Preface
Before using this information and the product it supports, please read the following general information.
1. This Service Guide provides you with all technical information relating to the BASIC CONFIGURATION decided
for Acer's "global" product offering. To better fit local market requirements and enhance product competitiveness,
your regional office MAY have decided to extend the functionality of a machine (e.g.add-on card, modem, or extra
memory capability). These LOCALIZED FEATURES will NOT be covered in this generic service guide. In such
cases, please contact your regional offices or the responsible personnel/channel to provide you with further
technical details.
2. Please note WHEN ORDERING FRU PARTS, that you should check the most up-to-date information available on
your regional web or channel. If, for whatever reason, a part number change is made, it will not be noted in the
printed Service Guide. For ACER-AUTHORIZED SERVICE PROVIDERS, your Acer office may have a
DIFFERENT part number code to those given in the FRU list of this printed Service Guide. You MUST use the list
provided by your regional Acer office to order FRU parts for repair and service of customer machines.
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 interferen ce 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 i nstallation. 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 unauthori zed modification to this
equipment. It is the responsibility 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.
4
Precautions
Do not use the monitor near water, e.g. near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming pool or in
a wet basement.
Do not place the monitor on an unstable trolley, stand, or table. If the monitor falls, it can injure a person and
cause serious damage to the appliance. Use only a trolley 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.
Slots 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.
The 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.
The monitor is equipped with a three-pronged grounded plug, a plug with a third (grounding) pin. This plug will fit
only into a grounded power outlet as a safety feature. If your outlet does not accommodate the three-wire plug,
have an electrician install the correct outlet, or use an adapter to ground the appliance safely. Do not defeat the
safety purpose of the grounded plug.
Unplug the unit during a lightning storm or when it will not be used for long periods of time. This will protect the
monitor from damage due to power surges.
Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.
Never 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.
Do not attempt to service the monitor yourself; opening or removing covers can expose you to dangerous
voltages and other hazards. Please refer all servicing to qualified service personnel
To ensure satisfactory operation, use the monitor only with UL listed computers which have appropriate
configured receptacles marked between 100 - 240V AC, Min. 3.5A.
The wall socket shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.
For use only with the attached power adapter (output 12V DC), which has UL, CSA listed license
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 scree n may remai n 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.

This specification defines the requirements for the 19” MICRO-PROCESSOR based Multi-mode supported high
resolution color LCD monitor . This monitor can be dire ctly connected to general 1 5 pin D-sub VGA connector and 24
pin DVI connector. It also support s VESA DPMS power management and plug & play function. There is a build-in
stereo audio amplifier with OSD control to drive a pair of speakers.
Description
The LCD monitor is designed with the latest LCD technology to provide a performance oriented product with no
radiation. This will alleviate the growing health concerns. It is also a space saving design, allowing more desktop
space, and comparing to the traditional CR T monitor, it consumes less power and gets le ss weight in a ddition MTB F
target is 50k hours or more.
