Welcome to the Notebook PC 

Congratulations on your purchase of the Notebook PC. Your Notebook 
features the latest advances in portable computing technology. The 
Notebook’s modular design provides maximum expandability without 
compromising portability. The high-performance CPU and enhanced IDE 
hard drive provides you with extra processing power for handling 
complex graphics and running large programs.   

Getting to Know Your Computer 

Opening the LCD Panel 

At the front of the Notebook you will find a retaining latch on the display 
panel that locks the display in closed position when the Notebook is not 
in use. 

 

  

To avoid damage to the display panel: 
1. Try not to slam the display upon closing it. 
2. Try not to place any object on top when it is closed or open. 
3. Be sure the system is turned off or in suspend mode before you 
close the display panel.
