Exploring Your Computer’s Features

Web Camera

(Available on certain models)

Your computer may come with a built-in Web Camera. With this

Web Camera you can do the following:

❖ Take pictures and record videos with your computer

❖ Chat with others and have them see you while using instant

messaging (IM) programs

❖ Have video conference calls

To E-mail, instant message or video conference, you must be

connected to the Internet.

Depending on your computer model, the process of sending E-mail,

taking pictures or recording video messages may vary.

The Web Camera software, by default, should already be running in

the Notification Area.

Using PC Cards

TECHNICAL NOTE: For PCMCIA-compatible PC Cards, check the

package to make sure they conform to the PCMCIA 2.1 standard (or

later). Other cards may work with your computer, but are likely to be

much more difficult to set up and use.

Your computer comes with a PC Card slot and supports two types

of PC Cards that you can install:

❖ Type I cards

❖ Type II cards

The PC Card slot supports hot swapping, which allows you to

replace one PC Card with another while the computer is on.

Inserting a PC Card

Before you insert a PC Card, refer to the documentation that comes

with the card to see if you need to do anything before you insert it.

To insert a PC Card:

1 Locate the PC Card slot on the side of the computer.
