LCD Monitor outside this range could result in permanent damage.
6. If any of the following occurs, immediately unplug your monitor and call an authorized technician.
* Monitor to PC signal cable is frayed or damaged.
* Liquid spilled into LCD Monitor or the monitor has been exposed to rain.
* LCD Monitor or the case is damaged.
7. Only use the supplied main lead to connect the monitor. For a nominal current up to 6A and a
device weight above 3 kg, a line not lighter than H05VV-F, 3G, 0.75 mm

must be used.
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.

Chapter 1 Installation
Unpacking
Before unpacking the LCD Monitor, prepare a suitable workspace for your Monitor and computer. You
need a stable and clean surface near a wall power outlet. Make sure that LCD Monitor has enough
space around it for sufficient airflow. Though the LCD Monitor uses very little power, some
ventilation is needed to ensure that the Monitor does not become too hot.
After you unpack the LCD Monitor, make sure that the following items were included in the box:
* LCD Monitor
* Base
* User's Manual
* Quick Setup Guide
* 1.8M Monitor-to-PC D-SUB Cable
* 1.8M S-tereo Jack Audio Cable
* 1.8M Power Cord
If you find that any of these items is missing or appears damaged, contact your dealer immediately.
Connecting the LCD Monitor and Base
1.
Take the base from the package, and place it on a stable
surface (e.g., desk or table).
2.
Ensure that the arrow on the base faces forward.
3.
Place the LCD securely on the base as shown in the
illustration.
Figure 1-1
Viewing Angle Adjustment
The LCD Monitor is designed to allow users to have
a comfortable viewing angle. The viewing angle can
be adjusted from -5°to +15°.(See fig. 1-2)
Figure 1-2
Warning
Do not force the LCD Monitor over its maximum viewing angle settings as stated above. Attempting
this will result in damaging the Monitor and Monitor stand.

Detaching LCD Monitor from Its Stand
Unscrew screws the swivel base support column and pull
down the hinge to release.
Interface for Arm Applications
Before installing to mounting device, please refer to
Fig.1-3.
The rear of this LCD display has four integrated 4 mm, 0.7
pitches threaded nuts, as well as four 5 mm access holes in
the plastic covering as illustrated in Figure 1-4. These

have to ship your monitor.
‧ For maximum protection, repackage your monitor as it was originally packed at the factory.
‧ To keep the monitor looking new, periodically clean it with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains may be
removed with a cloth lightly dampened with a mild detergent solution. Never use strong solvents
such as thinner, benzene, or abrasive cleaners, since these will damage the cabinet. As a safety
precaution, always unplug the monitor before cleaning it.

Troubleshooting
This LCD Monitor has pre-adjusted using factory standard VGA timings. Due to the output timing
differences among various VGA cards in the market, users may initially experience an unstable or
unclear display whenever a new display mode or new VGA card is selected.
Attention
This LCD Monitor Supports Multiple VGA Modes.
Refer to the Standard Timing Table for a listing of modes supported by this LCD Monitor.
PROBLEM Picture is unclear and unstable
The picture is unclear and unstable, please perform the following steps :
1. Enter PC to “Shut Down Windows” status while you’re in MS-Windows environment, except
Windows XP. In Windows XP open the specific application where the problems appear.
2. Check the screen to see if there’s any black vertical stripes appear. If there are, take advantage of
the “Clock” function in OSD menu and adjust (by increment or decrement numbers) until those bars
disappear.
3. Move to “Phase” function in OSD menu again and adjust the monitor screen to its most clear
display.
4. Click “No” on “Shut Down Windows” and back to the normal PC operating environment.
PROBLEM There is no picture on LCD Monitor
If there’s no picture on the LCD Monitor, please perform the following steps:
1. Make sure the power indicator on the LCD Monitor is ON, all connections are secured, and the
system is running on the correct timing. Refer to Chapter 3 for information on timing.
2. Turn off the LCD Monitor and then turn it back on again. If there is still no picture, press the
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, the output
timing of the VGA card may be out of the LCD’s synchronous range. Please change to an
alternative mode listed in the Standard Timing Table or replace the VGA card, and then repeat steps
1 and 2.
PROBLEM There is no picture on LCD Monitor
If you have chosen an output timing that is outside of the LCD Monitor’s synchronous range
(Horizontal: 24 ~ 60 KHz and Vertical: 49 ~ 75 Hz), the OSD will display a “Out of Range” message.
Choose a mode that is supported by your LCD Monitor.
Also, if the signal cable is not connected to LCD monitor at all or properly, the monitor screen will
display a message “No Input Signal”.
