Using external speakers or headphones
Your computer is equipped with a stereo sound system.
Instead of using the internal speakers, you can connect
headphones or a pair of external stereo speakers.
TECHNICAL NOTE: Use amplified speakers that require an
external power source. Other types of speakers will be inadequate
to produce sound from the computer.
To play back sound files through external speakers or
headphones:
1 Locate the headphone jack on the computer.
2 Using any necessary adapters, plug the cable from the
headphones or external speakers into the headphone jack.
The headphone jack requires a 16-ohm stereo mini-jack.
Connecting a monitor, keyboard and mouse
By connecting an external monitor, external full-size
keyboard and a mouse, you can work with your notebook as
if it were a standard office desktop computer.
You can connect an external monitor to the RGB (monitor)
port.
You can connect an external USB-compatible keyboard and a
USB-compatible mouse to one of the USB ports. For more
information about connecting a mouse, see “Connecting a
mouse” on page 74.
