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.

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.

Instant Keys

Instant keys allow you to launch frequently used applications with one push of a button. Details pro-
vided later in this manual.

Audio Speakers

The built-in speaker system allows you to hear audio without additional attachments. The multimedia
sound system features an integrated digital audio controller that produces rich, vibrant sound (results
improved with external stereo headphones or speakers). All audio features are software controlled.
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 naviga-
tion in the Windows™ operating system.

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.
CD Player Control Buttons
There are several CD control buttons integrated externally on the Notebook PC for convenient CD
playing. The buttons activate and control your operating system's audio player when the Notebook PC
is ON. When your Notebook PC is OFF, the CD control buttons activate a CD player function that
allows you to listen to audio CDs even while the Notebook PC is not turned ON. (See section 3 for
more information.)

LED Status Indicators

Status indicator details are described in section 3.
