Appendix
Portable and Laptop Activation Chart
Many laptop computers do not automatically turn on their external
video port when a projector is connected. Activation commands for
some laptop computers are listed in the following table. (If your com-
puter is not listed or the given command does not work, refer to the
computer’s documentation for the appropriate command.) On many lap-
tops, the activation function key is labeled with an icon, for example
or the text CRT/LCD.
NOTE:
Usually, pressing the
key commands once activates
the external video port, pressing
it again activates both the
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.
