Configuring virtual buttons
The virtual buttons at the top of the Dual Mode Pad are pre-
configured for the Email, ConfigFree, and Print functions. You can
assign different functions to these buttons if you wish.

5, and 6 in the Properties for Synaptics LuxPad window) are
unassigned by default. In order to use one of these buttons, you
must first configure that button so that it is associated with a
function.
To configure a virtual button:
1
Perform steps 1-5 in
“Enabling Dual Mode” on page 68

Select the virtual button you wish to configure.

Using external display devices
Your computer comes with a built-in display, but you can also
connect an external display device to an available video port, as
follows:
❖
An external monitor or projector via the RGB (monitor) port
❖
A TV, VCR, or DVD recorder via the S-video (TV-out) port*
❖
An HDMI-compatible television or VCR/DVD player via the
HDMI Out port*
*(Available on certain models)
Before connecting an external monitor or video projector, configure
your computer for the type of device you are connecting. To do this,
refer to the documentation for your operating system and devices.
You cannot connect both the S-video Out port and the HDMI Out
port to the same device at the same time.
Connecting an external monitor or projector
You can easily attach an external monitor or projector to your
computer if you need a larger screen. To do this:
1
Connect the monitor’s video cable to the RGB (monitor) port
on the side of the computer.
2
Connect the device’s power cable to a live electrical outlet.
