memory will increase application performance by decreasing hard disk access. The BIOS au-
tomatically detects the amount of memory in the system and configures accordingly. There is
no hardware or software (including BIOS) setup required after the memory is installed. Visit an
authorized service center or retailer for information on memory upgrades for your Notebook PC. Only purchase ex-
pansion modules from authorized retailers of this Notebook PC to ensure maximum compatibility and reliability.

Audio Speaker System
The built-in stereo speaker system allows you to hear audio without additional attachments.
The multimedia sound system features an integrated digital audio controller that produces
rich, vibrant sound (results improved with external stereo headphones or speakers). Audio
features are software controlled.
Infrared Port (IrDA) (on selected models)
The infrared (IrDA) communication port allows convenient wireless data communication
with infrared-equipped devices or computers. This allows easy wireless synchronization
with PDAs or mobile phones and even wireless printing to printers. If your office supports
IrDA networking, you can have wireless connection to a network anywhere provided there
is a direct line of sight to an IrDA node. Small offices can use IrDA technology to share a printer between
several closely placed Notebook PCs and even send files to each other without a network.
Battery Pack
The battery pack is automatically charged when the Notebook PC is connected to an AC power source
and maintains power to the Notebook PC when AC power is not connected. This allows use when moving
temporarily between locations. Battery time varies by usage and by the specifications for this Notebook
PC. The battery pack cannot be disassembled and must be purchased as a single unit.
