Web Camera

The Web Camera is a device that allows you to

 

record video or take photographs with your

 

computer. You can use it for video chatting or

 

video conferences using a communication tool

 

such as Windows Live Messenger. TOSHIBA

various video effects to your video or photograph.

 

The web camera also enables the transmission

 

of video and use of video chat via the internet

 

using specialized applications. The effective pixel

record sounds for your application - please refer

Display screen

Please be aware that, when the computer is

 

operating on the AC adaptor, the image

 

displayed on the internal screen will be

 

somewhat brighter than when it operates on

 

battery power. This difference in brightness

 

levels is intended to save power when operating

 

on batteries. For more information on the

 

computer’s display, please refer to the Display

 

Controller section in Appendix B.

 

 

Display hinge

The display hinge allows the display panel to be

 

position at a variety of easy-to-view angles.

 

 

Stereo speakers

The speakers emit sound generated by your

 

software as well as audio alarms, such as low

 

battery condition, generated by the system.

 

 

Keep foreign objects out of the speakers. Never allow metal objects, such as screws, staples and paper clips, to enter the computer or keyboard. Foreign metal objects can create a short circuit, which can cause computer damage and fire, possibly resulting in serious injury.
