Stealth Mode

Stealth Mode helps you switch your notebook to a low power state to facilitate the use of a 65 W auto/air adapter. This state is well suited for casual use such as e-mail, music/video/DVD playback. Stealth mode will switch the notebook from discrete to integrated graphics mode, and also incorporate additional system power savings to extend battery life and reduce power consumption. Switching into and out of Stealth mode may require a reboot depending on your system configuration and the operating system.

You can access Stealth Mode by gently touching the touch control located near the top of the keyboard. The control will illuminate to full brightness until the function is deactivated. For the exact location of the control, refer to the “Top View Features” diagram on page 13.

Using Removable Media and Cards

Please observe the safety measures below:

When the ExpressCard is not inserted into the ExpressCard slot, make sure this slot is covered by the spring-loaded slot door attached to your notebook. The ExpressCard slot door protects the unused slot from dust and other particles.

When no card (SD/MMC/MS Cards) is inserted into the media slot, make sure that the blank card that shipped with your notebook is inserted in this slot. The blank card protects the unused slot from dust and other particles. When inserting the blank card, make sure that the arrow on the card is on the top. Inserting the blank card upside down may cause damage to your notebook.

Using the Optical Drive

Your notebook has a slot load optical drive. Depending on the configuration ordered, your notebook is configured with one or more of the following drive types. These logos are used to indicate each drive’s respective capabilities and media compatibility.

Using the Integrated Webcam

Turning the Webcam On and Off

Press the key combination <Fn><F9> to switch on or switch off the webcam module. After switching on the webcam, you need to activate its function through the Microsoft Windows operating system. In addition, you can also use Windows Movie Maker to create, edit, and share videos.

Using the Wireless Control

The wireless control allows you to quickly turn all of your wireless radios (Bluetooth® and WLAN) off, such as when you are asked to disable all wireless radios on an airplane flight. Gently touching this control one time turns all of your radios off. Gently touching it again returns your wireless radios to their respective states they were in before you touched the control the first time.
