Connecting an External Monitor

If you want the benefits of a larger display screen with higher resolution,
you can connect an external display 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
connector.
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 Sleep mode or Hibernation mode. If no external monitor is connected
when the computer resumes, the LCD might not display properly.
