Safety Instructions
Please read and follow these instructions when connecting and using your computer
monitor:
•
To help avoid damaging your computer, be sure the voltage selection switch on the
power supply is set to match the alternating current (AC) power available at your
location:
— 115 volts (V)/60 hertz (Hz) in most of North and South America and some Far
Eastern countries such as Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan
— 230 V/50 Hz in most of Europe, the Middle East, and the Far East
Also be sure your monitor is electrically rated to operate with the AC power available in
your location.
•
Never insert anything metallic into the monitor openings. Doing so may create the
danger of electric shock.
•
To avoid electric shock, never touch the inside of the monitor. Only a qualified technician should open the monitor’s case.
•
Never use your monitor if the power cord has been damaged. Do not allow anything to
rest on the power cord, and keep the cord away from where people could trip over it.
•
Be sure to hold the plug, not the cord, when disconnecting the monitor from an electric socket.
•
Openings in the monitor cabinet are provided for ventilation. To prevent overheating,
these openings should not be blocked or covered. Also, avoid using the monitor on a
bed, sofa, rug, or other soft surface. Doing so may block the ventilation openings in
the bottom of the cabinet. If you put the monitor in a bookcase or some other
enclosed space, be sure to provide adequate ventilation.
•
Put your monitor in a location with low humidity and a minimum of dust. Avoid places
like damp basements or dusty hallways.
•
Do not expose the monitor to rain or use it near water (in kitchens, next to swimming
pools, etc.). If the monitor accidentally gets wet, unplug it and contact an authorized
dealer immediately. You can clean the monitor with a damp cloth when necessary, but
be sure to unplug the monitor first.
•
Place the monitor on a solid surface and treat it carefully. The screen can be damaged
if dropped, sharply hit or touched with a sharp or abrasive implement.
•
Locate your monitor near an easily accessible AC outlet.
•
If your monitor does not operate normally – in particular, if there are any unusual
sounds or smells coming from it – unplug it immediately and contact an authorized
dealer or service center.

•
High temperatures can cause problems. Don’t use your monitor in direct sunlight, and
keep it away from heaters, stoves, fireplaces, and other sources of heat.
•
Unplug the monitor when it is going to be left unused for an extended period of time.
•
Unplug your monitor from the AC outlet before any service.

Turn on your computer and monitor. If your monitor displays an image,
installation is complete.
9.
Perform the auto adjustment procedure as described in “Auto Adjustment,”
below.
Getting Help
If your monitor does not display an image, check your cable connections and refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 13. If you experience difficulties with the quality of the displayed
image, run auto adjustment again and refer to “Adjusting Your Monitor” on page 7 or “Troubleshooting” on page 13.
Plug and Play
Our adoption of the new VESA® Plug and Play solution eliminates complicated and time
consuming setup. It allows you to install your monitor in a Plug and Play compatible system
without the usual hassles and confusion. Your PC system can easily identify and configure
itself for use with your display. This monitor automatically tells the PC system its Extended
Display Identification (EDID) data using Display Data Channel (DDC) protocols so the PC
system can automatically configure itself to use the flat panel display.
Auto Adjustment
Even though your computer system can recognize your new flat panel display system, the
auto adjustment function will optimize the display settings for use with your computer.
Auto Adjustment can be accessed through the On-Screen Menu, See “Image Lock:” on
page 10 or use the direct access instructions below:
1.
Turn on your computer and monitor.
2.
Push the EXIT button to open the Auto Adjustment OSM.
3.
Push the + button to activate the Auto Adjustment function. The screen will
dim and you may notice small changes to the screen image.
To abort the Auto Adjustment function, press the EXIT button again.
4.
When finished, the screen will stop changing. Press the EXIT button to leave
the OSM or allow the OSM to timeout and disappear automatically.

Maintenance of Your Flat Panel Display
WARNING: To avoid risk of electric shock, do not disassemble the monitor cabinet (except for gaining access to the cable connectors as described on page 3).
The unit is not user-serviceable. User maintenance is restricted to cleaning as
explained below:
Unplug the monitor from the power outlet before cleaning.
•
To clean your flat panel display screen, lightly dampen a soft, clean cloth with water or
mild detergent. If possible, use a special screen cleaning tissue or solution suitable for
the antistatic coating.
•
To clean the monitor cabinet, use a cloth lightly dampened with a mild detergent.
•
Never use flammable cleaning material to clean your flat panel display or any other
electrical apparatus.
Monitor Self Test
Your monitor provides a self test feature which allows you to check if your monitor is functioning properly. If your monitor and computer are properly connected but the monitor
screen remains dark and the power indicator is blinking, use the following steps to perform
the monitor self test:
1.
Turn off both your computer and the monitor.
2.
Unplug the video cable from the computer or video card.
3.
Turn on the monitor.
If the monitor is functioning properly, you will see a white box with a red border and
black text inside stating:
No Connection
Check Signal Cable
Figure 1-5. Monitor self test screen
The three boxes inside the border are red, green and blue. Failure of any of the boxes
to appear indicates a problem with your monitor. This box will also appear during normal operation of your system if the video cable becomes disconnected or damaged.
4.
Turn off your monitor and reconnect the video cable; then turn on both your
computer and monitor.
If your monitor screen remains blank after using the above procedure, check your
video controller and computer system; your monitor is functioning properly.
