Shutdown Button (Emergency)

In case your operating system cannot properly turn OFF or restart, the shutdown button

can be pressed with a straightened paper clip to shutdown the Notebook PC.

Battery Lock - Spring

The spring battery lock is used to keep the battery pack secured. When the battery pack is in-

serted, it will automatically lock. To remove the battery pack, this spring lock must be held in

the unlocked position.

Battery Lock - Manual

The manual battery lock is used to keep the battery pack secured. Move the manual lock to the

unlocked position to insert or remove the battery pack. Move the manual lock to the locked

position after inserting the battery pack.

Memory (RAM) Compartment

The memory compartment provides expansion capabilities for additional memory. Addi-

tional memory will increase application performance by decreasing hard disk access. The

BIOS automatically detects the amount of memory in the system and configures CMOS

accordingly during the POST (Power-On-Self-Test) process. 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 expansion modules

from authorized retailers of this Notebook PC to ensure maximum compatibility and reliability.

Hard Disk Drive Compartment

The hard disk drive is secured in a compartment. Hard disk drive upgrades are to be done

by authorized service centers or dealers only.

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.

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.

Name Card Holder

The Notebook PC has a name card holder glued to the bottom of the Notebook PC to hold

identification information on the user in case the Notebook PC is found by others.
