Using Your NEC Versa Note   4-23

External Monitor

You can add a standard external monitor to your NEC Versa Note. 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.

Follow these steps to connect an external monitor to your NEC Versa
Note.

1. 

Check that the NEC Versa Note is powered off and the monitor
Power switch is turned off.

 

Note:

 The NEC Versa Note must be powered

off or suspended while the monitor is being
connected.

2. 

Attach the 15-pin cable connector to the monitor port on the system.
Secure the cable connection with the screws provided.

3. 

Connect the monitor power cable and plug it into a properly
grounded wall outlet.

4. 

Follow any setup instructions in the monitor user’s guide.

5. 

Turn on power to the monitor.

6. 

Power on the NEC Versa Note.

Press the 

Fn-F3

 function key combination to toggle between the LCD,

CRT, or simultaneous display on both.

Printer

You can attach a printer with either a parallel or a serial connector. A
parallel printer connector has 25 pins; a serial connector has 9 pins.
Some printers come with both types of connectors.
