Function of Light

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Power light: Light is on when the computer’s power is

 

 

 

on. The light blinks once every second when the

 

 

 

battery is low. The light blinks once every three

 

 

 

seconds when the system is in rest mode.

 

 

 

Num Lock light: Light is on when the embedded

 

 

 

numeric keypad is activated. See “Using the Numeric

 

 

 

Keypad” on page 16 for a description of the keypad.

 

 

 

Caps Lock light: Light is on when the caps lock

 

 

 

function is activated. When the function is activated, all

 

 

 

alphabetic characters you type will be in upper case.

 

 

 

Scroll Lock light: Light is on when the scroll lock

 

 

 

function is activated. The scroll lock function affects

 

 

 

cursor movement and text scrolling in some

 

 

 

applications. This is a software specific key. Refer to

 

 

 

the appropriate software manuals for a description of

 

 

 

the <Scroll> key.

 

 

 

Drive light: Light is on when the hard drive or floppy

 

 

 

drive is being accessed. Do not turn your computer off

 

 

 

 

 

 

when this light is on. When the light is amber, the

 

 

 

 

 

 

floppy drive is being accessed. When the light is green,

 

 

 

 

 

 

the hard drive is being accessed. For a CD-ROM drive,

 

 

 

check the light on the drive itself to see if the drive is

 

 

 

being accessed.

 

 

 

Battery charge light: Light gives information about the

 

 

 

battery charge when the AC adapter is connected.

 

 

 

When the battery is charging, the light is amber. When

 

 

 

the battery is fully charged, the light turns green.
