The built-in speaker is turned off. Press Fn+F3 to turn on the speaker.

The speaker volume is turned to the minimum. Press Fn+F4, and then press or to increase the volume.

If your computer is powered by the battery, check that the battery is connected properly and that it is charged.

If you have connected a headphone or an audio cable to the Headphone connector, disconnect the cable.

My modem does not work

Check that the phone line is plugged into the line jack. See “Connecting a Phone Line” on page 44 for details.

Check that the phone line is working. You can check the line by plugging in an ordinary phone and listening for a dial tone.

Check that the phone number the program is dialing is correct.

Check that the software you are using is compatible with the computer modem. (All preinstalled programs are compatible.) Call the software publisher.

My modem connection is slow

The computer’s modem uses K56flexTM technology/V.90. Many factors influence modem connection speed, including telephone line noise or compatibility with telephone equipment (such as fax machines or other modems). If you think your modem is not connecting properly to other PC-based modems, fax machines, or your Internet Service Provider, check the following:

Have your phone company check that your phone line is free from any line noise.

If your problem is fax-related, check that there are no problems with the fax machine you are calling and that it is compatible with fax modems.

If you are having a problem connecting with your Internet Service Provider, check that the ISP is not experiencing technical problems.

If you have a second phone line available, try connecting the modem to that line.
