Using external speakers or headphones
Instead of using the internal speaker, you can connect
headphones or a pair of external stereo speakers
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.
To adjust the volume:
❖
For external speakers, use the volume controls on each
speaker.
❖
For headphones, use the Fn +1 (volume decrease) and
Fn+2 (volume increase) key combinations.
Before using headphones to listen to an audio CD, turn the
volume dial down. Playing the CD with the volume set too
high could damage your ears.
TECHNICAL NOTE: Use amplified speakers that require an
external power source. Other types of speakers will be
inadequate to produce sound from the computer.
