Instant Keys

Instant keys allow you to launch frequently used applications with one push of a button.

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.

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.
