Safety

National Conventions

The following subsections describe notational conventions used in this document.

Notes, Cautions, and Warnings

Throughout this guide, blocks of text may be accompanied by an icon and printed in bold type or in italic type. These blocks are notes, cautions, and warnings, and they are used as follows:

NOTE: A NOTE indicates important information that helps you make better use of your computer system.

CAUTION: A CAUTION indicates either potential damage to hardware or loss of data and tells you how to avoid the problem.

WARNING: A WARNING indicates the potential for bodily harm and tells you how to avoid the problem.Some warnings may appear in alternate formats and may be unaccompanied by an icon. In such cases, the specific presentation of the warning is mandated by regulatory authority.

Power

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.

To ensure satisfactory operation, use the monitor only with UL listed computers which have appropriate configured receptacles marked between 100 - 240V AC, Min. 5A

The wall socket shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

For use only with the attached power adapter (Output 12Vdc) which have UL,CSA listed license (Only for monitors with power adapter).

Installation

Do not place the monitor on an unstable cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. If the monitor falls, it can injure a

person and cause serious damage to this product. Use only a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table recommended by

the manufacturer or sold with this product. Follow the manufacturer‟s instructions when installing the product and

use mounting accessories recommended by the manufacturer. A product and cart combination should be moved with care.

Never push any object into the slot on the monitor cabinet. It could damage circuit parts causing a fire or

electric shock. Never spill liquids on the monitor.

Do not place the front of the product on the floor.

If you mount the monitor on a wall or shelf, use a mounting kit approved by the manufacturer and follow the kit

instructions.

Leave some space around the monitor as shown below. Otherwise, air-circulation may be inadequate hence

overheating may cause a fire or damage to the monitor.

See below the recommended ventilation areas around the monitor when the monitor is installed on the wall or on the stand:

Cleaning

Clean the cabinet regularly with the cloth provided. You can use soft-detergent to wipe out the stain, instead

of strong-detergent which will cauterize the product cabinet.

When cleaning, make sure no detergent is leaked into the product. The cleaning cloth should not be too rough

as it will scratch the screen surface.

Please disconnect the power cord before cleaning the product.

Other

If the product is emitting a strange smell, sound or smoke, disconnect the power plug IMMEDIATELY and

contact a Service Center.

Make sure that the ventilating openings are not blocked by a table or curtain.

Do not engage the LCD monitor in severe vibration or high impact conditions during operation.

Do not knock or drop the monitor during operation or transportation.

If your monitor displays an image, installation is complete. If it does not display an image, please refer Troubleshooting.

Wall Mounting

Preparing to Install An Optional Wall Mounting Arm.

This monitor can be attached to a wall mounting arm you purchase separately. Disconnect power before this procedure. Follow these steps:

1 Remove the base. 2 Follow the manufacturer's instructions to assemble the wall mounting arm. 3 Place the wall mounting arm onto the back of the monitor. Line up the holes of the arm with the holes in the back of the monitor. 4 Insert the 4 screws into the holes and tighten. 5 Reconnect the cables. Refer to the user's manual that came with the optional wall mounting arm for instructions on attaching it to the wall.

Troubleshoot

Problem & Question

Possible Solutions

Power LED Is Not ON

Make sure the power button is ON and the Power Cord is properly connected to a grounded power outlet and to the monitor.

No images on the screen

Is the power cord connected properly?

Check the power cord connection and power supply.

Is the cable connected correctly? (Connected using the D-sub cable) Check the DB-15 cable connection. (Connected using the DVI cable) Check the DVI cable connection. * DVI input is not available on every model.

If the power is on, reboot the computer to see the initial screen (the login screen), which can be seen. If the initial screen (the login screen) appears, boot the computer in the applicable mode (the safe mode for Windows ME/XP/2000) and then change the frequency of the video card. (Refer to the Setting the Optimal Resolution) If the initial screen (the login screen) does not appear, contact the Service Center or your dealer.

Can you see "Input Not Supported" on the screen? You can see this message when the signal from the video card exceeds the maximum resolution and frequency that the monitor can handle properly. Adjust the maximum resolution and frequency that the monitor can handle properly.

Make sure the AOC Monitor Drivers are installed.

Picture Is Fuzzy & Has Ghosting Shadowing Problem

Adjust the Contrast and Brightness Controls. Press to auto adjust. Make sure you are not using an extension cable or switch box. We recommend plugging the monitor directly to the video card output connector on the back .
