Display
This notebook features a 13.3-inch, XGA, outdoor-viewable,
color display with an integrated touch screen. You can
start programs and input data on the touch screen using
an approved pen (stylus) that comes with the device. The
Colorvue™ Transmissive display technology uses a built-in
backlight for easy reading in most ambient light conditions.
DynaVue
®
display technology provides improved outdoor
visibility and even works well in sunlight.
CAUTION
To avoid damaging the display, do not slam it
when you close it. Also, do not place any object on top of the
device when the display is closed.

Insert one tether loop through one of the holes on the end
of the stylus, then pull it back through the adjacent hole.
