Add-On Devices Connecting External Devices Note CAUTION To connect a USB device Your computer's universal serial bus (USB) provides a bi-directional serial interface for adding peripheral devices such as game controllers, serial and parallel ports, and scanners on a single bus. • Attach the device's USB cable to one of the USB ports. Windows automatically recognizes the USB device. Some USB devices can be connected to the computer in series-this is called a daisy-chain connection. If you have problems making this connection, contact the device manufacturer and the HP Business Support Web site (www.hp.com/go/bizsupport) for the latest version of the driver for the device. To connect an audio device If your model has a built-in microphone-look for a microphone icon near the right click button on the touch pad-you can use it to record voice, sound, and music. You can also plug in an external microphone, external speakers, or headphones. In addition, if you connect your computer 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). 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 computer.

To connect a USB device
Your computer’s universal serial bus (USB) provides a bi-directional serial interface for
adding peripheral devices such as game controllers, serial and parallel ports, and scanners
on a single bus.
Attach the device’s USB cable to one of the USB ports. Windows automatically
recognizes the USB device. Some USB devices can be connected to the computer in
series—this is called a daisy-chain connection.
Note
If you have problems making this connection, contact the device manufacturer and the
HP Business Support Web site (www.hp.com/go/bizsupport) for the latest version of the
driver for the device.
To connect an audio device
If your model has a built-in microphone—look for a microphone icon near the right click
button on the touch pad—you can use it to record voice, sound, and music. You can also
plug in an external microphone, external speakers, or headphones. In addition, if you
connect your computer 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).
CAUTION
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 computer.
