Connecting External Devices
To connect an external monitor
You can connect a VGA, SVGA, or XGA monitor to your OmniBook. The OmniBook
supports standard XGA mode (1024 by 768 pixels).
1. Press the power button for one second to suspend the OmniBook.
2. Connect the monitor cable to the monitor, then to the VGA port on the back of
the OmniBook.
3. Connect the monitor to a power source and turn it on.
4. If the external monitor has a different resolution from the internal display, adjust
the display properties (My Computer, Control Panel, Display, Settings).
If the external display does not work, try pressing Fn+F5 to activate it. This keystroke
combination toggles the display from internal to external to both.
To enable the built-in and external displays
For a temporary change, press Fn+F5 to cycle through the display options
(Internal, External, Both).
--or--
For a permanent change, change the settings in the BIOS Setup Utility (see the
following topic).
