To connect an external monitor, follow these steps. Also consult the
documentation that came with the monitor.
1 Press the Power (
P
) key once to get the Shut Down dialog box.
2 Click Shut Down or Sleep.
If you connect a monitor with your computer turned on, the computer will
not recognize the monitor.
3 Place the monitor where you will be using it.
Keep the computer and the monitor at least 8 inches apart. Interference
between the monitor and your computer’s floppy disk drive can cause errors
on your floppy disks.
Arrange the monitor so the top of the screen is slightly below eye level while
you work. Position the monitor to minimize glare and reflections on the
screen from lights and windows.
4 Make sure the monitor’s power cord is attached to the monitor, then plug the other end
into a grounded outlet or power strip.
If your monitor’s power cord is designed to plug into the power receptacle on
the back of a computer, rather than into an electrical outlet, you can obtain a
cord with the correct plug from your Apple-authorized dealer.
If you are using a power strip, make sure it is turned on.
