This hot key enables/disables the TouchPad. For more information, see "Disabling or enabling the TouchPad™" on page 214. Using external display devices Your computer comes with a built-in display, but you can also connect an external display device to an available video port, as follows: ❖ An external monitor or projector via the RGB (monitor) port ❖ A TV, VCR, or DVD recorder via the S-video (TV-out) port* ❖ An HDMI-compatible television or VCR/DVD player via the HDMI Out port* *(Available on certain models) Before connecting an external monitor or video projector, configure your computer for the type of device you are connecting. To do this, refer to the documentation for your operating system and devices. You cannot connect both the S-video Out port and the HDMI Out port to the same device at the same time.

To do this: 1 Connect the monitor's video cable to the RGB (monitor) port on the side of the computer. 2 Connect the device's power cable to a live electrical outlet. 3 Turn on the external device. Your computer will automatically detect the external display device and activate a screen with display options. 4 Select the settings you desire and click Apply. 5 Click OK.
