First disconnect the external monitor from the computer then connect the Port Replicator and use its external monitor port. The Resume feature can be used with an external monitor. Simply enable Resume and the computer will maintain the data as it is displayed on the external monitor. 1. Connect the monitor to the external monitor port. 2. Turn the monitor's power on. When you turn on the power, the computer automatically recognizes the monitor and determines whether it is color or monochrome. You can use the HW Setup to select between Auto-Selected and Simultaneous displays. Refer to Chapter 7, HW Setup and Passwords. If you have selected Simultaneous under the Display options of the HW Setup, both the external monitor and the internal LCD will be active when you turn on the computer. If Auto-Selected is selected, only the external monitor will be active. To change the display settings, press FN + F5. If you disconnect the monitor before you turn the computer off, be sure to press FN + F5 to switch to the internal display. Refer to Chapter 5, The Keyboard, for details on using hot keys to change the display setting. If you set Simultaneous for the computer's display, you must set the computer's display resolution to the same as that of the external monitor or other device, such as a projector.
