Toshiba 100ct User Manual

You can easily attach an external monitor or projector to your 
computer if you need a larger screen. To do this:

Read the directions that came with the monitor to see if you 
first need to install new software.

Connect the monitor’s video cable to the RGB (monitor) port 
on the side of the computer.

Connect the device’s power cable to a live electrical outlet.

Turn on the external device.

Your computer will automatically detect the external display 
device.

In the future you can change the display settings by pressing 

Fn + F5

, or by configuring the display properties settings.

Once you have connected an external display device, you can 
choose to use the internal display only, the external device only, or 
both simultaneously. 

Some modes are only available with the appropriate device attached 
and turned on.

The quickest way to change the display output settings is to use the 
display hot key (

Fn + F5

):

Press 

Fn

 and 

F5

 simultaneously.

While holding down 

Fn

, press 

F5

 repeatedly until the setting 

you want takes effect. Briefly pause each time you press the 

F5

 

key to allow time for the display to change.

This hot key cycles through the settings in the following order 
(the last two options are available if an external monitor is 
connected):

❖

Built-in display only

❖

Built-in display and external monitor (simultaneously)

❖

External monitor only
