FCC Class B Radio Frequency Interference Statement
WARNING: (FOR FCC CERTIFIED MODELS)
NOTE: 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.
3. The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused
by unauthorized modification to this equipment. It is the responsibilities of
the user to correct such interference.
WARNING:
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the monitor to rain or moisture.
Dangerously high voltages are present inside the monitor. Do not open the
cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

PRECAUTIONS
zDo not use the monitor near water, e.g. near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen
sink, laundry tub, swimming pool or in a wet basement.
zDo not place the monitor on an unstable cart, stand, or table. If the monitor
falls, it can injure a person and cause serious damage to the appliance. Use
only a cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the
monitor. If you mount the monitor on a wall or shelf, use a mounting kit
approved by the manufacturer and follow the kit instructions.
zSlots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for
ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the monitor and to protect it from
overheating, be sure these openings are not blocked or covered. Do not
place the monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface. Do not place the
monitor near or over a radiator or heat register. Do not place the monitor in a
bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.
zThe monitor should be operated only from the type of power source indicated
on the label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home,
consult your dealer or local power company.
zUnplug the unit during a lightening storm or when it will not be used for long
period of time. This will protect the monitor from damage due to power surges.
zDo not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in
fire or electric shock.
zNever push any object into the slot on the monitor cabinet. It could short
circuit parts causing a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquids on the monitor.
zDo not attempt to service the monitor by yourself; opening or removing
covers can expose you to dangerous voltages and other hazards. Please
refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

SPECIAL NOTES ON LCD MONITORS
The following symptoms are normal with LCD monitor and do not indicate a
problem.
NOTES
•Due to the nature of the fluorescent light, the screen may flicker during initial
use. Turn off the Power Switch and then turn it on again to make sure the
flicker disappears.
•You may find slightly uneven brightness on the screen depending on the
desktop pattern you use.
•The LCD screen has effective pixels of 99.99% or more. It may include
blemishes of 0.01% or less such as a missing pixel or a pixel lit all of the time.
•Due to the nature of the LCD screen, an afterimage of the previous screen
may remain after switching the image, when the same image is displayed for
hours. In this case, the screen is recovered slowly by changing the image or
turning off the Power Switch for hours.
•When the screen becomes black or flashing, or cannot illuminate any more,
contact your dealer or service center to replace parts. Don’t repair the screen
by yourself!

• Active-off Mode
When both the H and V sync signals form the computer are off, the monitor
enters into Active-off Mode which reduces the power consumption to less
than 3W. The screen becomes dark, and the power indicator turns to orange.
From Active-off Mode, the screen reappears instantaneously when the
keyboard or the mouse is touched again.
• The power-saving mode can be indicated by the light-emitting diode (LED) on
the front panel:
FEATURES
Green monitor
•The monitor has a screen saver function that conforms to the VESA standard.
This feature will only work if your PC is a green PC. This feature is similar to a
screen saver, except that your monitor will turn it off instead of activating the
screen saver.
To activate this feature in Windows® 95/98/2000/XP:
In Windows® 95/98/2000/XP, this feature can be activated and customized under
the screen saver setting of the display properties.
1. Right click on the desktop and choose Properties.
2. Click on the tab that says Screen Saver. If your system supports Green PC,
there will be a section entitled “Energy Saving Features of Monitor.” If there
isn’t a section like that, then your PC does not support Green Monitor. The
monitor will behave just like a normal monitor, so you will have to turn it off
manually to save energy.
3. In the “Energy Saving Features of Monitor” sections are two boxes, Power
on and Shut off. To activate either one, click the box next to each one.
4. You can specify the amount of inactive time before your monitor enters shuts
off mode.

PLUG AND PLAY
Plug & Play DDC2B Feature
This monitor is equipped with VESA DDC2B capabilities according to the VESA
DDC STANDARD. It allows the monitor to inform the host system of its identity
and, depending on the level of DDC used, communicate additional information
about its display capabilities.
The DDC2B is a bidirectional data channel based on the I²C protocol. The host
can request EDID information over the DDC2B channel.
THIS MONITOR WILL APPEAR TO BE NON-FUNCTIONAL IF THERE IS NO
VIDEO INPUT SIGNAL. IN ORDER FOR THIS MONITOR TO OPERATE
PROPERLY, THERE MUST BE A VIDEO INPUT SIGNAL.
This monitor meets the Green monitor standards as set by the Video Electronics
Standards Association (VESA) and/or the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) and The Swedish Confederation Employees (NUTEK).
This feature is designed to conserve electrical energy by reducing power
consumption when there is no video-input signal present. When there is no video
input signal this monitor, following a time-out period, will automatically switch to
an OFF mode. This reduces the monitor's internal power supply consumption.
After the video input signal is restored, full power is restored and the display is
automatically redrawn. The appearance is similar to a "Screen Saver" feature
except the display is completely off. The display is restored by pressing a key on
the keyboard, or clicking the mouse.
