Volume Control

Your Fujitsu LifeBook has multiple volume controls
which interact with each other.
C A U T I O N
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 LifeBook. Press-
ing [F9] repeatedly while holding [FN] will increase
the volume of your LifeBook.
P O I N T
There are seventeen 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.
