These methods cannot be configured by the user and should be known in case the Notebook PC should enter these states. The following temperatures represent the chassis temperature (not CPU). · The fan turns ON for active cooling when temperature reaches the safe upper limit. · The CPU decreases speed for passive cooling when the temperature exceeds the safe upper limit. · The system shuts down for critical cooling when temperature exceeds the maximum safe upper limit. 19 3 Getting Started Special Keyboard Functions Colored Hot Keys The following defines the colored hot keys on the Notebook PC's keyboard.

Implementing the IEEE 802. 11 standard for wireless LAN (WLAN), the optional built-in wireless LAN is capable of fast data transmission rates using Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technologies on 2. 4GHz/5GHz frequencies. The optional built-in wireless LAN is backward compatible with the earlier IEEE 802. 11 standards allowing seamless interfacing of wireless LAN standards. [. . . ]
