USB Keyboard & Mouse (Optional)

Attaching an external USB keyboard will allow
data entry to be more comfortable. Attaching an
external USB mouse will allow Windows naviga-
tion to be more comfortable. Both the external USB
keyboard and mouse will work simultaneously with
the Notebook PC’s built-in keyboard and touchpad.

Optional Accessories (Cont.)

These items, if desired, come as optional items to complement your Notebook PC.

Television or Projection Device

For times when you need a really big display, try
the TV-Out function. TV-Out allows a high defini-
tion connection to a television or video projection
device using a Super VHS (S-Video) cable (not
provided). An adapter is provided for use with RCA
inputs available on all standard video devices. This
port support NTSC or PAL formats.
