External Audio Connections
Your Notebook has an integrated stereo speaker so you can always reproduce
sound without additional devices. Using the external connections provides you
with an ideal opportunity to connect your Notebook to external devices.
The
Fn + 11
and
Fn + 12
keyboard shortcut enables you to adjust the volume.
WARNING!
Excessive volume when using headphones or earphones can damage
your hearing. Before pressing play, set the volume to the lowest set-
ting. Start playback and increase the volume to a comfortable level.
Changing the basic settings of the equaliser can also increase the vol-
ume and thus cause permanent damage to your hearing. Changing
the drivers, software, equaliser, operating system, etc., can also lead
to an increase in the volume and thus cause permanent damage to
your hearing.
Listening to a device at high volumes for an extended period via head-
phones/earphones can damage your hearing.
