Left Side

Refer to the diagram below to identify the components on the left side of the Notebook PC.
Fast Infrared
Port

Fast Infrared Port

The fast infrared (IrDA) communication port allows convenient wireless data communication with
infrared-equipped devices or computers up to 4Mbits/sec. This allows easy wireless synchronization
with PDAs or mobile phones and even wireless printing to printers. If your office supports IrDA net-
working, you can have wireless connection to a network anywhere provided there is a direct line of
sight to an IrDA node. Small offices can use IrDA technology to share a printer between several closely
placed Notebook PCs and even send files to each other without a network.

Power Switch

The power switch allows powering ON and OFF the Notebook PC. Slide the switch once to turn ON
and once to turn OFF the Notebook PC. To prevent accidental turning OFF of the power, it is designed
to take longer (about 4 seconds) to turn OFF than to turn ON the power.

Air Vent

The air vents allow fresh air to be used to circulate warm air out of the Notebook PC. Be careful not to
block the air vents!
Audio-In Jack
The audio in provides stereo input from audio sources.

Microphone Jack

The mono microphone jack can be used to connect an external microphone or output signals from
audio devices. Using this jack automatically disables the built-in microphone.

Headphone Jack

The stereo headphone jack is used to connect the Notebook PC's audio out signal to amplified speakers
or headphones. Using this jack automatically disables the built-in speakers.
PC Card (PCMCIA) Sockets and Eject
Two PCMCIA 2.1 compliant sockets for two Type I or Type II or one Type III PC card are available. Both
sockets support 32-bit CardBus. This allows accommodation of all Notebook PC expansion options such
