Add-On Devices

To Connect an Audio Device

You can plug in an external microphone, external speakers, or headphones. In addition, if you connect your notebook to the port replicator, you can plug in a stereo source (such as a CD player) or a device that accepts digital audio (such as a digital audio recorder).

ÄCAUTION: The headphone and line-in jacks are three-terminal stereo jacks. They are not compatible with two-terminal mono plugs. Connecting a mono plug into either of these jacks may damage the notebook.

»Match your notebook to one of the following illustrations and locate the audio ports on your notebook. Attach the audio cable to the corresponding audio port on the notebook or port replicator.
