and the other end into an AC outlet.
✍
Turn off your computer and the peripherals; unplug the AC adapter and the power cord
before connecting the external display.
Connect the power cord after connecting all of the other cables.
Turn on the peripherals, then turn on your computer.
Some Computer displays or projectors may not be used as a monitor with the LCD on your
computer display at the same time.
You can toggle the display mode between the LCD on your computer and the external
display. See “To select a display” on page 42 or “Combinations and Functions with the Fn
Key” on page 21.
The optional display adapter PCGA-DA5 allows you to connect a display directly to the port
replicator connector, eliminating the need for the port replicator. See “Connecting an
External Display” on page 41.
