2.2 Connecting to an External Monitor via the D-sub Port

The notebook comes with a D-sub port for you to connect to an external monitor. To connect an external monitor, please follow the steps below:

W476 / W576 NOTEBOOK SERIES USER’S MANUAL

1.Turn off your W476 / W576 notebook and make sure the monitor power switch is turned off.

2.Connect the connector cable of the monitor to the D-sub port on the left side of your notebook. Secure the cable connection with the screws provided.

3.Connect the monitor power cable and plug it into a properly grounded wall outlet.

4.Turn on the monitor.

5.Turn on your W476 / W576 notebook. Both the LCD panel and the monitor screen will show the display. Your notebook is set at default to run at simultaneous display mode.

6.If you only want to show the display on the external monitor (CRT/LCD) and shut off the LCD display, you can use the <Fn> + <F3> hot-key to switch display type between LCD and CRT. Keep pressing the hot-key until you get the display to external CRT/LCD only.
