Volume Control
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has multiple volume controls which interact with each other.
•
Volume can be controlled with the F8 and F9 functions keys. Pressing [F8] repeatedly while holding
[Fn] will decrease the volume of your notebook. Pressing [F9] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will
increase the volume of your notebook.
•
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 method puts an upper limit on the volume level that must then be followed by the other methods.
We recommend that you experiment with the various volume controls to discover the optimal sound level.
