CHAPTER 4: USING YOUR NOTEBOOK
Stealth Mode
Stealth Mode helps you switch your notebook to a low power state to facilitate the
use of a 65 W auto/air adapter. This state is well suited for casual use such as e-mail,
music/video/DVD playback. Stealth mode will switch the notebook from discrete to
integrated graphics mode, and also incorporate additional system power savings
to extend battery life and reduce power consumption. Switching into and out of
Stealth mode may require a reboot depending on your system configuration and
the operating system.
You can access Stealth Mode by gently touching the touch control located near the
top of the keyboard. The control will illuminate to full brightness until the function
is deactivated. For the exact location of the control, refer to the “Top View Features”
diagram on page 1

Using Removable Media and Cards
Please observe the safety measures below:
When the ExpressCard is not inserted into the ExpressCard slot, make sure this
slot is covered by the spring-loaded slot door attached to your notebook. The
ExpressCard slot door protects the unused slot from dust and other particles.
When no card (SD/MMC/MS Cards) is inserted into the media slot, make sure that
the blank card that shipped with your notebook is inserted in this slot. The blank
card protects the unused slot from dust and other particles. When inserting the
blank card, make sure that the arrow on the card is on the top. Inserting the blank
card upside down may cause damage to your notebook.
Using the Optical Drive
Your notebook has a slot load optical drive. Depending on the configuration
ordered, your notebook is configured with one or more of the following drive types.
