Using the Control Strip

The Control Strip is a quick and easy way to adjust frequently used settings of the Monitors &
Sound control panel.

When you turn on your monitor, the Control Strip appears in the lower-left corner of the
screen. Click the pull tab once to open it.

The Control Strip may look slightly different on your computer, depending upon the Control
Strip modules that are installed.

To change a setting, move the pointer over the item you want to use and hold down the
mouse button. Choose a setting from the pop-up menu that appears.

If you want to change the position of the Control Strip on your desktop, hold down the
Option key and drag the Control Strip. Release the Option key and mouse button when the
Control Strip is located where you want it. (The Control Strip always snaps to the right or left
edge of the display area.)

For more information on the Control Strip, see Mac OS Help.
