4SPECIAL NOTES ON LCD MONITORS The following symptoms are normal with LCD monitor and do not indicate a problem. NOTES • Due to the nature of the fluorescent light, the screen may flicker during initial use. Turn off the Power and then turn it on again to make sure the flicker disappears. • You may find slightly uneven brightness on the screen depending on the desktop pattern you use. • The LCD screen has effective pixels of 99.99% or more. It may include blemishes of 0.01% or less such as a missing pixel or a pixel lit all of the time. • Due to the nature of the LCD screen, an afterimage of the previous screen may remain after switching the image, when the same image is displayed for hours. In this case, the screen is recovered slowly by changing the image or turning off the Power for hours. • The life of the fluorescent light used in the LCD monitor is approximately 20,000 hours. Contact your dealer or service center for replacement when the screen is dark, flickering or not lighting up. Never attempt to replace it by yourself.

11• Active-off Mode When both the H and V sync signals form the computer are off, the monitor enters into Active-off Mode which reduces the power consumption to less than 5W. The screen becomes dark, and the power indicator turns to orange. From Active-off Mode, the screen reappears instantaneously when the keyboard or the mouse is touched again. • The power-saving mode can be indicated by the light-emitting diode (LED) on the front panel: Signal Power Mode Cable Signal Indicator Consumption On Attached Active Green = 25 W (For LXB-L15) Off Attached Blank Orange = 3 W FEATURES Green monitor • The monitor has a screen saver function that conforms to the VESA standard. This feature will only work if your PC is a green PC. This feature is similar to a screen saver, except that your monitor will turn it off instead of activating the screen saver. To activate this feature in Windows® 98/2000/ME: In Windows® 98/2000/ME, this feature can be activated and customized under the screen saver setting of the display properties. 1. Right click on the desktop and choose Properties. 2. Click on the tab that says Screen Saver. If your system supports Green PC, there will be a section entitled “Energy Saving Features of Monitor.” If there isn’t a section like that, then your PC does not support Green Monitor. The monitor will behave just like a normal monitor, so you will have to turn it off manually to save energy. 3. In the “Energy Saving Features of Monitor” sections are two boxes, Power on and Shut off. To activate either one, click the box next to each one. 4. You can specify the amount of inactive time before your monitor enters shuts off mode.
12PLUG AND PLAY Plug & Play DDC1/2B Feature This monitor is equipped with VESA DDC1/2B capabilities according to the VESA DDC STANDARD. It allows the monitor to inform the host system of its identity and, depending on the level of DDC used, communicate additional information about its display capabilities. The communication channel is defined in two levels, DDC1 and DDC2B. The DDC1 is a unidirectional data channel from the display to the host that continuously transmits EDID information. The DDC2B is a bidirectional data channel based on the I²C protocol. The host can request EDID information over the DDC2B channel. THIS MONITOR WILL APPEAR TO BE NON-FUNCTIONAL IF THERE IS NO VIDEO INPUT SIGNAL. IN ORDER FOR THIS MONITOR TO OPERATE PROPERLY, THERE MUST BE A VIDEO INPUT SIGNAL. This monitor meets the Green Monitor standards as set by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) and/or the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and The Swedish Confederation Employees (NUTEK). This feature is designed to conserve electrical energy by reducing power consumption when there is no video-input signal present. When there is no video input signal this monitor, following a time-out period, will automatically switch to an OFF mode. This reduces the monitor's internal power supply consumption. After the video input signal is restored, full power is restored and the display is automatically redrawn. The appearance is similar to a "Screen Saver" feature except the display is completely off. The display is restored by pressing a key on the keyboard, or clicking the mouse.
13 TECHNICAL SUPPORT (FAQ) Problem & Question Possible Solution Power LED is not on *Check if the Power Switch is in the ON position No Plug & Play *Check if the PC system is Plug & Play compatible *Check if the Video Card is Plug & Play compatible *Check if the D-15 plug pin of Video Cable is bent No picture *Computer Power Switch should be in the ON position *Computer Video Card should be snugly seated in its slot *The Signal Cable should be completely connected to the computer *Check the color of the Power LED indicator. If it is orange, then the monitor and the PC system are in screen saver mode. You need press your keyboard or move the mouse to reactivate the system. Picture is fuzzy *Adjust the Contrast and Brightness Controls. Picture bounces or a wave pattern is present in the picture *Move electrical devices that may cause electrical interference. Monitor is stuck in “Power Saving Mode” *Make sure monitor’s video cable is properly connected to the computer. *Inspect monitor’s video cable and make sure none of the pins are bent. *Make sure computer is operational by hitting the CAPS LOCK key on the keyboard while observing the CAPS LOCK LED. The LED should either turn ON or OFF after hitting the CAPS LOCK key. Missing one of the primary colors (RED, GREEN, or BLUE) *Inspect the monitor’s video cable and make sure that none of the pins are bent.
14 Screen image is not centered or sized properly. *Adjust pixel frequency (CLOCK) and FOCUS or press hot-key (AUTO) . Picture has color defects (white does not look white) *Adjust RGB color or select color temperature Poor brightness or contrast *The life time of the back-light is limited.In 20000 Hours the luminance of the light has been reduced to half of its original value. Please send the monitor to an authorized service Agent for service. Horizontal or vertical disturbancies on the screen *Use Win 95/98/2000/ME shutdown mode Adjust CLOCK and FOCUS or perform hot- key (AUTO-key). CLOCK (pixel frequency) controls the number of pixels scanned by one horizontal sweep. If the frequency is not correct, the screen shows vertical stripes and the picture has not correct width. FOCUS adjust the phase of the pixel clock signal. With a wrong phase adjustment the picture has horizontal disturbances in light picture. For FOCUS and CLOCK adjustment use “dot-pattern” or Win 95/98/2000/ME shutdown mode pattern.
15 ERROR MESSAGE & POSSIBLE SOLUTION CABLE NOT CONNECTED : 1. Check that the signal-cable is properly connected , If the connector is loose, tighten the connector’s screws. 2.
