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. (More details in section 3.)
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 navi-
gation in the Windows™ operating system.
Status Indicators
Status indicator details are described in section 3.
Instant Keys
Instant launch keys allow you to launch frequently used applications with one push of a button. Details
provided later in this manual.
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.
CD Player Control Buttons
The CD player control buttons allow you to control CD playing as you would on a portable CD player.
The CD player can be operated without turning ON the Notebook PC. (More details in section 3.)
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.
Display Panel Care
The LCD screen is very delicate and requires careful handling. Pay attention to the following precautions:
• When not in use, keep the display panel closed to prevent dust accumulation.
• Do not use chemical cleaners on the screen. Wipe only with a dry cloth or tissue.
• Do not put your fingers or any objects directly on the screen.
• Do not press or lay any objects on the machine when it is closed.
• Do not carry the Notebook PC with small or sharp objects (e.g. paper clips or staples) that may
enter the Notebook PC and scratch the display panel.
