Connecting an External Monitor
If you want the benefits of a larger display screen with higher resolution, you can connect an external CRT monitor or
LCD monitor to your computer. Follow this procedure to connect an external monitor:
1. Make sure that the computer is not turned on.
2. Plug the monitor’s D-type signal connector to the computer’s VGA port.
3. Plug one end of the monitor’s power cord into the power socket on the monitor and the other end to an electrical
outlet.
4. To use the monitor, turn on the monitor before turning on the computer.
5. The monitor should respond by default. If not, you can switch the display to the monitor or to both (simultaneous
display), or to multi-display by pressing the Fn+F5 hot key. In Windows, you can also change the display through the
settings in Display Properties.
6. You can change display settings through your operating system. See your operating system documentation or online
help for specific information.
CAUTION: Do not disconnect the external monitor while the computer is in the Standby mode
or Hibernation mode. If no external monitor is connected when the computer resumes, the LCD
might not display properly.
