Microprocessor-based On-Screen Display (OSD) controls let you adjust a variety of image options, automatically storing various user modes, including eight factory preset modes. Introduction EV500-u5.p65 1999/9/16, PM 05:41 Safety Precautions EV500-u5.p65 Read all instructions before using the monitor and save them for later use. Follow all warning and instructions marked on this product. To avoid electrical shock, never open the monitor case. Unplug the monitor from the wall outlet before cleaning. Use only a damp cloth for cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Never use the monitor if the power cable has been damaged. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cable. Keep the cable away from traffic. The openings in the monitor cabinet are for ventilation. Do not block or cover these openings. Do not insert anything into these openings. If you put the monitor in a bookcase or some other enclosed space, be sure to leave space for ventilation. Do not expose the monitor to rain or use it near water. If the monitor gets wet, unplug it and contact Technical Support. This monitor is equipped with a grounding-type plug as a safety feature. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type outlet. If you are unable to insert the plug into an outlet, contact an electrician to install the appropriate outlet. Do not try to remove any of the prongs. If an extension cord is used with this monitor, ensure that the total ampere ratings of the products plugged into the extension cord do not exceed the extension cord’s ampere rating. Also, make sure that the total of all products plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed 15 amperes. If any problem occur, unplug the monitor and contact Technical Support. EV500 User’s Guide 1999/9/16, PM 05:41 Installation Use the following steps to install your monitor. If you are setting up your system for the first time, refer to the setup poster for more information about connecting additional peripherals. Step 1 - Attach the Base your monitor comes with a tilt/swivel base, which is shipped separate from the monitor. Install the base as follows: 1. Carefully set the monitor on its side with the bottom of the monitor facing you. 2. Hold the base so that the narrow end is pointed toward the back of the monitor. 3. Align the four hooks on the bottom of the base with the corresponding slots on the bottom of the monitor. 4. Slide the base toward the rear of the monitor so that all hooks are securely in place. A retaining latch built into the bottom of the monitor clicks into place when the base is correctly attached. 5. Carefully set the monitor upright and place the monitor on a sturdy, even surface. Installation EV500-u5.p65 1999/9/16, PM 05:41 Step 2 - Connect power and signal cables 1. Position the monitor and the computer so that you can easily get at the back panel of each. Make sure all cables can reach a properly grounded electrical outlet. 2. Connect the video cable’s blue connector to the matching blue video card connector on the back of your computer. Ensure that the “D” shape of the connectors match. 3. Tighten the screws on the video cable connector to keep them from coming loose and to prevent radio and TV interference. 4. Connect the power cord that came with the monitor to the AC power connector at the back of the monitor. To maintain mandatory FCC standards, use only the cord that came with the monitor. 5. Plug the end of the power cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet. A. AC power connector B. Attached video cable with blue connector EV500-u5.p65 EV500 User’s Guide 1999/9/16, PM 05:41 Removing the base You can use your monitor without the base to save space or to fit it into a smaller area in a computer desk. Remove the base as follows: 1. Turn off the monitor and disconnect any cables. 2. Carefully set the monitor on its side with the bottom of the monitor facing you. 3. Rotate the base so that you can easily get to the retaining latch on the bottom of the monitor. 4. Press down on the retaining latch. While holding down the latch, slide the base toward the back of the monitor. Installation EV500-u5.p65 1999/9/16, PM 05:41 Operation Starting the monitor 1. Press the power button once. The power LED lights and the monitor demagnetizes itself for about five seconds. Caution! During this time, the monitor generates a strong magnetic field. This field can erase or seriously affect data stored on magnetic tapes or diskettes that are stored or placed next to the monitor. 2. Turn on the computer. 3. Once the system is running, the power LED on the monitor should be green. If not, check the connections and refer to the “Troubleshooting” section of this guide.. 4. Adjust the controls to get the best picture. Experiment with the display settings to choose the ideal image size and position for you. Go to the “Adjusting display setting” section in this guide for information about changing your display. Note: If you need to disconnect the power cord from either the wall socket or monitor, wait 30 seconds after you turn off the monitor before you unplug it. Wait 30 seconds lets the monitor discharge any static electricity from the screen surface so you will not get any static shocks. EV500-u5.p65 EV500 User’s Guide 1999/9/16, PM 05:41 Adjusting display setting This monitor features a flywheel control that lets you adjust and save contrast, brightness, and visual settings for the display image.

Troubleshooting 15 EV500-u5.p65 15 1999/9/16, PM 05:41 Picture is fuzzy Adjust the contrast and brightness controls to improve the display image. Refer to “Adjusting display setting” on page 9. Picture bounces, jitter, or has waves Make sure that: Non-shielded speakers are not placed too close to the monitor. There are no strong magnetic fields close to the monitor. The monitor is not positioned too close to another monitor, electric fan, fluorescent light, metal shelf, or laser printer. If none of these suggestions solves the problem, try plugging the monitor into another outlet, preferably one on a different circuit. Picture has shadows or “ghosts” Remove any extension cables or switchboxes. Check the video connector and the end of the video cable for any pins the might be bent or pushed in. Make sure the video cable is properly connected to the back of the computer. Make sure that the video cable is not damaged. Color is not uniform Make sure the monitor warms up for at least 30 minutes before making a final judgement about color uniformity. Make sure that: • Non-shielded speakers are placed too close to the monitor. • There are no strong magnetic fields close to the monitor. 16 EV500-u5.p65 EV500 User’s Guide 16 1999/9/16, PM 05:41 • The monitor is not positioned too close to another monitor, electric fan, fluorescent light, metal shelf, or laser printer. Press the degauss button on the control panel to demagnetize the screen. Image is not sized or centered properly Use the size and center controls to adjust the display image as desired. Refer to “Adjusting display setting” on page 9 for information about the OSD control system. Image cannot be adjusted full-screen Some video modes used by your monitor produce images that cannot be adjusted all the way out to the bezel edge (the edge where the screen glass and monitor case meet). This condition does NOT indicate that the monitor is defective. Try selecting a different refresh rate or resolution setting, as described on page 11.
