Internal Stereo Speakers
The internal stereo speakers support playback of recorded sounds,
audio for games and business programs, and line-out devices such
as a CD player, tape deck, or stereo tuner.
If external speakers or headphones are connected to the stereo
speaker/headphone jack on the computer, the internal speakers are
disabled.
If the computer is docked in the either of the expansion bases,
which have their own internal speakers, the computer internal
speakers are disabled. If external speakers are connected to the
expansion base, the expansion base internal speakers are disabled.
Refer to Chapter 5, "Connecting External Desktop Equipment," for
information about docking the computer.
The Fn+F5 speaker/headphone hotkey toggles off and on the
internal speakers or external speakers or headphones connected to
the computer or to either of the expansion bases.
CAUTION: Turning the speakers/headphones off turns off the low-
battery warning beeps. Turning the volume control down turns down the
volume of the low-battery warning beeps.
Volume Control
The volume control on the left side of the computer controls the
volume to the internal speakers in the notebook and expansion
bases or to external speakers or headphones connected to the stereo
speaker/headphone jack on the computer or the expansion base.
Volume is also controlled by Multimedia Properties. If the speaker
icon doesn’t appear in the lower-right corner of the taskbar, double-
click Multimedia in Control Panel and then click the option to show
volume control on the taskbar. Whenever you want to adjust
volume, you can turn the computer volume control or click the
speaker icon on the taskbar. For maximum volume, adjust both
volume controls to their highest point.
!
WARNING: To reduce the risk of personal injury, adjust the
volume control before putting on headphones.
