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 (will vary by model)
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.
Instant Keys
Instant keys allow you to launch frequently used applications with one push of a button. Details are
described in section 3.
Status Indicators (front)
Status indicator details are described in section 3.
Microphone (Built-in)
The built-in mono microphone can be used for video conferencing, voice narrations, or simple audio
recordings.
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 indicator details are described in section 3.
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 (outside)
Status indicator details are described in section 3.
CD Player Control Buttons
There are several CD control buttons integrated externally on the Notebook PC for convenient CD playing.
The buttons activate and control your operating system’s software audio player when the Notebook PC
is ON. When your Notebook PC is OFF, the CD control buttons activate a hardware CD player function
that allows you to listen to audio CDs without software. (See section 3 for more information).
