DANGER
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, do not connect the telephone cable to the Ethernet connector.
You can only connect an Ethernet cable to this connector.
Two indicators, to the upper right and left of the connector, show the status of the network connection.
When your computer connects to a LAN and a session with the network is available, the upper left indicator
is steady green. While data is being transmitted, the upper right indicator blinks yellow.

To listen to the sound from your computer, connect a headphone or a headset that has a 3.5 mm 4-pole plug
to the combo audio connector.
Notes:
• If you are using a headset with a function switch, do not press this switch while using the headset. If
you press the switch, the headset microphone will be disabled, and the integrated microphones on
the computer will be enabled instead.
• The combo audio connector does not support a conventional microphone. For more information, see
