6 Make sure the other end of the monitor’s cable is attached to the monitor. Then attach
the end of the cable (with the monitor adapter, if it’s an Apple-compatible monitor) to the

the monitor cable directly to the external monitor port on the PowerBook.

Mac OS Help, available in the Help menu, for instructions.
