press key combination without results, exit the application and try again.

Fn + F12 Sets beep volume
Fn + F1 Toggles display output:
Once=Meridian’s LCD only
Twice=External monitor only
Three times=Both displays at once
*Dual Scan color displays only.
Setting the Speaker Volume
Pushing FN + F12 cycles through the four volume levels for the internal
speaker. When you set the volume level, the system records and
remembers the level you set for the Power On beep, the Suspend Mode
beep, and the normal system beep. This setting is retained in memory
even when you turn the system off. To lower the volume of the low
battery alert, cycle through the volume settings by pressing Fn + F12.
Caution:
If you disable sound or set the Meridian 850’s volume too low, you
may not be able to hear the low-battery warning.
Note: Some settings such as BIOS errors and unknown system problems will always
beep at maximum volume.
