User’s Manual

Qosmio G40

Conventions

This manual uses the following formats to describe, identify, and highlight
terms and operating procedures.

Abbreviations

On first appearance, and whenever necessary for clarity, abbreviations are
enclosed in parentheses following their definition. For example: Read Only
Memory (ROM). Acronyms are also defined in the Glossary.

Icons

Icons identify ports, dials, and other parts of your computer. The indicator
panel also uses icons to identify the components it is providing information
on.

Keys

The keyboard keys are used in the text to describe many computer
operations. A distinctive typeface identifies the key top symbols as they
appear on the keyboard. For example, ENTER identifies the ENTER key.

Key operation

Some operations require you to simultaneously use two or more keys. We
identify such operations by the key top symbols separated by a plus sign (+).
For example, CTRL + C means you must hold down CTRL and at the same
time press C. If three keys are used, hold down the first two and at the same
time press the third.

Display

ABC

When procedures require an action such as
clicking an icon or entering text, the icon’s name
or the text you are to type in is represented in the
typeface you see to the left.

S

ABC

Names of windows or icons or text generated by
the computer that appear on its display screen
are presented in the type face you see to the left.
