Adjusting monitor settings

Windows controls

Color depth, screen resolution, and screen fonts are three of the most basic monitor settings

you may need to change.

Adjusting the color depth

Color depth is the number of colors your video card uses. Most images look best displayed

with the maximum number of colors available.

Windows lets you choose from several color depth settings for the monitor. We recommend

that you use the 32-bit True Color setting or the highest setting available at all times.

If the color in your images seems “false” or “jumpy,” especially after you have played a

game or run a video-intensive program, check the color depth setting and return it to 32-bit

True Color, if necessary.

To change the color depth:

1Click Start, then click Control Panel. The Control Panel window opens. If your Control

Panel is in Category View, click Appearance and Themes.

2Click/Double-click the Display icon. The Display Properties dialog box opens.

3Click the Settings tab.

14 www.gateway.com

4Click the arrow button to open the Color quality list, then click the color depth you

want.

5Click OK, then click Yes to save your changes.

Adjusting the screen resolution

You can change the screen resolution to a size you prefer. For example, you can increase

the resolution to fit more icons on your desktop, or you can decrease the resolution to

make reading and identifying objects on the monitor easier. The higher the resolution,

the smaller individual components of the screen (such as icons and menu bars) appear.

To change the screen resolution:

1Click Start, then click Control Panel. The Control Panel window opens. If your Control

Panel is in Category View, click Appearance and Themes.

2Click/Double-click the Display icon. The Display Properties dialog box opens.

3Click the Settings tab.

Power management

ENERGY STAR

As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, eMachines has determined that this product meets the

ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency.

This monitor complies with the EPA's International ENERGY STAR Program, which is a

program designed to encourage manufacturers of computer equipment to build circuitry

into their products to reduce energy consumption during time of non-use.

Energy declaration

When connected to a computer that supports the VESA Display Power Management

Signaling (DPMS) Protocol, the monitor can conserve significant energy by reducing power

consumption during periods of non-use. When your computer goes into the energy saving

mode, the monitor will then enter the Active Off mode (sleep). In the Active Off mode

the Power LED will still show orange.

Use these conventions and the power can be reduced to the following levels:

To “wake” the monitor when it is in Active Off mode, move the mouse or press any

keyboard key.

Access the power management options in the Control Panel to change the period of time

after which the monitor enters these low power states.

The monitor has pixels that are always dark or too

bright

This condition is normal and inherent in the TFT technology used in active-matrix LCD

screens. eMachines’ inspection standards keep these to a minimum. If you feel these pixels

are unacceptably numerous or dense on your display, contact eMachines Customer Care

to identify whether a repair or replacement is justified based on the number of pixels

affected.

Important safety information

Your eMachines product is designed and tested to meet the latest standards for safety of information technology

equipment. However, to ensure safe use of this product, it is important that the safety instructions marked on the

product and in the documentation are followed.

Setting up your system

■Read and follow all instructions marked on the product and in the documentation before you operate your

system. Retain all safety and operating instructions for future use.

■Do not use this product near water or a heat source such as a radiator.

■Set up the system on a stable work surface.

■The product should only be operated from the type of power source indicated on the rating label.

■If your product has a voltage selector switch, make sure that the switch is in the proper position for your area.

The voltage selector switch is set at the factory to the correct voltage.

■Openings in the monitor case are provided for ventilation. Do not block or cover these openings. Make sure

you provide adequate space, at least 6 inches (15 cm), around the system for ventilation when you set up your

work area. Never insert objects of any kind into the monitor ventilation openings.

■Some products are equipped with a three-wire power cord to make sure that the product is properly grounded

when in use. The plug on this cord will only fit into a grounding-type outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are

unable to insert the plug into an outlet, contact an electrician to install the appropriate outlet.

■If you use an extension cord with this system, make sure that the total ampere rating on the products plugged

into the extension cord does not exceed the extension cord ampere rating.

■If your system is fitted with a TV Tuner, cable, or satellite receiver card, make sure that the antenna or cable

system is electrically grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and buildup of static charges.

Warning Always follow these instructions to help guard against personal injury

and damage to your eMachines product.

27

www.gateway.com

Care during use

■Do not walk on the power cord or allow anything to rest on it.

■Do not spill anything on the system. The best way to avoid spills is to avoid eating and drinking near your

system.

■Do not expose the monitor to rain or use near water. If the monitor does get exposed to moisture, unplug it

and allow it to dry for 24 hours. Call eMachines Customer Care for advice on whether the monitor is safe to

turn back on.

■When the monitor is turned off, a small amount of electrical current still flows through the monitor. To avoid

electrical shock, always unplug all power cables and modem cables from the wall outlets before cleaning the

system.

■Unplug the system from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified personnel if:

■The power cord or plug is damaged.

■Liquid has been spilled into the system.

■The system does not operate properly when the operating instructions are followed.

■The system was dropped or the cabinet is damaged.

Environmental information

The product you have purchased contains extracted natural resources that have been used in the manufacturing

process. This product may contain substances known to be hazardous to the environment or to human health.

To prevent releases of harmful substances into the environment and to maximize the use of our natural

resources, eMachines provides the following information on how you can responsibly recycle or reuse most of

the materials in your “end of life” product.

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (commonly known as WEEE) should never be disposed of in the

municipal waste stream (residential garbage collection). The “Crossed-Out Waste Bin” label affixed to this

product is your reminder to dispose of your “end of life” product properly.

Substances such as glass, plastics, and certain chemical compounds are highly recoverable, recyclable, and

reusable. You can do your part for the environment by following these simple steps:

■When your electrical or electronic equipment is no longer useful to you, “take it back” to your local or regional

waste collection administration for recycling.

■In some cases, your “end of life” product may be “traded in” for credit towards the purchase of new eMachines

equipment. Call eMachines to see if this program is available in your area.

■If you need further assistance in recycling, reusing, or trading in your “end of life” product, you may contact us

at the Customer Care number listed in your product’s user guide and we will be glad to help you with your

effort.

Finally, we suggest that you practice other environmentally friendly actions by understanding and using the

energy-saving features of this product (where applicable), recycling the inner and outer packaging (including

shipping containers) this product was delivered in, and by disposing of or recycling used batteries properly.

With your help, we can reduce the amount of natural resources needed to produce electrical and electronic

equipment, minimize the use of landfills for the disposal of “end of life” products, and generally improve our

quality of life by ensuring that potentially hazardous substances are not released into the environment and are

disposed of properly.
