Connecting an external monitor
To connect a monitor, follow these steps. (If you are connecting a monitor
from a manufacturer other than Apple, be sure to read its manual.)
1 Choose Shut Down or Sleep from the Special menu.
If you connect a monitor with your computer turned on, the computer will
not recognize the monitor.
2 Plug in the power adapter that came with your PowerBook.
You must use the power adapter whenever you are using an external monitor.
3 Place the monitor where you will be using it.
Keep the computer and the monitor at least 8 inches apart to avoid
interference between the monitor and your computer’s floppy disk drive,
which can cause errors on your floppy disks.
Arrange the monitor so the top of the screen is slightly below eye level while
you work. Position the monitor to minimize glare and reflections on the
screen from lights and windows.
4 Make sure the monitor’s power cord is attached to the monitor, then plug the other end
into a grounded outlet or power strip.
If your monitor’s power cord is designed to plug into the power receptacle on
the back of a computer, rather than into an electrical outlet, you can obtain a
cable with the correct plug from your Apple-authorized dealer.
If you are using a power strip, make sure it is turned on.
