CHAPTER 4: Using Drives and Accessories Viewing the display on a projector or monitor You can use your notebook for giving presentations by connecting an external monitor or projector to your monitor (VGA) port. Your notebook supports simultaneous LCD and external display. Simultaneous display lets you control the presentation from your notebook at the same time as you face your audience. To use a projector or external monitor: 1 Turn off your notebook. 2 Plug the projector or monitor cable into the VGA port on your notebook. Tip For the location of the VGA port on your notebook, see "Right" on page 8. 3 Turn on your notebook. 4 Plug the projector's or monitor's power cord into an AC power source and turn it on. Windows recognizes the new hardware and the New Display Detected dialog box opens. 5 Select the options for the projector or external monitor, then click OK. 6 Press FN+F4 to switch between viewing the display on the LCD panel, viewing the display on the projector or monitor, and viewing the display on both the LCD panel and the projector or monitor. Important If an external monitor or projector is connected and you close the LCD panel, your notebook may turn off the LCD panel, but will not enter Sleep mode. Adjusting the display properties If the image on the projector or monitor does not appear correctly, or if you want to use the display as an extension of your notebook desktop, you should adjust the display properties on the projector or external monitor. 42
