Notes On LCD Monitors
Color TFT-LCD Monitor
1.The LCD panel used in this monitor is a very high technology product with 3,932,160 thin film
transistors, giving you fine picture details. Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the
screen as a fixed point of red, green, blue, white or black. Please note that this does not indicate a
defective panel.
2. Set your resolution to 1280 x 1024 pixels at 60Hz refresh rate for optimum display quality.
3. Due to the nature of the LCD screen, an afterimage of the previous screen may remain after
switching the image when the same image has been displayed for a long time. The monitor will
slowly recover from this.
4. The screen surface is very soft. Do not rub, touch or tap the screen surface with sharp object such
as pen or pencil. This contact may scratch or damage the screen. These damages are not covered
under the warranty.

FCC Class B Radio Frequency Interference Statement
WARNING: (FOR FCC CERTIFIED MODELS)
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
3.Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
NOTICE
1. The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could
void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
2. Shielded interface cables and AC power cord, if any, must be used in order to comply with the
emission limits.

ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency.
V -Chip (US only)
1. Function of V-Chip
The V -Chip can block certain rated television shows off television (if chosen) so children cannot
watch programs that their parents do not approve. The chip in each television will decode
program-rating information which is transmitted along with the television signal. It will then
compare the rating codes with values preset by the viewer, which is meant to be the parents. If
the rating codes are higher than the preset values, the television signal will be blocked, and a
blank screen will be displayed.
2. Setting V-Chip
EN-7500 has V-Chip feature and you can set it up via OSD.
1. Select V -Chip on OSD, then enter 4 digits of pin number(Initial pin number is “0000”).
If you enter an incorrect pin number “Incorrect”message will be displayed for 3 seconds.
2. Use arrow keys to change or to activate the highlighted function.
3. Setting up TV Guidelines
Use arrow buttons to move around the matrix and press Menu button to change the
value from "U" to "B" or "B" to "U“.
