To connect a USB device

The universal serial buses (USB) on the computer and expansion base provide a
bi-directional serial interface for adding peripheral devices such as a mouse, keyboard,
game controller, serial and parallel port, and scanner on a single bus.
• Attach the device's USB cable to a USB port. Windows automatically recognizes the
USB device. Some USB devices can be connected to the computer in series—this is
called a daisy-chain connection.
If you have problems making this connection, contact the device manufacturer and the
HP Business Support web site (www.hp.com/go/bizsupport) for the latest version of the
driver for the device.

To connect an audio device

Your computer includes a built-in microphone (in front of the right display hinge) that
you can use to record voice, sound, and music. You can also plug in headphones, external
speakers, an external microphone, or—if docked—a stereo input source (such as a CD
player).
The audio jacks are three-terminal stereo jacks. They are not compatible with two-
terminal mono plugs. Connecting a mono plug into the speaker-out jack may
damage your notebook.
• Attach the audio cable to the corresponding audio port on the computer or expansion
base.
When you plug a device into the external microphone port, the built-in microphone
automatically turns off. When you plug a device into the audio out port, the built-in
speakers automatically turn off.
