Status Indicators

Front

Power Indicator

The power indicator lights when the Notebook PC is turned ON and blinks slowly when the Note-
book PC is in the Suspend-to-RAM (Standby) mode. This indicator is OFF when the Notebook
PC is turned OFF or in the Suspend-to-Disk (Hibernation) mode.

Battery Charge Indicator

The battery charge indicator is an LED that shows the status of the battery's power as follows:
ON: The Notebook PC's battery is charging when AC power is connected.
OFF: The Notebook PC's battery is charged or completely drained.
Blinking: Battery power is less than 10% and the AC power is not connected.

Drive Activity Indicator

Indicates that the Notebook PC is accessing one or more storage device(s) such as the hard
disk. The light flashes proportional to the access time.
Wireless Indicator
This is only applicable on models with built-in wireless LAN and/or built-in Bluetooth.
When the built-in wireless LAN and/or built-in Bluetooth is enabled, this indicator will
light. (Windows software settings are necessary.)

Capital Lock Indicator

Indicates that capital lock [Caps Lock] is activated when lighted. Capital lock allows some
of the keyboard letters to type using capitalized letters (e.g. A, B, C). When the capital
lock light is OFF, the typed letters will be in the lower case form (e.g. a,b,c).
Bluetooth Indicator
This is only applicable on models with internal Bluetooth (BT). This indicator will light to
show that the Notebook PC's built-in Bluetooth (BT) function is activated.
Pad-Lock Indicator (between touchpad buttons)
This indicator will light when the built-in touchpad is UNLOCKED (enabled). When the built-in
touchpad is LOCKED (disabled), this indicator will not light. Locking the touchpad will prevent
you from accidentally moving the cursor while typing and is best used with an external pointing
device such as a mouse.
