Power/Suspend Switches

The notebook contains two power/mode switches including:

Power On/Off Switch- Horizontal slide type switch that controls power
to the unit (left most position is Off). When initially set to the On (I)
position, power is applied to the Notebook Computer, the PWR LED
glows green and the computer executes power up self test; then loads
Windows. When set to the O or Off position, the Notebook powers down
and all data in RAM memory is lost.

Suspend Switch- an alternate action touch switch that places the unit
in Suspend Mode (if previously On) or On if previously in Suspend Mode.

Two Battery Eject switches (just above the keyboard on left side). These
switches slide to the left to release the two notebook batteries.

Two PCMCIA Card Eject switches (above the keyboard on the right side
of the unit). These switches are used to release the two PCMCIA cards,
if installed.

The Point (Mouse) Switches

The TM5000 Series Notebook Computers are equipped with a built-in mouse
device called "the Point" physically located at the intersection of the G, H,
and B keys on the keyboard (see Figure 3-2).

The cursor is positioned by applying slight pressure to the rubber ball in the
direction you want the cursor to go. The harder you press, the faster the
cursor moves.

The select functions are performed by the two buttons at the bottom of the
keyboard (Figure 3-2).
