Volume Control
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook/Tablet PC has multiple
volume controls which interact with each other.
Any software that contains audio files will
also contain a volume control of its own. If
you install an external audio device that has
an independent volume control, the
hardware volume control and the software
volume control will interact with each other.
It should be noted that if you set your
software volume to Off, you will override
the external volume control setting.
CONTROLLING THE VOLUME
The volume can be controlled in several different ways:
Volume can be set from within the Volume Control on
■
the Taskbar.
Volume can be controlled with the [F8] and [F9] func-
■
tions keys. Pressing [F8] repeatedly while holding [Fn]
will decrease the volume of your notebook/Tablet PC.
Pressing [F9] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will
increase the volume of your notebook/Tablet PC.
There are twenty-six levels through which
the function keys cycle.
Volume can be controlled by many volume controls
■
that are set within individual applications.
Certain external audio devices you might connect to
■
your system may have hardware volume controls.
Each source discussed above puts an upper limit on
■
the volume level that must then be followed by the
other sources.
We recommend that you experiment with the various
volume controls to discover the optimal sound level.
