Apple PowerBook (500 Series) - Manual (Page 43)

Arrange the monitor so the top of the screen is slightly below eye level while
you work. Position the monitor to minimize glare and reflections on the
screen from lights and windows.
3 Make sure the monitor’s power cord is attached to the monitor, then plug the other end
into a grounded outlet or power strip.
If your monitor’s power cord is designed to plug into the power receptacle on
the back of a computer, rather than into an electrical outlet, you can obtain a
cord with the correct plug from your Apple-authorized dealer.
If you are using a power strip, make sure it is turned on.
4 Make sure the video cable is attached to the monitor, then attach the other end of the
video cable to the PowerBook’s video adapter. (If your PowerBook configuration did not
include a video adapter cable, you need to purchase one from your Apple-authorized
dealer. )
5 Attach the video adapter to the video port (marked with the icon
™
) on the computer’s
back panel.
6 Turn on the external monitor.
7 Press the Power On (
P
) key to turn on your computer.
