32 - Display Panel
Using the System as a Tablet
If you would like to use the system as a tablet, perform the following steps.
1 Lift the display until it is perpendicular to the keyboard. (Figure 9).
2 When the display is perpendicular to the keyboard, rotate it 180 degrees in either direction so that it is facing
backwards.
3 Holding the top edge of the display panel, pull it forward until it is lying atop the keyboard.
To return the system to notebook configuration:
1 Lift the display until it is perpendicular to the keyboard.
2 When the display is perpendicular to the keyboard, rotate it 180 degrees in the opposite direction from which
you initially turned it (i.e., return it to its original position) so that it faces forward.

• The display can be rotated in either direction, but when returning the system to notebook mode,
be sure to turn it back to its original position (i.e., the reverse of how you turned it when you
opened it). Turning the display in the incorrect direction could cause hinge damage. The screen
should rotate easily; if it does not rotate easily, you may be turning it in the wrong direction.
• In the following step, be sure to position the display perpendicular to the keyboard, otherwise
the keyboard or display cover could get scratched.
