Using tablet mode

2Using 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 dial.

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

1Press the display panel release button and lift the display panel.

2Slide the power switch to the left and hold it until the on/ off light on the system indicator panel glows green, depending on your model—about one second.
