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

Ensure that the arrow on the base faces forward.

Place the LCD securely on the base as shown in the illustration.
