Connecting an External Monitor

If you want the benefits of a larger display screen with higher resolution, you can
connect an external monitor that supports VGA interface to your computer.

Follow this procedure to connect an external monitor:

1. Make sure that the computer is not turned on.

2. Plug the monitor’s signal connector to the computer’s VGA port.

3. Plug one end of the monitor’s power cord into the power socket on the monitor and

the other end to an electrical outlet.

4. To use the monitor, switch on the monitor before turning on the computer.

5. The monitor should respond by default. If not, you can switch the display to the

monitor or to both (simultaneous display), or to multi-display by pressing Fn+F9. In
Windows, you can also change the display through the settings in Display
Properties.

6. You can change display settings through your operating system. See your operating

system documentation or online help for specific information.

CAUTION:

Do not disconnect the external monitor while the computer is on standby/sleep mode. If no
external monitor is connected when the computer resumes, the LCD remains blank and the
output is not displayed.
