Your tablet is equipped with internal speakers. To increase or
decrease the volume, use the volume control buttons on the side of
your tablet.
You can silence your tablet, so that your notifications are
announced with a vibration instead of a tone. To place your tablet
into Silent mode, use the volume decrease button to turn the volume
down completely. The lowest setting places your tablet into Silent
mode.
Using external speakers or headphones
Instead of using the internal speakers, you can connect headphones
or a pair of external stereo speakers.
Do not set the volume too high on this device or when using
headphones. Continuous exposure to loud sound can harm your
hearing. Discontinue use and consult a physician if you experience
any hearing discomfort.
TECHNICAL NOTE: When using amplified speakers, use speakers
that require an external power source. Other types of speakers will be
inadequate to produce sound from the device.
