If you ordered speakers with your system, connect them as illustrated on the
Getting
Started
sheet that came with your system. Also refer to the documentation that came
with the speakers.
Subwoofer frequencies are nondirectional. Therefore the subwoofer does not need to
be placed in a particular relationship to the satellite speakers. Dell recommends that
you place the subwoofer on the floor under a desk.
NOTE: Avoid placing speakers or a subwoofer near the monitor. The magnetic field
they generate may degrade the picture.
To adjust the volume of the speakers, use the volume knob on the front of the
speaker. To adjust the volume of the signal being produced by the computer, click the
yellow speaker icon at the bottom right of your screen. A small window appears with
a slidebar. Click and hold the slidebar; then move it up to increase the volume or down
to decrease the volume.
When you adjust the volume knob on some Universal Serial Bus (USB) speakers, a
window pops up on your screen that provides various audio controls. For information
on using this interface, refer to the documentation that came with the speakers.

Most printers come with specific instructions for connection and installation of neces-
sary software and drivers. Follow the instructions that came with your printer. If
instructions are not available, follow these general steps:
1. Turn off the computer and any attached devices.
2. Connect the printer cables.
Connect the data cable between the printer and the appropriate port on your
computer. The parallel port with the printer icon is LPT1, and is the most com-
monly used printer port. The serial port, marked with “I/O,” is the COM port. If
you are unable to determine which port to use, contact the printer manufacturer.
Connect the power cable to an electrical outlet.
