headphones or external speakers into the jack.
The headphone jack requires a 16-ohm stereo mini-jack.
To adjust the volume:
❖ For external speakers, use the volume controls on each
speaker.
❖ For headphones, use the computer’s volume control dial.
Using PC Cards
TECHNICAL NOTE: For PCMCIA-compatible PC Cards, check
the package to make sure they conform to the PCMCIA 2.1
standard (or later). Other cards may work with your computer,
but are likely to be much more difficult to set up and use.
Your notebook computer comes with a PC Card slot and
supports two types of PC Cards that you can install:
❖ Type I cards
❖ Type II cards
The PC Card slot supports hot swapping, which allows you to
replace one PC Card with another while the computer is on.
Inserting a PC Card
Before you insert a PC Card, refer to the documentation that
comes with the card to see if you need to do anything before
you insert it.
You can only use PC Cards in the top slot or ExpressCards in
the bottom slot. You cannot insert a PC Card into the
ExpressCard slot (the bottom slot), nor can you insert an
ExpressCard into the PC Card slot (the top slot).
