Q7.
Is there any difference between the cycle life of NiMH and Lithium Ion batteries?
A7.
Lithium Ion battery cycle life is approximately the same as that of NiMH, roughly 300
cycles. Lithium Ion batteries have the greatest capacity at the beginning of their life.
NiMH batteries start out below maximum capacity and reach maximum capacity after
about 50 cycles. After 300 cycles, both battery chemistries reduce to approximately 80%
of their original capacity.
DISPLAY PANELS
Q8.
What is the benefit of 1024 x 768 resolution on the 12.1” CTFT display?
A8.
With the large 12.1” display, and higher resolution of 1024 x 768 means that more
information is displayed within the 12.1” diagonal viewing area as compared to a display
with either 640 x 480 or 800 x 600 resolution.
Q9.
What external refresh rate is offered on the LTE 5000 models with 1024x768
resolution display panels?
A9.
The LTE 5000 supports multiple refresh rates up to a maximum of 72 Hz on an external
monitor.
Q10. Most DOS-based text and graphics uses only 640x480 pixels. It creates a black band
around the screen when using a 1024x768 display panel. Can this text and graphics
be stretched on a 1024x768 panel?
A10. Yes, DOS-based 640x480 text and graphics images on a 1024x768 panel can be stretched
to 800x600 pixels. You will still see a black band around the screen but much smaller than
the one when no text-stretching is used.
Q11. How can the text-stretch feature described above be obtained?
A11. This feature is standard on the LTE 5000, which models To toggle this feature On and Off,
please press “FN” and “T” key simultaneously from the notebook keyboard.
Q12. Can the new 1024x768 panel and graphics controller use a simultaneous display with
an external monitor or overhead panel?
A12. The simultaneous display is supported with an external 1024x768 monitor or an overhead
1024x768 panel. However, simultaneous display is not supported when using MPEG and
TV Video adapter.
EXPANSION BASES
Q13. Why did Compaq develop the new MultiBay-ISA Expansion Base?
A13. The MultiBay-ISA Expansion Base is designed to provide ISA expansion support for the
LTE 5000 in addition to a high performance audio system called Compaq PremierSound
Audio. The MultiBay-ISA Expansion Base offers (1) full length ISA expansion slot.
Q14. Will the original MultiBay Expansion Base still be offered?
A14. Yes, both MultiBay Expansion base products will be offered
Q15. What feature differences are there between the original MultiBay Expansion Base
and the new MultiBay-ISA Expansion Base?
A15. The new MultiBay-ISA Expansion Base offers the same support as the original MultiBay
Expansion Base with the addition of (1) full length ISA expansion slot, a high performance
audio system called Compaq PremierSound.
Q16. Does the new MultiBay-ISA Expansion Base look different?
A16. Yes, it is a little taller. The ISA slot compartment and audio components were added to the
bottom of the original design therefore raising the profile slightly.
