Headphone Jack
The headphone jack allows you to connect headphones or powered external speakers, or SPDIF-compatible devices
to your LIFEBOOK notebook. Your headphones or speakers must be equipped with a 1/8” (3.5 mm) stereo mini-plug.
To connect headphones, speakers, or SPDIF devices, simply align the connector with the port opening, then push the
connector into the port until it is seated
.
Microphone Jack
The microphone jack allows you to connect an external stereo microphone. Your microphone must be equipped with
a 1/8”(3.5 mm) mono mini-plug in order to fit into the microphone jack of your LIFEBOOK. In order to connect a
microphone, simply align the connector with the port opening, then push the connector into the port until it is seated.
Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports allow you to connect USB devices
such as pointing devices, keyboards and speakers. There are four
USB ports (three USB 3.0 on the left side and one eSATA/USB 2.0
Combo port on the right side on the right side). Note that the USB
3.0 port on the left side closest to the front of the system has
Anytime USB Charge* capability, meaning you can charge an
external device from this port, even when the system is powered
down.
* The Anytime USB Charge feature can be enabled and disabled from the BIOS Setup
Utility (See “BIOS Setup Utility” on page 37) There are three possible settings for this
feature: “Disable Anytime USB Charge function”, “Only enable Anytime USB Charge
function with AC Adapter”, and “Enable Anytime USB Charge function with AC Adapter or
battery”. Note that if the setting is selected, the function will eventually drain the
battery if the AC Adapter is not plugged in.
