7-Wire Cable Configuration
• The Monitor is available to switch between external
adjustment and remote control adjustment using a
control line.
Note: If the control line is high, the monitor is con-
trolled by the external control device. If the control
line is low, the Monitor is controlled by the Monitor's
remote control.
3-Wire Cable Configuration
• When using a 3-Wire cable configuration there is no
control line. The external control device must put the
Monitor into the "change into remote control adjust-
ment mode" (see page 52). The Monitor will then be
able to be controlled by the remote control. If the
Monitor is turned back on, it will revert back to exter-
nal device control.
External Control Device Setup
Type of connector : D-Sub 9-pin male
* Use a null modem cable.
Wire the 7-Wire cable so that each pair of data lines cross between the two devices. These data line pairs
are RXD (Receive data) and TXD (Transmit data), DTR (DTE side ready) and DSR (DCE side ready), and
RTS (Ready to send) and CTS (Clear to send).
When using the 3-Wire cable connected to RXD, TXD and GND; Pin No. 4 (DTR) and Pin No. 6 (DSR) must
be connected to the monitor. (The cable must be disconnected from the Monitor to be able to use the remote
control and Monitor front panel controls.)
* With the RS-232 input connected, the Monitor cannot be controlled by both an external control device and
the remote control at the same time. The Monitor can only be controlled by either the remote control or the
external control device.

Maintenance
Cleaning the screen
1. Here’s a great way to keep the dust off your screen for a while. Wet a
soft cloth in a mixture of lukewarm water and a little fabric softener or
dish washing detergent. Wring the cloth until it’s almost dry, and then
use it to wipe the screen.
2. Make sure the excess water is off the screen, and then let it air-dry
before you turn on your Monitor.
Cleaning the cabinet
To remove dirt or dust, wipe the cabinet with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.
Please be sure not to use a wet cloth.
Extended absence
If you leave your Monitor dormant for a long time (such as a
vacation), it’s a good idea to unplug the power cord to protect
against possible damage from lightning or power surges.
- Early malfunction can be prevented. Careful and regular cleaning can extend the amount of
time you will have with your new Monitor. Be sure to turn the power off and unplug the
power cord before you begin any cleaning.
