Flash Memory Slot
Normally a PCMCIA or USB memory card reader must be purchased separately in order to
use memory cards from devices such as digital cameras, MP3 players, mobile phones, and
PDAs. This Notebook PC has a built-in memory card reader that can read many flash memory
cards as specified later in this manual. The built-in memory card reader is not only convenient,
but also faster than most other forms of memory card readers because it utilizes the high-
bandwidth PCI bus.
Display Panel Latch
One spring-loaded latch on the front of the Notebook PC locks the display panel in the closed position
when the Notebook PC is not in use. To open the display panel, negotiate the latch with your thumb and
lift up the display panel while holding the latch. Slowly tilt the display panel forward or backward to a
comfortable viewing angle.
WARNING! When opening, do not force the display panel down to the table or else
the hinges may break! Never lift the Notebook PC by the display panel!
