3/20 LS/VS 550 OWNER’S HANDBOOK
The Sensonic anti-theft device is enabled when you turn off the
computer, or use the purple button to invoke standby mode. Then
if anyone tries to steal or break into your computer, the movement
of the system unit will set off a very loud siren. To turn off the siren
if it is sounding, start the computer and during the power on
sequence you will be prompted to enter your password.
Please refer to the on-line help file for further details.
Customising your display settings
Your copy of Windows 95 or Windows for Workgroups (if
requested) is set up for a standard VGA monitor, so that Windows
is sure to display correctly whichever monitor you connect.
However, most monitors today, and all Apricot monitors can
display in higher resolutions than standard VGA.
When you have finished installing Windows, you can change the
setting to one that matches more closely to your own monitor, so as
to get the best performance from it.
In Windows 95
Changing the monitor setting is done via the
Change Display Type
option on Windows 95's
Display Properties
dialog box. It contains
a list of major monitor manufacturers and models, including all
current Apricot monitors. See Windows 95 Help for more details
on changing hardware settings.
Tip:
A quick route to changing the monitor type in Windows 95 is to right-
click the mouse while pointing at the background area of the Windows
Desktop, then select Properties from the pop-up menu. This displays the
Display Properties dialog box. You will find the Change Display Type
dialog box under the Settings tab.
