2 Using Your LE500 MonitorSafety precautionsnRead all instructions before using the monitor, and save them for later use.nFollow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.nTo avoid electrical shock, never open the monitor case.nNever use the monitor if the power cable has been damaged. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cable.nThe openings in the monitor cabinet are for ventilation. Do not block or cover these openings. Do not insert anything into these openings. If you put the monitor in a bookcase or some other enclosed space, be sure to leave space for ventilation.nDo not expose the monitor to rain or use near water. Turning on a monitor that has been exposed to moisture will cause damage. If the monitor gets wet, unplug it, and contact technical support.nThis monitor is equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type plug as a safety feature. This plug will only fit into a grounding-type outlet. If you are unable to insert the plug into an outlet, contact an electrician to install the appropriate outlet. Do not try to remove any of the prongs.nIf any problems occur, unplug the monitor and contact technical support.
Setting up the monitor 3Setting up the monitorSetting up the monitor consists of two procedures: attaching the base and connecting the monitor cables.If you are setting up your system for the first time, refer to the setup poster for more information about connecting additional peripherals.To attach the base:1Carefully set the monitor on its side with the bottom of the monitor facing you.2Hold the base so that the narrow end is pointed toward the back of the monitor.3Align the four hooks on the bottom of the base with the corresponding slots on the bottom of the monitor.4Slide the base toward the front of the monitor so that all hooks are securely in place. A retaining latch built into the base clicks into place when the base is correctly attached.5Carefully set the monitor upright and place the monitor on a sturdy, level surface.
4 Using Your LE500 MonitorTo connect the power and video cables:1Position the monitor and the computer so that you can easily get at the back panel of each. Make sure all power cables can reach a properly grounded electrical outlet.AAC power connectorBVideo cable (permanently connected)2Connect the video cable to the matching blue video connector on the back of your computer.3Tighten the screws on the video cable connectors to keep them from coming loose. Tightening the screws also prevents radio and TV interference.4Connect the power cord that came with the monitor to the AC power connector at the back of the monitor. To maintain FCC standards, only use the cord that came with the monitor.5Plug the other end of the power cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet.Removing the baseTo remove the base:1Turn off the system, then disconnect the monitor’s video and power cables.2Carefully set the monitor on its side with the bottom of the monitor facing you.3Rotate the base so that you can easily get to the retaining latch on the bottom of the monitor.A
Setting up the monitor 54Press down on the retaining latch. While holding down the latch, slide the base toward the back of the monitor.
6 Using Your LE500 MonitorStarting the monitorTo start the monitor:1Press the power button once. The power LED lights and the monitor demagnetizes itself for about five seconds.2Turn on the computer.3Once the system is running, the power LED on the monitor should be green. If not, check the connections. For troubleshooting information, see the “Troubleshooting” section of this guide.4Adjust the controls to get the best picture. Experiment with the display settings to choose the ideal image size and position for you. See the “Adjusting display settings” section in this guide for information about changing your display.Caution Do not store tapes or diskettes next to the monitor because the monitor generates a strong magnetic field during startup. This field can erase or damage data stored on magnetic tapes or diskettes.

Power management 11Power managementENERGY STARAs an ENERGY STAR® Partner, Gateway 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 have manufacturers of computer equipment build circuitry into their products to reduce energy consumption during time of non-use.Energy declarationWhen connected to a computer that supports the VESA Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS) Protocol, this monitor can conserve significant energy by reducing power consumption during periods of non-use. When the computer goes into the energy saving mode (Standby), the monitor goes into a suspended operating state and the power LED light changes from a green color to an amber color.After an extended period in the suspended mode, the monitor will then enter the Off mode (different from total shut down). In the Off mode the Power LED will still show amber.By following these conventions the power can be reduced to the following levels:To “wake” the monitor when it is in Standby or Off mode, move your mouse or press any keyboard key.You can change the period of time after which the monitor enters these low power states by accessing the power management options in the Control Panel.VESA state LED indicatorPower consumptionOn GreenStandby Amber Less than 10 WOff Amber Less than 5 W
12 Using Your LE500 MonitorMaintenanceTo keep your monitor in optimal working order:nDo not block the ventilation holes.nDo not expose the monitor to rain or use near water.nKeep the monitor away from radiators or heat vents.nKeep the monitor out of direct sunlight.nKeep the monitor away from any equipment that generates a magnetic field.nClean the monitor using a soft cloth lightly moistened with water. Wipe the cabinet, glass panel, and controls.Caution Do not use any type of abrasive pad or cleaner. You can permanently scratch the glass panel.
Troubleshooting 13TroubleshootingIf you have problems with your monitor, this troubleshooting section may help you identify and fix them.No picturenMake sure the power cord is properly connected to both the back of the monitor and the wall outlet.nMake sure the video cable is securely connected to the back of the computer.nMake sure the monitor power button is on.nIf the power saving indicator is orange or blinking orange:nMake sure that the computer is on.nMove the mouse or press any key on the keyboard to bring the monitor out of sleep mode.nCheck the video connector and the end of the video cable for any pins that might be bent or pushed in.nMake sure that the video cable is not damaged.nRestart the computer with the monitor turned on.nPerform a monitor self-test by turning off your monitor and unplugging the video cable from the back of the computer. Turn the monitor back on and wait for ten seconds. If the monitor is functioning properly, a self-diagnostic screen appears.Important Make sure that the monitor has warmed up for approximately 30 minutes before making any judgments about the picture quality.
