2.3: General Summary
Power button (Incorporating Power-ON Indicator)
Pressing the Power Button immediately turns the notebook on. If you
switch the notebook off wait about five seconds before switching on again.
When the RM Mobile One is switched on, the power button will be
surrounded by a ring of blue light. This light flashes when the RM Mobile
One is in standby mode.
CAUTION: Think before you press the power switch. Restarting your
notebook means you lose all un-saved work. If possible, save your work and
quit from any applications, which you are running.
Hard Disk Activity Indicator
This illuminates when the notebook is accessing the hard disk. You should
avoid moving the RM Mobile One when this indicator is lit as you may
damage the hard disk.
Multimedia Functions
The RM Mobile One is equipped with several easily accessible multimedia
functions. The Microphone socket allows you to attach a standard PC
microphone for recording voice and sounds, or using dictation software. The
Headphone socket allows you to attach a set of stereo headphones for
listening to sounds without disturbing others.
You can use the USB and Firewire sockets to connect any USB powered
external device such as a USB memory pen or digital camera. Some more
power hungry devices such as external CD writer drives may require an
external power source.
Closing the lid of the notebook allows you to switch off the screen without
switching off the whole system. This is useful in a classroom environment
when attention should be focussed on the teacher, not the RM Mobile One!
