Battery Lock
The battery lock is used to keep the battery pack secured. Usage details are described in the battery
section later in this manual.
Battery Pack
The battery pack is automatically charged when connected to an AC power source and maintains power to
the Notebook PC when AC power is not connected. This allows use when moving temporarily between
locations. Battery time varies by usage and by the specifications for this Notebook PC. The battery pack
cannot be disassembled and must be replaced as a single unit through an authorized vendor.
Memory Slot
The memory compartment contains an expansion slot for additional memory. Memory installation or
upgrades must be done by an authorized retailer or else warranty will be void.
Central Processor (CPU)
Some Notebook PC models feature a socketed-processor design to allow upgrading to faster processors
in the future. Some models feature a ULV design for compactness and may not be upgraded. Visit an
authorized service center or retailer for information on upgrades.
WARNING! End-user removal of the CPU or hard disk drive will void the warranty.
Emergency Shutdown Button
In case your operating system cannot properly turn OFF or restart, the shutdown button can be pressed
with a straightened paper clip to shutdown the Notebook PC.
TV Tuner / WLAN Expansion Slots
The TV tuner slot can accommodate a TV tuner card in order to watch television programs on the
Notebook PC. The WLAN expansion slot can accomodate a wireless networking card in order to
wirelessly connect to network access points and the Internet.
Hard Disk Drive
The hard disk drive is secured in a compartment. Hard disk drive upgrades are to be done by authorized
service centers or dealers only.
Stereo Speakers
The built-in stereo speaker system allows you to hear audio without additional attachments. The
multimedia sound system features an integrated digital audio controller that produces rich, vibrant
sound (results improved with external stereo headphones or speakers). Audio features are software
controlled.
