Your computer's TFT display
Small bright dots may appear on your screen display when you turn
on your computer. Your display contains an extremely large number
of thin-film transistors (TFT) and is manufactured using
high-precision technology. Any small bright dots that may appear
on your display are an intrinsic characteristic of the TFT
manufacturing technology. Over a period of time, and depending on
the usage of the computer, the brightness of the screen will
deteriorate. This is also an intrinsic characteristic of the screen
technology. When the computer is operated on battery power, the
screen will dim and you may not be able to increase the brightness
of the screen while on battery power.

Computing tips
❖ Save your work frequently.
Your work stays in the computer's temporary memory until
you save it to the internal storage drive. If the network you are
using goes down and you must restart your computer to
reconnect, or your battery runs out of charge while you are
working, you will lose all work since you last saved.
❖ Back up your files to external media on a regular basis. Label
the backup copies clearly and store them in a safe place.
❖ Scan all new files for viruses.
❖ Do not turn off the computer if a drive indicator light indicates
a drive is active.
Using the TouchPad

keyboard, is sensitive to touch and enables you to move the cursor
with the stroke of a finger. Simply move your finger on the
TouchPad in the direction you would like to move the cursor:
