Keyboard
The keyboard provides full-sized keys with comfortable travel (depth at which the keys can be depressed)
and palm rest for both hands. Two Windows™ function keys are provided to help ease navigation in the
Windows™ operating system.
Touchpad and Buttons
The touchpad with its buttons is a pointing device that provides the same functions as a desktop mouse.
A software-controlled scrolling function is available after setting up the included touchpad utility to al-
low easy Windows or web navigation.
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.
Power Switch
The power switch allows powering ON and OFF the Notebook PC and recovering from STD. Use the
switch once to turn ON and once to turn OFF the Notebook PC. In Windows XP, this button
can also be used to safely turn OFF the Notebook PC. The power switch only works when
the display panel is opened.
Status Indicators (top and outside)
Status indicator details are described in section 3.
Power4 Gear+ Key
The Power4 Gear+ button toggles power savings between various power saving modes. The power
saving modes control many aspects of the Notebook PC to maximize performance versus battery time
during various events.
