Getting Started 53 Using external display devices Control buttons When a step instructs you to click or choose an item, move the cursor to the item, then press and release the primary (left-hand) button. To double-click, press the primary button twice in rapid succession. The primary button usually corresponds to the left mouse button. The function of the secondary (right-hand) button depends on the program you are using. It usually corresponds to the right mouse button ("right-clicking"). Check your program's documentation to determine whether it uses the right mouse button. Disabling or enabling the TouchPad™ The TouchPad™ is enabled by default. To change the enable/disable TouchPad setting, press Fn + F9. This hot key enables/disables the TouchPad. For more information, see "Disabling or enabling the TouchPad™" on page 189. Using external display devices Your computer comes with a built-in display, but you can also connect an external monitor, projector or TV via the HDMI Out port. Connecting an external display device You can easily attach an external monitor, projector or TV to your computer if you need a larger screen. To do this: 1 Read the directions that came with the external device to see if you first need to install new software. 2 Connect the external device's video cable to the HDMI Out port on the side of the computer. 3 Connect the device's power cable to a live electrical outlet. 4 Turn on the external device. Your computer will automatically detect the external display device and activate a screen with display options. 5 Select the settings you desire and click Apply. 6 Click OK. NOTE In the future you can change the display settings by pressing Fn+F5, or by configuring the display properties settings.
