Front Side - Asus L5D Hardware User Manual

Front Side

Refer to the diagram below to identify the components on the front side of the Notebook PC.
Display Panel Latch
One spring-loaded latch on the front of the Notebook PC locks the display panel in the closed position
when the Notebook PC is not in use. To open the display panel, slide and release the latch with your
thumb and lift up the display panel with the same thumb. Slowly tilt the display panel forward or
backward to a comfortable viewing angle.
Infrared Port (IrDA)
The infrared (IrDA) communication port allows convenient wireless data communication with infra-
red-equipped devices or computers. This allows easy wireless synchronization with PDAs or mobile
phones and even wireless printing to printers. If your office supports IrDA networking, 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.
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.)
