CHAPTER 3: USING YOUR LAPTOP

Using the Integrated Camera

FastAccess Facial Recognition

Your computer may have the FastAccess facial recognition feature. This feature helps keep your Alienware computer secure by using the unique appearance of your face to verify your identity and automatically supply login information that you would normally enter manually, such as a user ID and password for a Windows account or a secure web site. For more information, click Start → Programs→ FastAccess.

Turning the Camera On and Off

Press the key combination <Fn><F9> to switch on or switch off the camera. After switching on the camera, 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, WLAN, and WWAN) off, such as when you are asked to disable all wireless radios on an airplane flight. Press on the media control keys to turn on all radios. Press again to return your wireless radios to their respective states they were in before you pressed the wireless key the first time.
