• Connect the serial port of the control device to the RS-232C jack on the Monitor back panel.
• RS-232C connection cables are not supplied with the Monitor.
• The Monitor remote control and front panel controls (except main power) will not be functional if the Monitor is controlled by a PC computer or other external device.

* 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.

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 controlled 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 adjustment 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 external device control.

Maintenance
Basic operation
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.
