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.
Status Indicators (top)
Status indicators represent various hardware/software conditions. See indicator details in section 3.
Instant Keys
Instant keys allow you to launch frequently used applications with one touch of a button.
Details are described in section 3.

Power Switch
The power switch turns ON and OFF the Notebook PC or putting the Notebook PC into
sleep or hibernation modes. Actual behavior of the power switch can be customized in
Windows Control Panel “Power Options.”
Spillproof Keyboard
The keyboard provides full-sized keys with comfortable travel (depth at which the keys
can be depressed) and palm rest for both hands. Two Windows function keys are provided
to help ease navigation in the Windows operating system. Draining holes are available to
prevent the keyboard from damage when the keyboard is spilled by accident.
Touchpad and Buttons
The touchpad with its buttons is a pointing device that provides the same functions as a desk-
top mouse. A software-controlled scrolling function is available after setting up the included
touchpad utility to allow easy Windows or web navigation.
