What is the Control Strip?

When you first turn on your PowerBook, a line of small pictures appears in
the lower left of the screen. This is called the Control Strip. Each picture in the
Control Strip is called a module.

The Control Strip is a quick and easy way to monitor and update your
PowerBook’s power management options. For instance, you can monitor the
battery charge level and adjust such options as File Sharing and sound
volume.

The Control Strip may look slightly different depending on the configuration
of your PowerBook.

To get a description of each module in the Control Strip, pull down the Help
menu, choose Show Balloons, and point to the modules one at a time.
