Portable and Laptop Activation Chart
NOTE:
Visit our website at
www.infocus.com for the most
current activation chart. It is
located in the Technical Library in
the Service and Support section.
Many laptop computers do not automatically turn on their exter-
nal video port when a projector is connected. Activation com-
mands for some laptop computers are listed in the following
table. (If your computer is not listed or the given command does
not work, refer to the computer’s documentation for the appro-
priate command.) On many laptops, the activation function key
is labeled with an icon, for example
or the text CRT/LCD.
NOTE:
Usually, pressing the key
commands once activates the
external video port, pressing it
again activates both the external
and internal ports, and pressing it
a third time activates the internal
port. Refer to your computer’s
documentation for details on your
specific model.
