Knowing the Parts 2
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 ickering, so it
is easier on the eyes. Use a soft cloth without chemical liquids (use plain water if necessary)
to clean the display panel.
Status Indicators (top)
Status indicators represent various hardware/software conditions. See indicator details in section 3.
Instant Keys (touch sensitive)
Instant keys allow you to launch frequently used applications with one touch of a button.
Details are described in section 3.
Camera (on selected models)
The built-in camera allows picture taking or video recording. Can be used with video confer-
encing and other interactive applications.
Direct Messenger
Direct Console 2.0 allows user-dened status indications. See details in section 4.

phones and can be used for video conferencing, voice narrations, audio recordings, and multimedia
