There are several LED status indicators on the right of the power button and two on the front edge
of the Notebook PC. The LED status indicators give information on the Notebook PC’s current
operating and keyboard statuses. The following illustration shows the meaning of each status LED.
LED Status Indicator Description
The following gives a description for each of the LED status indicators.
Activity Indicator
Indicates that the Notebook PC is accessing the floppy, hard disk, CD/DVD-ROM drive. The light
flashes proportional to the access time.
Number Lock
Indicates that number lock [Num Lk] is activated when lit. Number lock allows some of the key-
board letters to act as numbers for easier numeric data input.
Capital Lock
Indicates that capital lock [Caps Lock] is activated when lighted. Capital lock allows some of the
keyboard letters to type using capitalized letters (e.g. A, B, C). When the capital lock light is OFF,
the typed letters will be in the lower case form (e.g. a,b,c).
Scroll Lock
Indicates that scroll lock [Scr Lk] is activated when lit. Scroll lock allows some of the keyboard
letters to act as direction keys in order to allow easier navigation when only a part of the keyboard
is required, such as for playing games.
Power Indicator
The green LED will light when the power is ON and blink when in suspend-to-RAM mode. This
LED will be OFF when in suspend-to-disk mode.
Battery Indicator
Indicates that the battery is being charged when flashing and fully charged when it is OFF. This
LED only lights when the power adapter is used. This LED will not light if there is no battery
installed. Quick flashing means that the battery pack cannot be charged and needs replacing.
