Two power conservation modes—suspend (or standby) mode and suspend-to-disk (S2D) mode—that help you
conserve battery power. If the batteries run out of power, S2D mode prevents data loss by copying all system data to
the hard-disk drive and turning off the computer.
Connector for one 3.3-volt (V) or 5-V PC Card. The PC Card slot supports type II PC Cards, including ZV PC Cards.
NOTE: The PC Card controller supports the CardBus standard for 32-bit data transfer on the PC Card.
Hardware and software support for the Dell Latitude LS Advanced Port Replicator (APR).
A touch-pad pointing device positioned for both left- and right-handed users. The left and right touch-pad buttons
mimic mouse buttons; you can also perform many pointing functions by tapping the touch pad itself. Click-and-drag
buttonless functions are supported.
A lithium ion battery in the battery bay. A 4-cell battery is standard, with a 6-cell battery optional at the time of
purchase, or as post-sale customer kit.
NOTICE: The batteries are designed to work only with Dell Latitude LS portable computers. Do not use the Latitude
LS batteries with other computers, and do not use batteries from other computers with the Dell Latitude LS.
CAUTION: Do not puncture or incinerate the battery. When your battery no longer holds a charge, call your
local waste disposal agency or environmental agency for advice on disposing of the computer's lithium ion
battery.

NOTE: To restart the computer using the reset switch, straighten a paper clip and press it into the
access hole for about one second.
An automatic thermal management system that uses a fan and microprocessor speed changes to keep the computer
running at an optimum temperature.

cause discomfort or, eventually, a burn.
