Connecting an external monitor
An external monitor can be connected to the notebook.
Ê Switch off the notebook and the external monitor.
Ê Connect the data cable of the external monitor to the monitor port of the notebook.
Ê First switch on the monitor and then the notebook.
With the key combination [Fn] + [F10] you can select the screen for output. You can opt to use:
• just the notebook's LCD screen
• just the external monitor
• both the LCD screen and the external monitor
i
If the notebook is connected to a Port Replicator, the operating system creates an
hardware profile for the "Docked" mode. The setting with the last screen used for output is
saved in this profile. This profile will be loaded, as soon as the notebook is connected to a
Port Replicator.

Ê To change the refresh rate or resolution select the monitor type in the menu Start - Settings -
Control Panel - Display - Settings - Advanced - Monitor.
Ê Now select the Adapter tab.
