LED Status Indicators

Status indicator details are described in section 3.

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
allow easy Windows or web navigation.

Keyboard

The keyboard provides full-sized keys with comfortable travel (depth at which the keys can be de-
pressed) and palm rest for both hands. Two Windows™ function keys are provided to help ease naviga-
tion in the Windows™ operating system.

Power Switch

The power switch allows powering ON and OFF the Notebook PC and recovering from STD. Push the
switch once to turn ON and once to turn OFF the Notebook PC.

Instant Launch Keys

Instant launch keys allow you to launch frequently used applications with one push of a button. Details
provided later in this manual.

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.

Camera

On selected models

The built-in camera allows picture taking or video recording. Can be used with voice conferencing and
other interactive applications.

Microphone (built-in)

The built-in mono microphone can be used for video conferencing, voice narrations, or simple audio
recordings.
