Connecting a monitor

You can connect many types of monitors to your Macintosh. To connect a
monitor from a manufacturer other than Apple, refer to the instructions that
came with it.

Connecting the monitor power cord

Monitors have two cords to connect—a power cord and a monitor cable.

To connect the monitor power cord, follow these steps:

1

Place the monitor where you will be using it.

Keep these considerations in mind:

m The case of the computer is sturdy enough for you to place on top of it any

monitor that is 17 inches or smaller.

m Allow at least 3 inches for air circulation around the sides of the computer

and monitor.

m Make sure that the top of the screen is slightly below eye level when you’re

sitting at the keyboard.

m Position the monitor to minimize glare and reflections on the screen from

overhead lights and windows.

m Consult “Arranging Your Office” in Appendix A for suggestions on

positioning your computer equipment.

WARNING

Setting the correct voltage for your computer does not set the

voltage for your monitor. To protect your monitor, be sure to use the
appropriate adapter or voltage converter, if one is necessary.
