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 flickering, so it is easier on the eyes.

Display Panel Care

The LCD screen is very delicate and requires careful handling. Pay attention to the following precautions:

•When not in use, keep the display panel closed to prevent dust accumulation.

•Do not use chemical cleaners on the screen. Wipe only with a dry cloth or tissue.

•Do not put your fingers or any objects directly on the screen.

•Do not press or lay any objects on the machine when it is closed.

•Do not carry the Notebook PC with small or sharp objects (e.g. paper clips or staples) that may enter the Notebook PC and scratch the display panel.

Power Switch

The power switch allows powering ON and OFF the Notebook PC and recovering from STD. Push the switch once to turn ON and once to turn OFF the Notebook PC.
