Volume Control
Your Fujitsu notebook has multiple volume controls which interact with each other.
Controlling the Volume
The volume can be controlled in several different ways:
•
Volume can be set from within the Volume Control in the Notification Area at the bottom right of
your screen.
•
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 changed by opening the Control Panel and selecting Windows Mobility Center.
From there, you can either mute or adjust the sound in the Volume area.
•
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.
