Viewing the display on a projector or monitor
You can use your notebook for giving presentations by connecting an external
monitor or projector to your monitor (VGA) port. Your notebook supports
simultaneous LCD and CRT display. Simultaneous display allows you to control
the presentation from your notebook and at the same time face your audience.
To use a projector or external monitor:
1Turn off your convertible tabletPC.
2Plug the projector or monitor cable into the VGA port on your convertible
tablet PC or port replicator. For the location of the VGA port, see “Back
on page 6 and “Back” on page 274.
3Turn on your convertible tabletPC.
4Plug the projector’s or monitor’s power cord into an ACpower source and
turn it on. WindowsXP recognizes the new hardware a nd sea rches for its
driver. You may need to install the driver from the disc supplied by the
projector’s or monitor’s manufacturer or download the driver from the
manufacturer’s Web site.
5After the driver is installed, right-click/button-tap any empty space on the
desktop, then click/tap Properties. The Display Properties dialog box opens.
