Connecting An External Monitor
If you wish to connect both an external keyboard and an external monitor, you should first
enter the BIOS Setup Program and set the Lid Switch to CRT mode. This will allow you
to close the lid of the notebook without the system entering into suspend. Please refer to
Chapter 3 in the section labeled The Power Menu for detailed instructions on how to
configure the Lid Switch’s function.
Connect an external monitor to the notebook as follows.
1. Connect the monitor signal cable to the notebook’s VGA port located on the
rear of the notebook. Tighten the thumb screws (Figure 4-1, step 1).
2. After ensuring the monitor is turned off, connect its power cord to a wall outlet
(Figure 4-1, step 2).
3. Turn on the monitor.
4. Use the [fn + F4] hot key combination to achieve CRT only or simultaneous
viewing mode.
