- when the PDP Monitor exhibits a distinct change in performance
• If you make adjustments yourself, adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating
instructions. Adjusting other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a
qualified technician to restore the PDP Monitor to normal.
• When replacement parts are required, be sure the service technician uses replacement parts specified by
the manufacturer or those that have the same characteristics as the original part. Unauthorized
substitutions may result in additional damage to the unit.
• Upon completion of any service or repairs to this PDP Monitor, ask the service technician to perform
safety checks to determine that the PDP Monitor is in a safe operating condition.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

How to Set up Your PC Software (Windows only)
The Windows display-settings for a typical computer are shown below. But the actual screens on your
PC will probably be different, depending upon your particular version of Windows and your particular
video card. But even if your actual screens look different, the same, basic set-up information will apply
in almost all cases. (If not, contact your computer manufacturer.)
On the windows screen, select in the following
sequence : Start ➝ Settings ➝ Control Panel.
Select the “Settings” tab in the display dialog-box.
The two key variables that apply the PDP-PC
interface are “resolution” and “colors.” The
correct settings for these two variables are:
• Size (sometimes called “resolution”):
640 x 480 pixels.
• Color: “24-bit” color (might also be expressed
as “16 million colors”)Shown at left is a typical
screen for “Display” dialog box.
If a vertical-frequency option exists on your
