner, Robert Wilhelm, and Werner Lemberg) as the

Disposing of the computer and the computer's  
batteries  
Contact an authorized TOSHIBA service provider for details regarding how  
to dispose of the computer and the batteries.  
General Precautions  
TOSHIBA computers are designed to optimize safety, minimize strain and  
withstand the rigors of portability. However, certain precautions should be  
observed to further reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the  
computer.  
Be certain to read the general precautions below and to note the cautions  
included in the text of the manual.  
Provide adequate ventilation  
Always make sure your computer and AC adaptor have adequate  
ventilation and are protected from overheating when the power is turned on  
or when an AC adaptor is connected to a power outlet (even if your  
computer is in Sleep Mode). In this condition, observe the following:  
Never cover your computer or AC adaptor with any object.  
Never place your computer or AC adaptor near a heat source, such as  
an electric blanket or heater.  
Always provide sufficient space around the computer.  
Overheating your computer or AC adaptor could cause system failure,  
computer or AC adaptor damage or a fire, possibly resulting in serious  
injury.  
Creating a computer-friendly environment  
To keep your computer in prime operating condition, protect your work area  
from:  
Dust, moisture, and direct sunlight.  
Equipment that generates a strong electromagnetic field, such as  
stereo speakers (other than speakers that are connected to the  
computer) or speakerphones.  
Rapid changes in temperature or humidity and sources of temperature  
change such as air conditioner vents or heaters.  
Extreme heat, cold, or humidity.  
Liquids and corrosive chemicals.  
Stress injury  
Carefully read the Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort. It contains  
information on the prevention of stress injuries to your hands and wrists  
User's Manual  
 
1-13  
   
that can be caused by extensive use. It also includes information on work  
space design, posture and lighting that can help reduce physical stress.  
Heat injury  
Avoid prolonged physical contact with the computer. If the computer is  
used for long periods, its surface can become very warm. While the  
temperature will not feel hot to the touch, if you maintain physical  
contact with the computer for a long time, for example if you rest the  
computer on your lap or if you keep your hands on the palm rest, your  
skin might suffer a low-heat injury.  
If the computer has been used for a long time, avoid direct contact  
with the metal plate supporting the various interface ports as this can  
become hot.  
The surface of the AC adaptor can become hot when in use but this  
condition does not indicate a malfunction. If you need to transport the  
AC adaptor, you should disconnect it and let it cool before moving it.  
Do not lay the AC adaptor on a material that is sensitive to heat as the  
material could become damaged.  
Pressure or impact damage  
Do not apply heavy pressure to the computer or subject it to any form of  
strong impact as this can damage the computer's components or otherwise  
cause it to malfunction.  
Cleaning the computer  
To help ensure long, trouble-free operation, keep the computer free of dust  
and dirt, and use care with all liquids around it.  
Be careful not to spill liquids into the computer. If the computer does  
get wet, turn the power off immediately and let the computer dry  
completely - in these circumstance you should get the computer  
inspected by an authorized service provider in order to assess the  
scope of any damage.  
Clean the plastics of the computer using a slightly water dampened  
cloth.  
You can clean the display screen by spraying a small amount of glass  
cleaner onto a soft, clean cloth and then wiping the screen gently with  
the cloth.  
Never spray cleaner directly onto the computer or let liquid run into any part  
of it. Never use harsh or caustic chemical products to clean the computer.  
User's Manual  
 
1-14  
 
Moving the computer  
While the computer is designed for flexible day-to-day usage you should  
exercise a few simple precautions when moving it in order to help ensure  
trouble-free operation.  
Make sure all disk activity has ended before moving the computer.  
Turn off (shut down) the computer.  
Disconnect the AC adaptor and all peripherals before moving the  
computer.  
Before carrying your computer, shut it down, disconnect the AC  
adaptor and allow it to cool down - a failure to follow this instruction  
may result in minor heat injury.  
Be careful not to subject the computer to impact or shock - a failure to  
follow this instruction could result in damage to computer, computer  
failure or loss of data.  
Never transport your computer with any cards installed - this may  
cause damage to either the computer and/or the card resulting in  
computer failure.  
Always use a suitable carry case when transporting the computer.  
When carrying your computer, be sure to hold it securely so that it  
does not fall or hit anything.  
Do not carry your computer by holding any of its protruding elements.  
Mobile phones  
Please be aware that the use of mobile phones can interfere with the audio  
system. The operation of the computer will not be impaired in any way, but  
it is recommended that a minimum distance of 30cm is maintained between  
the computer and a mobile phone that is in use.  
Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort  
All important information on the safe and proper use of this computer is  
described in the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort. Be  
sure to read it before using the computer.  
Safety Icons  
Safety icons are used in this manual to bring important information to your  
attention. Each type of message is identified as shown below.  
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which could result in death or  
serious injury, if you do not follow instructions.

Using your tablet for the first time  
Be sure to read the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort for  
information on the safe and proper use of this tablet. It is intended to help  
you be more comfortable and productive while using a tablet. By following  
the recommendations in it you may reduce your chance of developing a  
painful or disabling injury to your hand, arms, shoulders or neck.  
This section provides basic information to start using your tablet. It covers  
the following topics:  
Connecting the AC adaptor  
Turning on the power  
Initial setup  
Getting to know Windows  
Use a virus-check program and make sure it is updated regularly.  
Never format storage media without checking its content - formatting  
destroys all stored data.  
It is a good idea to periodically back up the 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.  
Before you install a device or application, save any data in memory to  
the internal storage or other storage media. Failure to do so may result  
in the loss of data.  
User's Manual  
 
2-2  
 
Connecting the AC adaptor  
Connect 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 pack will need to be charged before you can operate from  
battery power.  
The AC adaptor can automatically adjust to any voltage ranging from 100  
to 240 volts and to a frequency of either 50 or 60 hertz, enabling you to use  
this tablet in almost any country/region. The adaptor converts AC power to  
DC power and reduces the voltage supplied to this tablet.  
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.  
Always use or purchase power cables that comply with the legal  
voltage and frequency specifications and requirements in the country  
of use. Failure to do so could result in a fire or electric shock, possibly  
resulting in serious injury.  
The supplied power cord conforms to safety rules and regulations in  
the region the tablet is bought and should not be used outside this  
region. For use in other regions, please buy power cords that conform  
to safety rules and regulations in the particular region.  
Do not use a 3-pin to 2-pin conversion plug.  
When you connect the AC adaptor to the tablet, always follow the  
steps in the exact order as described in this User’s Manual.  
Connecting the power cable to a live electrical outlet should be the last  
step otherwise the adaptor DC output plug 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.  
Refer to the enclosed Instruction Manual for Safety and Comfort for  
detailed precautions and handling instructions.

Formatting a memory media card  
Memory media cards are sold already formatted in conformity to specific  
standards. If you reformat a memory card, be sure to reformat it with a  
device such as digital camera or digital audio player that uses the memory  
cards, not with the format command provided within Windows.  
Should you need to format all areas of the memory card, including the  
protected area, you will need to obtain an appropriate application that  
applies the copy protection system.  
Media care  
Observe the following precautions when handling the card.  
Do not twist or bend cards.  
Do not expose cards to liquids or store in humid areas or lay media  
close to containers of liquid.  
Do not touch the metal part of a card or expose it to liquids or let it get  
dirty.  
After using card, return it to its case.  
The card is designed so that it can be inserted only one way. Do not  
try to force the card into the slot.  
Do not leave a card partially inserted in the slot. Press the card until  
you hear it click into place.  
Set the write-protect switch to the lock position, if you do not want to  
record data.  
Memory cards have a limited lifespan, so it is important to backup  
important data.  
Do not write to a card if the battery power is low. Low power could  
affect writing accuracy.  
Do not remove a card while read/write is in progress.

Troubleshooting  
TOSHIBA has designed this computer for durability, however, should  
problems occur you are able to use the procedures detailed in this chapter  
to help determine the cause.  
All users should become familiar with this chapter as knowing what might  
go wrong can help prevent problems from occurring in the first place.  
Problem solving process  
Resolving problems will be much easier if you observe the following  
guidelines:  
Stop immediately when you recognize a problem exists as taking  
further action may result in data loss or damage, or you may destroy  
valuable problem related information that can help solve the problem.  
Observe what is happening - write down what the system is doing and  
what actions you performed immediately before the problem occurred.  
Make a screenshot of the current display.  
Please also be aware that the questions and procedures described in this  
chapter are meant only as a guide, they are not definitive problem solving  
techniques. In reality many problems can be solved simply, but a few may  
require help from TOSHIBA Support - if you find you need to consult  
others, be prepared to describe the problem in as much detail as possible.  
Preliminary checklist  
You should always consider the simplest solution first - the items detailed  
in this checklist are easy to fix and yet can cause what appears to be a  
serious problem:  
Make sure you turn on all peripheral devices before you turn on the  
computer - this includes your printer and any other external device you  
are using.  
Before you attach an external device you should first turn the  
computer off, then when you turn the computer back on again it will  
recognize the new device.  
Make sure all optional accessories are configured properly in the  
computer's setup program and that all required driver software has  
been loaded (please refer to the documentation included with the  
optional accessories for further information on its installation and  
configuration).  
User's Manual  
 
6-1  
   
Check all cables to ensure they are correctly and firmly attached to the  
computer - loose cables can cause signal errors.  
Inspect all connecting cables for loose wires and all connectors for  
loose pins.  
Always try to make detailed notes of your observations and keep them in a  
permanent error log - this will help you to describe your problems to  
TOSHIBA Support. In addition, if a problem recurs, the log you have made  
will help to identify the problem faster.  
Analyzing the problem  
Sometimes the computer will give you clues that can help you identify why  
it is malfunctioning. In view of this you should keep the following questions  
in mind:  
Which part of the computer is not operating properly - as each device  
will produce different symptoms.  
Check the options within the operating system to ensure that its  
configuration is set properly.  
What appears on the display? Does it display any messages or  
random characters? Make a screenshot of the current display and, if  
possible, look up the messages in the documentation included with the  
computer, software or operating system.  
Check that all connecting cables are correctly and firmly attached as  
loose cables can cause erroneous or intermittent signals.  
Do you hear any beeps, if so how many, are they long or short and are  
they high pitched or low pitched? In addition, is the computer making  
any unusual noises? Write down what you hear.  
Record your observations so you can describe them in detail to TOSHIBA  
Support.  
Software  
The problems may be caused by your software. If  
you cannot load a software package, the media  
may be damaged or the program might be  
corrupted - in these instances try loading another  
copy of the software if possible.  
If an error message appears while you are using  
a software package you should refer to the  
documentation supplied with it as this will usually  
include a problem solving section or a summary  
of error messages.  
Next, you should check any error messages  
against the operating system documentation.  
User's Manual  
 
6-2  
 
Hardware  
If you cannot find a software problem, you should  
then check the setup and configuration of your  
hardware. First run through the items in the  
preliminary checklist as described previously  
then, if you still cannot correct the problem, try to  
identify the source - the next section provides  
checklists for individual components and  
peripherals.  
Before using a peripheral device or application software that is not an  
authorized TOSHIBA part or product, make sure the device or software can  
be used with your computer. Use of incompatible devices may cause injury  
or may damage your computer.  
If something goes wrong  
Your program stops responding  
If you are working with a program that suddenly freezes all operations,

questions about using Wireless LAN or Bluetooth Module.  
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 are 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 equipment 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.  
Wireless LAN Technology  
The computer’s wireless communication function supports some wireless  
communication devices.  
Only some models are equipped with both Wireless LAN and Bluetooth  
functions.  
Do not use the Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi) or Bluetooth functionalities near a  
microwave oven or in areas subject to radio interference or magnetic  
fields. Interference from a microwave oven or other source can disrupt  
Wi-Fi or Bluetooth operation.  
User's Manual  
 
7-4  
 
Turn all wireless functionalities off when near a person who may have  
a cardiac pacemaker implant or other medical electric device. Radio  
waves may affect pacemaker or medical device operation, possibly  
resulting in serious injury. Follow the instruction for your medical  
device when using any wireless functionality.  
Always turn off wireless functionality if the computer is near automatic  
control equipment or appliances such as automatic doors or fire  
detectors. Radio waves can cause malfunction of such equipment,  
possibly resulting in serious injury.  
It may not be possible to make a network connection to a specified  
network name using the ad hoc network function. If this occurs, the  
new network (*) will have to be configured for all computers connected  
to the same network in order to re-enable network connections.  
* Please be sure to use new network name.  
Security  
TOSHIBA strongly recommend that you enable encryption  
functionality, otherwise your computer will be open to illegal access by  
an outsider using a wireless connection. If this occurs, the outsider  
may illegally access your system, eavesdrop, or cause the loss or  
destruction of stored data.  
TOSHIBA is not liable for the loss of data due to eavesdropping or  
illegal access through the wireless LAN and the damage thereof.

Wireless communication is often subject to local radio regulations.  
Although Wireless LAN wireless networking products have been designed  
for operation in the license-free 2.4GHz and 5GHz band, local radio  
regulations may impose a number of limitations to the use of wireless  
communication equipment.

Radio Frequency  
Band 5GHz (5150-5850 MHz) (Revision a  
and n)  
Band 2.4GHz (2400-2483.5 MHz) (Revision  
b/g and n)  
The range of the wireless signal is related to the transmit rate of the  
wireless communication. Communications at lower transmit range may  
travel larger distances.  
The range of your wireless devices can be affected when the  
antennas are placed near metal surfaces and solid high-density  
materials.  
Range is also impacted due to "obstacles" in the signal path of the  
radio that may either absorb or reflect the radio signal.  
Radio Frequency Interference Requirements  
This device is restricted to indoor use due to its operation in the 5.15 to  
5.25GHz frequency range.  
High-power radars are allocated as primary users (i.e. priority users) of the  
bands 5.25 to 5.35GHz and 5.65 to 5.85GHz and that these radars could  
cause interference and/or damage to LE-LAN devices.  
Bluetooth wireless technology  
Some computers in this series have Bluetooth wireless communication  
function which eliminates the need for cables between electronic devices  
such as computers, printers and mobile phones. When it is enabled,  
Bluetooth provides the wireless personal area network environment which  
is safe and trustworthy, that is quick and easy.  
You cannot use the computer's built-in Bluetooth functions and an external  
Bluetooth adaptor simultaneously. For reference, Bluetooth wireless  
technology has the following features:  
Security  
Two advanced security mechanisms ensure a high level of security:  
Authentication prevents access to critical data and makes it impossible  
to falsify the origin of a message.  
Encryption prevents eavesdropping and maintains link privacy.  
Worldwide operation  
The Bluetooth radio transmitter and receiver operate in the 2.4GHz band,  
which is license-free and compatible with radio systems in most countries  
in the world.
