External Monitor: Dell Latitude CP and CPi
When an external monitor is connected to the
computer, the video image automatically appears on the external
monitor's screen when you boot your computer.
To toggle the video image between the built-in
display, an external monitor, or both simultaneously, press <Fn><F8>
on the built-in keyboard (or <Scroll Lock><F8> on an
external keyboard if the External Hot Key option is enabled in
the System Setup program).
If the external monitor is turned off when you
boot your computer, the computer still sends the video image to
the external monitor. In this case, you will not see an image on
either the computer's display or the external monitor. To see an
image, turn on the external monitor or switch the video image to
the computer's display by pressing <Fn><F8>
on the built-in keyboard (or <Scroll Lock><F8> on
an external keyboard if the External Hot Key option is enabled in
the System Setup program).

NOTE: If you are
using an external monitor at a resolution greater than
the display supports, the simultaneous display feature is
disabled. You cannot switch to the built-in display
(pressing <Fn><F8> [or <Scroll
Lock><F8> on an external keyboard if the
External Hot Key option is enabled in the System Setup
program] will have no effect). To use the display, switch
to a resolution that the system supports, or disconnect
the external monitor and restart your operating system. |
