Wireles s Activity Indicator
A blue LED that is on steady whenever any wireless radio is transmitting.
Solid-State Drive Activity Indicator
A blue LED that is on intermittently when the SSD is being accessed.
Charging/Fault Indicator
A dual LED that can be amber or red and has the following conditions:
• Off when the computer is off.
• Off when the computer is powered on, no faults are detected and the batteries are fully
charged.
• A steady amber color when external power is connected and the batteries are charging.
• Flashing at a 1 second rate when charging has stopped due to battery temperature.
• A steady red color if a power system fault occurs such as an overvoltage, undervoltage
or overcurrent condition or a battery charger or battery internal failure.
Power On Indicator
A blue LED that is on steady whenever power is applied to the ARMOR X7 and is off when
power is shut down.
Ambient Light Sensor (ALS)
The ALS is located on the indicator panel (see Figure 4). It senses changes in surrounding light
levels and adjusts the display brightness accordingly. If the surrounding light level increases, the
display brightness will increase proportionally; if the light level decreases, the display brightness
will decrease proportionally.
Speaker
A single high-volume speaker is located on the top left of the front panel, as shown in Figure 2.
Noise Cancelling Stereo Microphones
Two noise-canceling microphones are located at the bottom of the front panel. These
microphones support simultaneous analog and 4-channel digital recording.
