EXTERNAL MONITOR PORT

The external monitor port allows you to connect an external monitor. In order to connect an external monitor follow these easy steps: (Figure 4-22)

1.Open the flexible cover over the external monitor port.

2.Align the connector with the port opening.

3.Push the connector into the port until it is seated.

4.Tighten the two hold-down screws, located on each side of the connector.

Pressing the [Fn] + [F10] keys allows you to change your selection of where to send your display video. Each time you press the key combination, you will step to the next choice, starting with the built-in display panel only, moving to the external monitor only, finally moving to both the built-in display panel and an external monitor.

MINI S-VIDEO OUT JACK (TV OUT)

The S-Video jack allows you to connect and use directly any S-Video device, such as a VCR or television. The S-Video standard provides for a higher quality picture than NTSC or PAL. In order to connect an S-Video device, follow these easy steps: (Figure 4-23)

1.Attach the mini S-Video cable adapter (Figure 2-3)(included with your system accessories) to the S- Video cable from the device.

2.Align the connector with the jack opening.

3.Push the connector into the jack until it is seated.

INFRARED PORT

The Infrared IrDA (4Mbps) port allows for wireless data transfer between your notebook and other IrDA- compatible devices, such as another computer or a printer, without the use of a cable. (See figure 2-7 on page 10 for port location)

It is important to keep in mind that while carrying out this form of communication, both devices must be placed so their infrared ports are directly facing each other without obstruction. The devices must also be separated by at least 6" but no more than 36" for maximum performance.

The following conditions may interfere with infrared communications:

A television, radio remote control unit, or a wireless headphone is being used nearby.

Direct sunlight, fluorescent light, or incandescent light shines directly on the port.

Do not move either device while com- munication is active as it may interrupt data transmission.

Be careful not to scratch the infrared port lens. Dirt, scratches, or other sur- face marks can degrade operation.
