Connecting to a VGA display device
The port replicator can also be connected to an external VGA display device, such as a monitor or a
projector, through the external monitor port.
NOTE: The USB 2.0 Port Replicator supports one display device at a time. If there is an HDMI
display device connected to the port replicator, it will not support an external VGA display device. You
must disconnect the HDMI display device from the port replicator before connecting an external VGA
display device.
To connect an external VGA display device:
1. Connect the device cable to the external monitor port on the back of the port replicator.
2. If you are using Windows 7, press fn+f4 or f4 , depending on the computer, one or more times to
switch the screen image to the external display device.
NOTE: If you are not using Windows 7, the computer will automatically detect the external
device. Refer to Help and Support for more information.
NOTE: To use extended display, refer to the operating system display settings of the
computer.
NOTE: If the computer lid switch is set to initiate Standby or Sleep when the display is closed,
do not close the computer display while the computer is connected to an external display device.
You can modify lid switch settings through the computer power options.
NOTE: The port replicator does not support viewing Blu-ray and other protected content on a
display device connected to the external monitor port on the port replicator.
