  1. 2. A port on a mobile device that enables devices to exchange data without using cables.
  2. 5. A wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short distances from fixed and mobile devices and for building personal area networks (PANs).
  3. 9. A space-based navigation system that provides location and time information in all weather conditions anywhere on or near the Earth where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites.
  4. 10. *BLANK* typically shares a portion of the system memory, although some notebooks have dedicated *BLANK*.
  5. 11. A semiconductor device that emits light when an electric current passes through it.
  6. 15. Extreme high or low temperatures shorten the *BLANK*.
  7. 16. A telecommunications interface standard used on an Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) to carry multiple DS0 voice and data transmissions between the network and a user.
  8. 20. A unique identifier that defines a subscriber in the wireless world, including the country and mobile network to which the subscriber belongs.
  9. 21. A type of authentication that requires multiple authentication credentials to verify the user's identity for a login or other transaction.
  10. 23. Provides mobile devices with access to network resources and software applications on their home network when they connect using other wireless or wired networks.
  11. 24. Always *BLANK* of batteries according to the manufacturer's directions. *BLANK* of batteries improperly might also be illegal.
  12. 28. Type of battery. Does not develop a memory. Twice the capacity of a nickel cadmium battery with significantly increased stability and safety.Has a shorter lifespan than nickel metal hydride
  13. 30. Type of battery. Does not develop a memory. 40% longer lifetime than nickel cadmium. Slightly more expensive than nickel cadmium.
  14. 31. A power supply that converts DC power from a computer to AC power for a screen.
  15. 34. Type of battery. Develops a memory and begins to store less power as it is repeatedly recharged. No longer used on new laptops. Very heat sensitive.
  16. 35. A system power state where the system appears to be off and power consumption is reduced to a lower level.
  17. 37. Most laptop *BLANKS* are not interchangeable between laptops because laptops require varying amounts of voltage and amperage and also have different plugs.
  18. 39. A proprietary computer bus and power connector created by Apple Inc. to replace its previous proprietary 30-pin dock connector.
  19. 40. Some notebooks have *BLANK* soldered onto the motherboard. On these systems, you will not be able to upgrade or replace the *BLANK*.
  20. 41. The light that illuminates an LCD screen so that images on the screen are visible.
  21. 43. A troubleshooting tool for Wi-Fi connectivity issues that identifies the number of broadcasting APs, displays the signal strength and channel of each wireless network, and obtains wireless network information such as the network type, data activity, and service provider.
  22. 45. *BLANK* built especially for laptop computers have lower power consumption requirements and produce less heat than desktop *BLANK*s.
  23. 46. A troubleshooting tool that identifies issues in installed apps.
  24. 47. A mobile communications standard used by 5G.
  25. 49. The package file format used by the Android operating system for the distribution and installation of mobile apps and middleware.
Down
  1. 1. A Growing technology that is still developing and is being implemented into the small electronic device market
  2. 3. Detects the physical movements of the tablet by measuring its linear acceleration in one dimension.
  3. 4. A *BLANK* requires an antenna. Connectors on the *BLANK* connect to the antenna, which is usually a wire routed into the lid and around the display. Without this your macbook would not be able to connect to the internet.
  4. 6. Consists of multiple components: bezel, backlight, and an inverter.
  5. 7. A type of authentication that relies on the unique physical characteristics of individuals to verify their identity for secure access.
  6. 8. A keyboard modifier key that allows the keyboard to perform additional functions without needing to add additional keys
  7. 12. A feature that measures the vertical and horizontal orientation of the device.
  8. 13. Attaches to a laptop computer and allows you to connect multiple devices such as a mouse, keyboard, printer, network connection, or additional monitors.
  9. 14. Many notebooks come with a base amount of *BLANK* built onto the motherboard and one or two additional slots. When replacing notebook *BLANK*, make sure the size of modules you purchase are supported by the system
  10. 17. A set of software development tools that allows the creation of applications for a certain software package, software framework, hardware platform, computer system, video game console, operating system, or similar development platform.
  11. 18. Connecting one device to another.
  12. 19. The plastic casing around an electronic device's screen.
  13. 22. A physical location where you can obtain wireless Internet access using a wireless local area network (WLAN) with a router connected to an internet service provider.
  14. 25. Some manufacturers recommend *BLANK* the battery when you first use it and every 3 months thereafter.
  15. 26. A database residing in a wireless device that contains information used during the system selection and acquisition process.
  16. 27. An electronic display system that switches pixels on and off using liquid crystals that rotate polarized light.
  17. 29. Most *BLANKS* are replaced by removing a cover on the bottom or side of the computer.
  18. 32. Under normal conditions, the battery will gradually lose capacity over time. If the battery the battery life is still low after calibration, the only solution is to *BLANK* the battery.
  19. 33. A troubleshooting tool for cellular network connectivity issues that reports signal strength, interference number of cell towers in the area, the location of each cell tower, and mobile network information such as the network type, data activity, and service provider.
  20. 36. A system power state where they system appears to be off, but volatile memory is refreshed and some components remain powered.
  21. 38. Used to remotely format a mobile device. It's a feature that's built into a lot of mobile devices, especially smart phones.
  22. 42. A unique number given to every single mobile phone. The number is typically found behind the battery.
