headphones into headphone jack “2”. When headphones are
plugged into jack “1”, the speaker is muted. It is not muted by
plugging headphones into headphone jack “2”.
2. Next, mount the speaker on the bar using the mounting clips.
Press the speaker's mounting clips onto the accessory bar until
they snap into place. Make sure that the accessory bar stays

Note: One performance of this procedure should eliminate any
distortion problems with a particular application. However,
different software applications sometimes require different output
settings, so you may need to adjust the output for each individual
application you use.
Adjusting the Volume
There are two ways you can adjust the speaker's volume. One way is
to use the volume control knob on the speaker itself .1/. The second
way to adjust the volume is by using the volume control in the
software you are using for audio playback.

Attaching the Speaker to the Monitor
To install the Business Audio Speaker, follow these steps.
1. First, attach the mounting bar to either side of the monitor. This
is done by pressing the elbow-shaped endpieces into the
indentions which are on the sides of your monitor.
7. If you want to listen to sounds privately, you can plug a set of
headphones equipped with a 3.5 mm mini-plug into headphone
jack “1” on the side of the speaker. You can plug a second set of
headphones into headphone jack “2”. When headphones are
plugged into jack “1”, the speaker is muted. It is not muted by
plugging headphones into headphone jack “2”.
2. Next, mount the speaker on the bar using the mounting clips.
Press the speaker's mounting clips onto the accessory bar until
they snap into place. Make sure that the accessory bar stays
firmly attached to the monitor.
8. There is a T-shaped hanger at the top-rear of the speaker, which
provides a place to hang your headphones when you are not using
them. You can attach this hanger at either end of the speaker,
depending on whether you mount the speaker on the left or right
side of your monitor.
3. Locate the cable which is attached to the speaker, and which
terminates in three plugs. It looks like the following illustration.
4. Locate the “Line” output jack on your computer. Connect the
purple plug .1/ to this output jack.
5. Locate the “Microphone” input jack on your computer. Connect

Note: If the software volume control is set too high, it can cause
the speaker output to sound distorted. To avoid this distortion,
follow these instructions.
You can mount the accessory bar and speaker on either the left or
right side of your monitor. The volume control for the speaker is
always on the outside of the speaker, whether you mount the speaker
on the left or right. Refer to the illustration on page 1-33 in order to
locate the features described in this section.
1. Turn the volume control knob on the speaker to the middle of its

Recording Audio Signals
If you want to record sounds for digital manipulation or playback, you
must plug a microphone into the microphone jack on the speaker. For
further instructions on recording audio signals, refer to the
documentation provided with your system and the multimedia software
you are using.
4. Once you have eliminated the distortion, you can use the
speaker's volume control knob to set the audio to a comfortable
listening level.
Note: One performance of this procedure should eliminate any
distortion problems with a particular application. However,
different software applications sometimes require different output
settings, so you may need to adjust the output for each individual
application you use.
Adjusting the Volume
There are two ways you can adjust the speaker's volume. One way is
to use the volume control knob on the speaker itself .1/. The second
way to adjust the volume is by using the volume control in the
software you are using for audio playback.

Statement of Limited Warranty
The warranties provided by IBM in this Statement of Limited Warranty apply
only to Machines you originally purchase for your use, and not for resale, from
IBM or your reseller. The term “Machine” means an IBM machine, its features,
conversions, upgrades, elements, or accessories, or any combination of them.
Unless IBM specifies otherwise, the following warranties apply only in the
country where you acquire the Machine. If you have any questions, contact IBM
or your reseller.

Warranty Period*: One Year
*Contact your place of purchase for warranty service information.
Production Status
Each Machine is manufactured from new parts, or new and used parts. In
some cases, the Machine may not be new and may have been previously
Part 2: Appendixes 2-3
installed. Regardless of the Machine's production status, IBM's warranty terms
apply.
Warranty Service
To obtain warranty service for the Machine, you should contact your reseller or
call IBM. In the United States, call IBM at 1-800-772-2227. In Canada, call
IBM at 1-800-565-3344. You may be required to present proof of purchase.
The IBM Warranty for Machines
IBM warrants that each Machine 1) is free from defects in materials and
workmanship and 2) conforms to IBM's Official Published Specifications. The
warranty period for a Machine is a specified, fixed period commencing on its
Date of Installation. The date on your receipt is the Date of Installation, unless
IBM or your reseller informs you otherwise.
IBM or your reseller will provide certain types of repair and exchange service,
either at your location or at IBM's or your reseller's service center, to restore a
Machine to good working order.
When a type of service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item
IBM or your reseller replaces becomes its property and the replacement
becomes yours. You represent that all removed items are genuine and
unaltered. The replacement may not be new, but will be in good working order
and at least functionally equivalent to the item replaced. The replacement
assumes the warranty service status of the replaced item. Before IBM or your
reseller exchanges a Machine or part, you agree to remove all features, parts,
options, alterations, and attachments not under warranty service. You also
agree to ensure that the Machine is free of any legal obligations or restrictions
that prevent its exchange.
During the warranty period IBM or your reseller, if authorized by IBM, will
provide warranty service under the type of service designated for the Machine
and will manage and install engineering changes that apply to the Machine.
For IBM or your reseller to provide warranty service for a feature, conversion,
or upgrade, IBM or your reseller may require that the Machine on which it is
installed be 1) for certain Machines, the designated, serial-numbered Machine
and 2) at an engineering-change level compatible with the feature, conversion,
or upgrade. Many of these transactions involve the removal of parts and their
return to IBM. You represent that all removed parts are genuine and unaltered.
A part that replaces a removed part will assume the warranty service status of
the replaced part.
You agree to:
1. obtain authorization from the owner to have IBM or your reseller service a
Machine that you do not own; and
2. where applicable, before service is provided —
If a Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, IBM
or your reseller will repair it or replace it with one that is at least functionally
equivalent, without charge. The replacement may not be new, but will be in
good working order. If IBM or your reseller is unable to repair or replace the
Machine, you may return it to your place of purchase and your money will be
refunded.
a. follow the problem determination, problem analysis, and service
request procedures that IBM or your reseller provide,
b. secure all programs, data, and funds contained in a Machine, and
c. inform IBM or your reseller of changes in a Machine's location.
IBM is responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine while it is 1) in
IBM's possession or 2) in transit in those cases where IBM is responsible for
the transportation charges.
If you transfer a Machine to another user, warranty service is available to that
user for the remainder of the warranty period. You should give your proof of
purchase and this Statement to that user. However, for Machines which have a
life-time warranty, this warranty is not transferable.
