Working with an external monitor
For information on displaying the menu bar on the external monitor or using an external monitor for presentations, see the “Monitors” topic of Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide (h) menu.
Note: The backlight dimming feature in the PowerBook control panel turns the screen brightness down to a low level when you haven’t used the computer for a few minutes. (You can think of dimming as “screen sleep.”) Dimming also affects the external monitor. When you move your finger on the trackpad or press a key on the keyboard, the brightness is restored on both screens. For more information on backlight dimming, see the “Batteries & Power” topic of Macintosh Guide, available in the Guide (h) menu.

Disconnect the video adapter from the video port on the computer’s back panel. The video port is marked with this icon: ™.
