2. Attach the video cable to the monitor port on the computer. Secure the cable connection with the screws provided.

3. Connect the monitor power cable and plug it into a properly grounded wall outlet.

4. Follow any setup instructions in the monitor's user's guide.

5. Turn on power to the monitor, then the computer.

6. Make sure that the current resolution and refresh rate do not exceed the specifications of the monitor. If necessary change the display settings used by the computer.

Headphones and microphone

These ports allow you to connect audio devices. Use the headphone port to plug in stereo headphones or powered speakers. Plugging an audio device to the headphone port disables the built-in speakers.

Use the microphone port to connect an external microphone for mono recording; plugging in an external microphone disables the built-in microphone.

Note

Some computers have a single "combo" port that allows you to use single-pin headsets with a built-in microphone. These headsets are most commonly used with smartphones.
