FAQ

An external analog monitor or HDMI monitor can be connected to the computer's external monitor port. In order to connect a monitor, follow the steps as detailed below:

1. Turn the computer's power off.

2. Connect the monitor cable to the external monitor port.



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.

If you have problems on getting an image displayed on the correct monitor, you should use 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).
