and exit modem applications when you are not using them.
■ Disconnect external devices that you are not using if they are
not plugged into an external power source.
■ Stop or remove any optional external media cards that you are
not using.
■ Remove a CD or DVD that you are not using.
■ Disable or remove an inserted digital card.
■ Use the fn+f7 hotkeys to reduce screen brightness.

speakers.
