Attaching an external monitor

If no external monitor is attached to the computer and the dis output location is set to External Display, the output is display on the LCD.

ŸBoth: The computer output is displayed on both the LCD and the external monitor.

You can also change the display output locationFn key using the function. Press and holdFn key;the then pressF7 keythe. The

output is displayed sequentially as follows:

Important

Do not disconnect the external monitor while the computer is in hibernation mode. If no external monitor is attached when the computer resumes, the LCD remains blank and output is not dis- played. This restriction does not depend on the resolution value.
