Before using the Pattern Generator—VGA (PG-VGA) for the first time, charge it for more than 16 continuous hours. 2. If there is no image while using the PG-VGA, make sure that: a. T he battery is charged. If the battery is dead or faulty, the PG-VGA will not switch on. b. The resolution is bright enough. If the PG-VGA switches on but there is no image, lower the resolution or change the resolution and vertical frequency. Make sure the Sync mode is set to H/V or SOG and supports the monitor. 3. Charge the battery when the battery power indicator is low. 4. The PG-VGA will save the most recent setting automatically. 3.2 Using the Pattern Generator Follow these steps to use the Pattern Generator: 1. Insert the external AC adapter into an AC outlet and connect the power cord to the power jack on the PG-VGA unit. 2. Switch off the video display. 3. Connect the HD15 extension cord between the PG-VGA and the video display. 4. Switch on the video display. 5. Press the PG-VGA’s power key for more than three seconds to switch the unit on/off.
