4. Turn the computer's power on. 
When you turn on the power, the computer will automatically recognize the 
monitor and determine whether it is a color or monochrome device. In the 
event that you find that there are issues getting an image displayed on the 
correct monitor, you should consider using the FN + F5 hot key to change 
the display settings (if you then disconnect the external monitor before you 
turn the computer's power off, be sure to press FN + F5 hot key again to 
switch to the internal display).
Please refer to Chapter 5, The Keyboard, for further details on using hot 
keys to change the display setting.
