Using a computer security lock

A security keylock notch, located on the rear of the computer, lets you connect a Kensington-compatible computer security lock.

Adjusting the volume

Adjusting the volume on the computer is as easy as pressing some buttons. See "Hotkeys" on page 14 for more information on adjusting the speaker volume.
