VOLUME CONTROL

All system and application functions have mul-
tiple volume controls which interact with each
other. There is the hardware volume control on
the right side panel of your notebook. There is
a volume control in the ESS AudioRack, your
operating system Sound Control panel and any
other application with sound.
Each setting source puts an upper limit on the
volume which can be set by the other sources.
For example if the hardware volume control is
turned all the way down, your software volume
control settings have no effect. By the same
token, if the ESS AudioRack has the sound
turned off, adjusting the hardware or other
application software volume settings will not
produce sound. One easy operating method is
to use the hardware and ESS AudioRack volume
34
controls to set an upper limit on sound level
and then make fine adjustments with other
application software.
C A U T I O N
The ESS AudioRack volume setting
sets the maximum volume level of
the hardware volume control knob.
P O I N T
Windows NT 4.0 does not support the
ESS AudioRack application.

BATTERIES

The Lithium ion batteries are rechargeable. Your
notebook can be operated on the primary
Lithium ion battery alone or in a dual battery
configuration with a second Lithium ion bat-
tery. A built-in bridge battery allows a charged
Lithium ion battery to be exchanged for a dis-
charged one by "warm-swapping". To warm-
swap, have a charged battery ready, put your
notebook in Suspend mode, remove the low
battery and quickly insert a charged battery.
(See page 35 for more information about the
bridge battery.)
The Lithium ion battery operating time may
become shorter if it is used under the
following conditions:
When used at temperatures that exceed a
low of 5°C or a high of 35°C. High tempera-
tures not only reduce charging efficiency,
but can also cause battery deterioration.
(The Charging icon on the Status Indicator
panel will flash when you try to charge
a battery that is outside its operating
temperature range.)
The battery charging capacity is reduced as
the battery ages. If your battery is running low
quickly, you should replace it with a new one.
When using a high current device such as a
modem, a LAN card, a CD-ROM drive, or
the hard drive frequently.
