2 Knowing the Parts 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. Display Panel Care The LCD screen is very delicate and requires careful handling. Pay attention to the following precautions: • When not in use, keep the display panel closed to prevent dust accumulation. • Do not use chemical cleaners on the screen. Wipe only with a dry cloth or tissue. • Do not put your fingers or any objects directly on the screen. • Do not press or lay any objects on the machine when it is closed. • Do not carry the Notebook PC with small or sharp objects (e.g. paper clips or staples) that may enter the Notebook PC and scratch the display panel. Status Indicators Status indicator details are described in section 3. Microphone The built-in microphone provides a source for general note taking, voice mail recording, or for use with Internet phone software. An external microphone connection is also provided for use with your own audio input device. 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 Launch Keys Allows you to turn ON your Notebook PC (if necessary) and launch an application with one button. This is similar to those on PDAs. Details provided later in this manual.
