USING YOUR TABLET PC
■ Explanation of Indicators
Power Indicator: A steady green light indicates the computer is turned on; when the
computer is in Standby mode, the light will flash slowly. When the light is off, the
computer is either off or in Hibernate mode.
Hard Drive Access Indicator: A flashing green light indicates the computer is
accessing the hard drive.
Battery Indicator: A steady red light indicates the battery is charging. A flashing
red light indicates the battery is low. If the AC adapter is not connected at this time,
the red light will continue to flash until it goes out. This means that the battery has
run too low and is entering a protected state.
Wireless Network Indicator: When the wireless network is activated, the light will
shine green. When the wireless network is shut down, the light will go out.
Function Buttons That Can Be Used After Entering Windows
This product comes with 13 different function buttons that can be used after entering
Windows. To enable you to access your favorite applications quickly, some of these
13 function buttons even offer additional functions. You, the user, can define
functions for four of them, setting them to suit your individual needs and preferences.
Attention: The four directions on the Direction Ball (4 separate functions) together
with the Enter function count as 5 function buttons.
Each button has a built-in primary function. However, some buttons can also have
another function at the same time. These extra functions are called secondary
functions. Of the 13 buttons, you may assign your personal secondary functions to
four.
When you start to operate your computer, you should understand the following
two types of button functions:
1. Primary functions: Pre-set system functions. There is no way for you to reset
these. The icon to the side of the actual button represents the primary function.
2. Secondary functions: Additional functions accessed by pressing the [Fn]
button: some are user-programmable and some have already been assigned.
When the Windows desktop icon ICON appears on the taskbar in the lower
right-hand corner of the screen, both kinds of functions described above have
been assigned successfully and can be used. The different primary and
secondary function settings can help you use your Tablet PC and even improve
your work performance.
