inner packaging. If you
later need to ship or store
the system, you will find these
handy to have. All software is
preloaded onto the hard drive of
your WinBook notebook. Copies

or drivers to your system.
14

The Right Side (Figure 1.2)
The CD-ROM/DVD-ROM Drive is built into the system. To open
the drive, turn on the system and press the release button. The tray
will slide open.
The AC Connector should only be used with the proper AC adapter
supplied by WinBoo .
The Rear (Figure 1.3)
The Cooling Fan Vent admits air into your WinBoo noteboo and
eeps the interior within proper operating temperatures. Do not bloc this
vent when the WinBoo noteboo is in use. Do not operate your WinBoo
noteboo inside a tight-fitting cover or case that bloc s the cooling vent.
The Kensington Lock lot allows you to connect a special computer loc
to secure your system. You can purchase a loc at most computer retailers.
This loc is referred to as a Kensington loc .

Although you can con-
nect up to 127 devices
through the USB port,
not all USB devices have a
pass-through to permit a chain
of connected devices. You might
need to obtain a USB hub to
permit you to connect multiple
devices into a single port.

The Left Side (Figure 1.4)
The Cooling Fan Vent admits air into your WinBoo noteboo and eeps
the interior within proper operating temperatures. Do not bloc this vent
when the WinBoo noteboo is in use. Do not operate your WinBoo
noteboo inside a tight-fitting cover or case that bloc s the cooling vent.
The IEEE1394 or Firewire Port can be used to connect a variety
of devices to your WinBoo . These include many storage devices such
as external hard drives and optical drives as well as digital cameras
and other electronic devices.
The PCMCIA (PC Card) lot allows you to connect Type I or II cards
to your system. Your WinBoo noteboo will accept one Type I or Type
II card. For more information about PCMCIA cards, see Chapter 6.
The PCMCIA Eject Button allows you to remove the PC Card from
your system.

User’s Manual
The Modem Port is an internal 56K voice/fax/data modem. You will
connect your computer to your phone line through this port. This jac
does not provide a pass-through option for connecting a phone to the
same line. You can obtain adapters that will allow you to connect a phone
to the same line as your WinBoo noteboo .
The Microphone Jack allows you to receive monophonic input from
an external microphone. Use of an external microphone will disable the
built-in microphone. It is recommended that you purchase an external
microphone for applications such as speech recognition that require
precise input quality.
The Audio Line Out Jack allows you to direct audio output to a stereo
headphone, powered external spea ers or an earphone set. You will need
to use a 1/8” phono plug for this connection. If your spea ers or earphones
have a different plug, you will need to obtain an adapter from your local
retailer. Use of a headphone or external spea ers will disable the integrat-
ed spea ers.
Notebook tatus L.E.D. Indicators provide a means for chec ing the
status of your system. There are three LED indicators on the left edge
of the system that display the following information (left to right):
Power On: A green light indicates that the noteboo power is on.
Battery Charge: When charging this indicator is orange. Once a full
charge has been attained the indicator changes to green.
uspend Mode: This indicator will light green when the noteboo
is in suspend mode.
