NOTES
Do not install the monitor in a location near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, or excessive dust or mechanical vibration or shock.
Save the original shipping carton and packing materials, as they will come in handy if you ever have to ship your
monitor.
For maximum protection, repackage your monitor as it was originally packed in 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.

HOW TO OPTIMIZE THE DOS-MODE
PLUG AND PLAY
Plug & Play DDC1/2B Feature
This monitor is equipped with VESA DDC1/2B capabilities according to the VESA DDC STANDARD. It allows the monitor
to inform the host system its identity and, depending on the level of DDC used, communicate additional information about its
display capabilities. The communication channel is defined in two levels, DDC1 and DDC2B.
The DDC1 is a unidirectional data channel from the display to the host that continuously transmits EDID information. The
DDC2B is a bidirectional data channel based on the I
channel.
THIS MONITO WILL APPEAR TO BE NON-FUNCTIONAL IF THERE IS NO VIDEO INPUT SIGNAL. IN
ORDER FOR THIS MONITOR OT 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
2
C protocol. The host can request EDID information over the DDC2B
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.
USING RIGHT POWER CORD
The accessory power cord for the Northern American region is the wallet plug with NEMA 5*15 style and is UL listed and
CSA labeled. The voltage rating for the power cord shall be 125 volts AC.

MACHINE ASSEMBLY
Chapter 3
This chapter contains step-by-step procedures on how to assemble the monitor for maintenance and
troubleshooting.
NOTE:
1. The screws for the different components vary in size. During the disassembly process, collect the screws with the
corresponding components to avoid mismatch when putting back the components.
2. The monitor surface is susceptible to scratching! Therefore, lay the monitor on a soft surface when mounting or removing
the base.

TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Common Acknowledge
If you change the M/B, Please re-do “DDC” programmed &”Auto Color balance”
If Replace “Power & Inverter board” only, please re-do “Auto color balance”.
If you adjust clock and phase, please do it at condition of Windows shut down pattern.
If you confirm the R.G.B. color is normal or not, please do it under 16-grey scalar pattern.
This LCM is analog interface. So if the entire screen is an abnormal color that means the problem
happen in the analog circuit part, if only some scale appears abnormal color that stand the problem
happen in the digital circuit part.
If you check the H/V position, please use the crosshatch pattern.
This LCM support 20 timing modes, if the input timing mode is out of specification, the picture
appears abnormally.
“Auto Color Balance”- Press “>” and “<” together and plug in AC power cord at the same time at
VGA cable in.
