Preface
About this Manual
This manual describes the operation of your Texas Instruments TravelMate 2000 Notebook Computer. We have designed this
manual so that you can locate information quickly and easily. Each chapter begins with a title page that gives the major sections
in the chapter.
Keyboard keys are listed several ways in this manual, depending on the number of keys you must press to produce a character
or function. For example, some key fronts on the keyboard are labeled with blue to indicate their use only in conjunction with
the
Fn
key.
Some keys (for example,
Break
and
Num Lk)
must be pressed in conjunction with another key (for example,
Ctrl
and
Fn)
to
perform their action. The text in this manual refers to these keys according to their function, preceded by the additional key you
must also press. Software programs use various key combinations; refer to your software program manual for specific
information.
The word floppy is used in this manual to refer to diskettes, microdiskettes, disks, and other terms commonly used to describe a
removable, nonvolatile, magnetic-media diskette. The words disk and diskette are used in direct quotations, for example, in
describing a displayed error message, setup menu, etc.
