not using.
❏
Remove an optical disc that you are not using.
❏
Disable or remove an inserted digital card.
❏
Turn off a device connected to the S-Video–out jack.
■
Use optional, externally powered speakers instead of the
internal speakers whenever possible. When you use the
internal speakers, minimize system volume. Volume can be
adjusted with the volume buttons.
■
Minimize screen brightness.
❏
To decrease screen brightness, press the
fn+f7
hotkey.
❏
