Control buttons
When a step instructs you to click or choose an item, move the
cursor to the item, then press and release the primary (left-hand)
button. To double-click, press the primary button twice in rapid
succession. The primary button usually corresponds to the left
mouse button.
The function of the secondary (right-hand) button depends on the
program you are using. It usually corresponds to the right mouse
button (“right-clicking”). Check your program’s documentation to
determine whether it uses the right mouse button.

Using external display devices
Your computer comes with a built-in display, but you can also
connect an external monitor, projector or TV via the HDMI Out
port.
Connecting an external display device
You can easily attach an external monitor, projector or TV to your
computer if you need a larger screen. To do this:
1 Read the directions that came with the external device to see if
you first need to install new software.
2 Connect the external device’s video cable to the HDMI Out
port on the side of the computer.
3 Connect the device’s power cable to a live electrical outlet.
4 Turn on the external device.
Your computer will automatically detect the external display
device and activate a screen with display options.
5 Select the settings you desire and click Apply.
6 Click OK.
In the future you can change the display settings by pressing Fn+F5,
or by configuring the display properties settings.
