Appendix B. Portable and mobile computer activation
Many mobile computers do not automatically turn on their external video port
when a projector is connected. Activation commands for some mobile
computers are listed in the following table. (If your computer is not listed or
the given command does not work, refer to the computer documentation for
the appropriate command.) On many mobile computers, the activation function
key is labeled with an icon such as that in the following illustration.
Note: Visit http://www.infocus.com/ for the most current activation chart. It
is located in the Service and Support link.
Note: Usually, pressing the key commands once activates the external video
port, pressing it again activates both external and internal ports, and
pressing it a third time activates the internal port. Refer to your
computer’s documentation for details on your specific model.
