GD8000 User Guide Making Connections Ethernet (LAN) With the built-in Ethernet LAN, you can make LAN connections with 10/100/1000 Mbps connection speed. To use the network feature, connect an Ethernet cable from the network jack on the left side of the computer to a network jack or hub on your network. External Monitor or Video Device You may use an external monitor simultaneously with your notebook's display, instead of your notebook's display, or as an extension of your notebook's display. To attach an external monitor, do the following: 4. Connect the video signal cable from the external monitor (or the VGA adapter) to the external monitor port on the left side of your computer. 5. Connect the power cable from the external monitor to a power outlet and turn on the monitor. 6. Read the monitor manual for additional instructions. Ethernet Port (RJ45) Modem Port (RJ11) Fax/data modem You can use the fax/modem to connect to the Internet to send and receive data using the 56 Kbps V.92 protocol. When used with fax software, it can be used as a fax at 14.4 Kbps. In some countries, local regulations may not permit the use of the fax/ modem designed for this system. In this case, you may use a PC Card modem. To use the fax/data modem port, connect a phone cable from the modem port on the left side of the computer to a telephone jack. CAUTION Plug your modem into an analog telephone jack only. Most homes use analog lines. Do not use digital lines, such as the PBX and ISDN systems found in many offices. Digital lines may damage your modem. To reduce the risk of fire, only use a No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord. Audio Devices Audio devices are easy to connect with the audio ports accessible from the left side of the computer. You can plug an external microphone (or an audio line-in device) into the line-in jack. Amplified speakers or headphones connect to the lineout jack. Microphone Jack Headphone / Speaker Jack External Monitor Port Using Simultaneous Display Your computer takes advantage of Windows dual-display capability, allowing you to use your computer for presentation purposes. To use simultaneous display, connect an external display device to the external monitor port. You can then toggle the display output location by pressing Fn+F2 . It will output to your computer's display, the attached external display, or both displays simultaneously. Keep pressing Fn+F2 until you have the output option you want. Using Extended Display When using an external monitor you can extend your desktop. This allows you to open and view one program on the external monitor while viewing a different program on your laptop's display. Windows XP and Vista: 7. Right click on the desktop. 8. Select Properties to open the Display Properties dialogue box. 9. Select the Settings tab. 10.Click on the "2" in the Monitors section. 11.Check "Extend my Windows desktop onto this monitor". 12.Select Apply and OK to save and exit. Now you can drag the programs you want to view onto the external monitor. Windows 7: 1. Select Start, Control Panel, Appearance and Personalization. 2. Under Display select Connect to an external display. 3. Select the drop-down menu next to Multiple Displays and click Extend these displays. Then click OK. General Dynamics Itronix | 72-0137-003
