DISPLAY PANEL
Opening the Display Panel
Lifting the latch releases the top of the display
panel from the front of the notebook body.
When the display panel is released it pops up
slightly to make it easier to open. Lift the dis-
play panel backward until the screen is at a
comfortable viewing angle. (Figure 2-2.)
Adjusting the Display Panel
Before you turn on your notebook, you may
want to adjust the brightness level of the screen.
Start with the brightness control slider (located
directly under the display screen) in the middle
position. (Figure 2-3.)
You may need to adjust the brightness levels
after you start your notebook and periodically
for different operating environments.
P O I N T
The higher the brightness level, the more
power the notebook will consume and
the faster your batteries will discharge.
For maximum battery life, make sure that
the brightness is set as low as possible.
ADJUSTING THE KEYBOARD ANGLE
On the bottom of your notebook, near the
back, are a pair of feet which flip down and
hold the back of the notebook about 6° higher
than the front when resting on a flat surface.
They are designed to make it more comfortable
to use the keyboard with your notebook. The
feet must be folded flat against the bottom
of the notebook when opening or using the
CD-ROM drive or it will not open or
operate properly.

C A U T I O N
Do not operate your CD-ROM drive
or attempt to open the tray unless your
notebook is sitting on a flat surface and
the adjustment feet are folded against
the bottom of the notebook. Using a
CD-ROM drive when it is not level
may damage the drive or prevent
proper operation.
