Adjusting the Internal Display

Before you begin working with your new PowerBook, you may need to adjust your display so
that items on the screen are easy to see. Your PowerBook comes with a control (labeled with
the ¤ icon) that adjusts screen brightness.

m

Use the brightness (¤) control to change the brightness of your display.

If your display is too dark, press and hold the right side of the brightness control (labeled
with the + icon) until items are easily visible on the screen. If your display is too bright,
press and hold the left side of the brightness control (labeled with the – icon) until items
are easily visible on the screen.

Adjusting the Resolution of the Internal Display

You can increase the size of images on your built-in display by switching from the standard
resolution to a scaled resolution. To do so, click the Resolution icon in the Control Strip.
When you switch to a scaled resolution, items on the screen appear larger, making them
easier to see.

Note: Scaled resolutions may not appear as sharp as the standard display resolution.
