USB port allows multiple devices to run simultaneously on a com-
puter, with peripherals such as floppy drive, mouse, digital cameras,
scanners, printers, optical disk drive, keyboards, games devices and
acting as additional plug-in sites, or hubs. Your notebook computer has one VGA port for supporting any ex-
ternal CRT or LCD color monitor. One end of the cable must have a
15-pin connector for the system. To connect an external monitor:
1. Turn off your notebook computer and make sure the monitor
power switch is turned off.
2. Connect the connector cable of the monitor to the VGA port at
the back of your notebook computer. Secure the cable con-
nection with the screws provided.
3. Connect the monitor power cable and plug it into a properly
grounded wall outlet.
4. Turn on the monitor.
5. Turn on your notebook computer. Both the LCD panel and the
monitor screen will show the display. Your notebook computer
is set at default to run at simultaneous display mode.
6. If you only want to show the display on the external monitor
(CRT/LCD) and shut off the LCD display, you can use the
<Fn> + <F5> hot-key to switch display type between LCD and
CRT. Keep pressing the hot-key until you get the display to
external CRT/LCD only.
