3: Fitting Hardware Options
Power button (Incorporating Power On Indicator)
Pressing the Power Button immediately turns the computer on or off.
If you switch the computer off wait about five seconds before
switching on again. When the RM One is switched on, the power
button will be surrounded by a ring of blue light. This changes to red
when the RM One is in standby mode.
Caution:
Think before you press the power switch. Restarting your computer
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 computer is accessing the hard disk. You
should avoid rotating the RM One when this indicator is lit as you may
damage the hard disk.
Front Panel Multimedia Functions
The RM 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. Please
note when the headphones are attached, no audio will be heard from
the built in speaker system. The volume control allows you to
increase or decrease the volume of the built in speaker system or
headphones. Rotate right to increase the volume, or left to decrease
it.
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.
Monitor Functions
The Monitor Power button allows you to switch off the monitor
and
audio without switching off the whole system. This is useful in a
classroom environment when attention should be focussed on the
teacher, not the RM One!
