3. Turn the external monitor's power on.
4. Turn the computer's power on.
When you turn on the power, the computer will automatically recognize the
monitor and determine whether it is a color or monochrome device. In the
event that you find that there are issues getting an image displayed on the
correct monitor, you should consider using the FN + F5 hot key to change
the display settings (if you then disconnect the external monitor before you
turn the computer's power off, be sure to press FN + F5 hot key again to
switch to the internal display).
Please refer to Chapter 5, The Keyboard, for further details on using hot
keys to change the display setting.
There are no fastening screws for an external monitor cable on this
computer's external monitor port. However, external monitor cables which
have connectors with fastening screws can still be used.
