Exploring Your Computer’s Features
Using tablet mode
Using external speakers or headphones
Your computer is equipped with a full stereo sound system with
internal speakers. Instead of using the internal speakers, you can
connect headphones or a pair of external stereo speakers.
Before putting on headphones to listen, turn the volume down. Do
not set the volume too high when using headphones. Continuous
exposure to loud sound can harm your hearing.
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 computer.
To play back sound files through external speakers or headphones:
1
Locate the headphone jack on the computer.
2
Using any necessary adapters, plug the cable from the
headphones or external speakers into the headphone jack.
The headphone jack requires a 16-ohm stereo mini-jack.
To adjust the volume:
❖
For external speakers, use the volume controls on each speaker.
❖
For headphones, use the computer’s volume control.
Using tablet mode
One of your computer’s features is a convertible display that allows
you to use the screen much as you would a writing tablet.
Your computer came with applications already installed specifically
designed to work with the tablet feature of the system. For more
information on those applications, see the documentation provided
with them.
Preparing to use the tablet
1
Press the display panel release button and lift the display panel.
2
Slide the power switch to the right and hold it until the on/off
light on the system indicator panel glows green, depending on
your model—about one second.
3
Rotate the display panel
clockwise
180
o
(degrees). When you
complete this task, the screen faces away from the keyboard.
