battery charge gauge — Provides information on the battery charge. See "Using a Battery."

battery — When a battery is installed, you can use the computer without connecting the computer to an electrical outlet. See "Using a Battery."

docking device slot — Lets you attach your computer to a docking device. See the documentation that came with your docking device for additional information.

fan — The computer uses an internal fan to create airflow through the vents, which prevents the computer from overheating.

NOTE: The computer turns on the fan when the computer gets hot. Fan noise is normal and does not indicate a problem with the fans or the computer.

CAUTION: Do not block, push objects into, or allow dust to accumulate in the air vents. Do not store your computer in a low-airflow environment, such as a closed briefcase, while it is running. Restricting the airflow can damage the computer or cause a fire.

Mini PCI card cover — Covers the compartment that contains the Mini PCI card. See "Adding and Replacing Parts."
