Volume Control
Your Fujitsu LifeBook notebook has multiple volume
controls which interact with each other.
CONTROLLING THE VOLUME
The volume can be controlled in several different ways:
■ Volume can be set using the volume buttons to the
right of the application buttons above the left of the
keyboard. The buttons are labeled “- Vol ” and “Vol +”.
(Figure 2-16)
Figure 2-16 Volume buttons
■ Volume can be set from within the Volume Control on
the Taskbar.
■ Volume can be controlled with the F8 and F9 func-
tions keys. Pressing [F8] repeatedly while holding [Fn]
will decrease the volume of your notebook. Pressing
[F9] repeatedly while holding [Fn] will increase the
volume of your notebook.
■ Volume can be controlled by many volume controls
that are set within individual applications.
■ Certain external audio devices you might connect to
your system may have hardware volume controls.
Each source discussed above puts an upper limit on the
volume level that must then be followed by the other
sources.
We recommend that you experiment with the various
volume controls to discover the optimal sound level.
Any software that contains audio files will
also contain a volume control of its own. If
you install an external audio device that
has an independent volume control, the
hardware volume control and the software
volume control will interact with each
other. It should be noted that if you set
your software volume to Off, you will
override the external volume control
setting.
