Camera (on selected models)
The built-in camera allows picture taking or video recording. Can be used with video conferencing and
other interactive applications.
Microphone (Built-in)
The built-in mono microphone can be used for video conferencing, voice narrations, or simple audio
recordings.
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 moni-
tors. Unlike desktop monitors, the LCD panel does not produce any radiation or flick-
ering, so it is easier on the eyes. Use a soft cloth without chemical liquids (use plain
water if necessary) to clean the display panel.
CD Player Control Buttons (on selected models)
There are several CD control buttons integrated externally on the Notebook PC for con-
venient CD playing. The buttons activate and control your operating system’s software
audio player when the Notebook PC is ON. When your Notebook PC is OFF, the CD
control buttons activate a hardware CD player function that allows you to listen to audio
CDs without software. (See section 3 for more information).
