listen to the sound from the computer.

press the switch, the headset microphone is disabled, and the integrated microphones on the computer is

You can use the USB 3.0 connectors to connect USB-compatible devices, such as a USB keyboard, USB
mouse, USB storage device, or USB printer.

Otherwise the connector might get damaged.
3 HDMI connector
The High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) connector is a digital audio and video interface. It enables
you to connect your computer to a compatible digital audio device or video monitor, such as a DVD player
or a high-definition television (HDTV).
4 Ethernet connector
The Ethernet connector enables you to connect the computer to a local area network (LAN).
DANGER
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do not connect the telephone cable to the Ethernet connector.

instead of the one on the computer.
