Display Panel
The display panel functions the same as a desktop monitor. The Notebook PC uses an
active matrix TFT LCD, which provides excellent viewing like that of desktop monitors.
Unlike desktop monitors, the LCD panel does not produce any radiation or flickering, so it
is easier on the eyes. Use a soft cloth without chemical liquids (use plain water if necessary)
to clean the display panel.
Status Indicators (top)
Status indicators represent various hardware/software conditions. See indicator details in section 3.
Camera (on selected models)
The built-in camera allows picture taking or video recording. Can be used with video confer-
encing and other interactive applications.
Power Switch
The power switch turns ON and OFF the Notebook PC or putting the Notebook PC into
sleep or hibernation modes. Actual behavior of the power switch can be customized in
Windows Control Panel “Power Options.”
Direct Messenger
Direct Console 2.0 allows user-defined status indications. See indicator details in section 3.
