Using external display devices

Control buttons

When a step instructs you to click or choose an item, move the
cursor to the item, then press and release the primary (left-hand)
button. To double-click, press the primary button twice in rapid
succession. The primary button usually corresponds to the left
mouse button.
The function of the secondary (right-hand) button depends on the
program you are using. It usually corresponds to the right mouse
button (“right-clicking”). Check your program’s documentation to
determine whether it uses the right mouse button.
Disabling or enabling the TouchPad™
The TouchPad™ is enabled by default. To change the enable/disable
TouchPad setting, press Fn + F9. This hot key enables/disables the
TouchPad. For more information, see “Disabling or enabling the
TouchPad™” on page 221.

Using external display devices

Your computer comes with a built-in display, but you can also
connect an external monitor or projector via the RGB (monitor)
port.

Connecting an external monitor or projector

You can easily attach an external monitor or projector to your
computer if you need a larger screen. To do this:
1Read the directions that came with the monitor to see if you
first need to install new software.
2Connect the monitor’s video cable to the RGB (monitor) port
on the back of the computer.
3Connect the device’s power cable to a live electrical outlet.
4Turn on the external device.
Your computer will automatically detect the external display
device and activate a screen with display options.
5Select the settings you desire and click Apply.
6Click OK.
In the future you can change the display settings by pressing Fn+F5,
or by configuring the display properties settings.
