150 Exploring Your Computer's Features Using an expansion device 2 Plug the microphone cord into the microphone jack. 3 Turn on the microphone. The internal microphone is automatically disabled. Using an expansion device The expansion port is used to connect your computer to an expansion device. This is an excellent investment if you are using your computer both in and out of the office. When you use an expansion device, external devices such as an external monitor, external full-size keyboard, and a mouse remain connected to the expansion device while you are using your computer away from your desk. When you return to your desk, you simply reconnect your computer to the expansion device to gain immediate access to all the external devices, allowing you to access your network, print reports from your computer, or use a mouse. Connecting cables for each of these devices every time you return to the office can be time-consuming. For more information, see the accessories information package that comes with the device or visit accessories.toshiba.com.
