To Adjust The Volume - HP Notebook PC Reference Manual

The computer has an LCD display, which behaves differently from a normal computer
monitor. If you change the display resolution, the desktop changes size, but the objects on
it do not. You normally won't change the resolution except to use an external monitor.
Changing icon and label sizes
To enlarge icons and labels on your screen when using a high-resolution display, use HP
Desktop Zoom.
• Click Start, Programs (or All Programs), Hewlett-Packard, Notebook, Desktop Zoom,
Desktop Zoom. If this program is not installed on your computer, you can download it
from the HP Business Support Web site (www.hp.com/go/bizsupport).
Using an external monitor
If you want, you can attach an external monitor to your notebook computer. See "To use
an external monitor" on page 86.

To adjust the volume

side of the computer. The audio-off light turns on when the speakers are
disconnected.
