FCC RADIO FREQUENCY INTERFERENCE STATEMENT
WARNING: (FOR FCC CERTIFIED MODELS)
This monitor has been tested and found compliant with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide proper protection against harmful
interference to a residential installation. This monitor generates, uses,
and can radiate radio frequency energy. Harmful interference to radio
communication may result if it is not properly installed and used.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this monitor does cause serious interference to
radio or television reception, resetting the monitor may resolve the
problem. Moreover, users are encouraged to correct interference by
doing one or more of the following:
Reposition or relocate the receiving antenna.
Move the monitor and the receiver further away from each other.
Connect the monitor into an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.
Consult your local dealer or a qualified technician.
FCC Warning:
To assure a continued FCC compliance, a user must use a grounded
power supply cord and the provided shielded video interface cable with
bonded ferrite cores. Also, any unauthorized changes or modifications
to this monitor will void the user’s authority to operate this device.
Note: If necessary, shielded interface cables and the A.C. power cord
must be used to meet the emission level limits.
EMI Certification
The Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian
Interference-Causing Equipment Regulation. Cet appareil numerique
de class B respecte toutes les exigences du Reglement sur Ic materiel
brouilleur du Canada.

Safety Precautions
This monitor is manufactured and tested on the principle that the
user’s safety comes first. However, improper use or installation may
not only damage the monitor but endanger the user as well. As a
safety precaution, go over the following WARNINGS carefully before
installation, and keep this guide handy.
Warnings:
This monitor should be operated only at the correct power
sources indicated on the label at the rear end of the monitor. If
you are unsure of the power supply in your residence, consult
your local dealer or Electricity Supplier.
Do not try to repair the monitor yourself, as it contains no
user-serviceable parts. The monitor should only be repaired by a
qualified technician.
Do not remove the monitor cabinet. There are high-voltage parts
inside that may cause an electric shock even when the power
cord is disconnected.
Stop using the monitor if the cabinet is damaged. Have it checked
by a service technician.
Put your monitor only in a clean, dry environment. Unplug the
monitor immediately if it gets wet, and consult your service
technician.
Always unplug the monitor before cleaning it. Clean the cabinet
with a clean, dry cloth. Apply non-ammonia-based cleaner onto
the cloth, not directly onto the glass screen.
Keep the monitor away from magnetic objects, motors, TV sets,
and transformers.
Do not place heavy objects on the cable or power cord.
For PLUG CABLE EQUIPMENT, the socket outlet should be
installed near the equipment and should be easily accessible.

Troubleshooting Procedures
This LCD Monitor was pre-adjusted in the factory with standard
VGA timing. Due to output timing differences among various
VGA cards, you may initially experience an unstable or unclear
display when a new display mode or new VGA card is selected.
This LCD Monitor Supports Multiple VGA Modes. Refer to timing table
for a listing of the factory-preset modes supported by this LCD Monitor.
PROBLEM: There is no LCD Display
If there is no display on the LCD, please perform the following
steps:
1. Make sure that the power indicator on the LCD
Monitor is lit, all connections are secure, and the
system is running on the correct timing. Refer to
the Addendum for information on timing.
2. Turn off the LCD Monitor and then turn it back on
again. Press the upper Function Control button
(refer to Chapter 2) once and then press either the
upper or lower Adjustment Control button several
times. If there is still no display, press the other
Adjustment Control button several times.
3. If step 2 doesn’t work, connect your PC system to
another external CRT. If your PC System functions
properly with a CRT Monitor but it does not function
with the LCD Monitor, and the LCD Monitor’s power
LED is blinking, the output timing of the PC’s VGA
card may be out of the LCD’s synchronous range.
Please change to an alternate mode listed in
Addendum or replace the VGA card and repeat
steps 1 and 2.
4. If the PC doesn’t function with the CRT monitor
neither, check BIOS to see if there is a dual scan
setting under the display mode item. Set the BIOS
display mode to Dual Scan or CRT and try again. If
there is still no display, then there may be a problem
with your system. Contact technical support.
17
If the power LED is not lit, check to see if the AC
5.
power connector is securely connected. Verify that
the AC adapter LED is lit. If the AC adapter LED is
not lit, please contact your dealer for assistance.
