FCC Class B Radio Frequency Interference Statement
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 interference 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
installation. 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 unauthorized modification
to this equipment. It is the responsibilities of the user
to correct such interference.
As an ENERGY STARPartner Envision Peripherals, Inc.
has determined that this product meets the ENERGY
STAR
guidelines for energy efficiency.
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.

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 cart, stand, or
table. If the monitor falls, it can injure a person and cause
serious damage to the appliance. Use only a cart 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. 1.5A.
The wall socket shall be installed near the equipment and
shall be easily accessible.
Attention: Disconnect the power cord to stop the power
supply to the monitor.
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 of 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 I²C
protocol. The host can request EDID information over the
DDC2B channel.
THIS MONITOR WILL APPEAR TO BE NON-FUNCTIONAL
IF THERE IS NO VIDEO INPUT SIGNAL. IN ORDER FOR
THIS MONITOR TO 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 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 THE 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.
Supplied with units intended for connection to power
outlet of personal computer: Please use a cord set
consisting of a minimum No. 18 AWG, type SJT or SVT three
conductors flexible cord. One end terminates with a
grounding type attachment plug, rated 10A, 250V, CEE-22
male configuration. The other end terminates with a moldedon type connector body, rated 10A, 250V, having standard
CEE-22 female configuration.

POWER CORD
Power Source:
1. Make sure the power cord is the correct type that
required in your area.
2. This monitor has a universal power supply that allows
operation in either 100/120V AC or 220/240V AC voltage
area
(No user adjustment is required).
3. Connect the power cord into your monitor’s power
input socket, and then plug the other end into a 3-pin AC
power outlet. The power cord may be connected to either
a wall power outlet or the power outlet socket on your PC,
depending on the type of power cord supplied with your
monitor.
VIDEO CABLE
Connecting the Video Cable: the monitor comes with a
built-in video cable. Plug the signal cables 15-pin connector
into the computer's video port and tighten the two screws on
the cable connector. (see figure 2)
Caution:Don’t bend the signal cable, otherwise it will
break the inner wire.
Connecting the Power Cord: Plug the power cord into the
monitor's AC power jack. Then plug the power cord into a
grounded AC outlet, UL-approved power strip, or the power
output socket on your PC.
Caution: If the AC outlet is not grounded, install the
proper grounding adapter (not supplied).
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

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

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.
