Acer ePresentation Management

Acer ePresentation Management lets you project your computer’s display to an external device or projector using
the hotkey:

<Fn> + <F5>

. If auto-detection hardware is implemented in the system and the external display

supports it, your system display will be automatically switched out when an external display is connected to the
system. For projectors and external devices that are not auto-detected, launch Acer ePresentation Management to
choose an appropriate display setting.

Note:

If the restored resolution is not correct after disconnecting a projector, or you need to use an external

resolution that is not supported by Acer ePresentation Management, adjust your display settings using Display
Properties or the utility provided by the graphics vendor.
