monitor is attached, the computer output is displayed in the following three patterns by turns:

- Computer display (LCD)
Notes:
- For any operating system other than Windows 2000 or Windows XP, no additional procedure is needed. Just press Fn+F7.
- This function is not supported if different desktop images are displayed on the computer display and the external monitor (the Extend desktop function).
- This function does not work while a DVD movie or a video clip is playing.
To enable this function in Windows 2000 and Windows XP, the following procedure is needed:
- When you log on to Windows 2000 and Windows XP for the first time, press Fn + F7 and select a display-switching function in the Initial setup window. Since in Windows 2000 and Windows XP multiple users can log on to a single operating system by using different user IDs, each user needs to select the function in the initial setup window when logging on for the first time.
- If the Fn + F7 key combination have been assigned to a presentation scheme function, start Presentation Director, and change the settings.
