Using the External Monitor Port
Your computer has a 15-pin Monitor port for supporting any external CRT or LCD color monitor. You need a
display signal cable (usually provided with the monitor). One end of the cable must have a 15-pin connector
for the system.
To connect an external monitor:
1.Turn off your computer and make sure the monitor power switch is turned off.
The notebook computer must be powered off or suspended while the monitor is being connected.
Although you can connect the external Monitor without power off the computer and the external monitor,
however, it is harmful to both devices and it shortens the life of these devices.
2.Connect the connector cable of the monitor to the VGA port of your computer. Secure the cable connection
with the screws provided.
3.Connect the monitor power cable and plug it into a properly grounded wall outlet.
4.Turn on the power of the monitor.
5.Turn on your computer. Both the LCD panel and the monitor screen will show the display. Your computer is
set at default to run at simultaneous display mode.
