Smart Card
A Smart Card is a credit card sized plastic card. An extremely thin
integrated circuit (IC chip) is embedded into the card on which information
can be recorded. These cards can be used for a wide variety of
applications including telephone related and electronic monetary payments.
This section contains information on the proper use of the Smart Card slot,
and it is strongly recommended that you read it before operating the
computer.
Some models are equipped with a Smart Card slot.
