in accordance with the specifications in Part 15 of FCC rules. See instructions if interference to
radio or television reception is suspected.
Radio and television interference
The equipment described in this manual generates, uses, and can radiate radio-frequency
energy. If it is not installed and used properly—that is, in strict accordance with Apple’s
instructions—it may cause interference with radio and television reception.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device
in accordance with the specifications in Part 15 of FCC rules. These specifications are designed
to provide reasonable protection against such interference in a residential installation. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
You can determine whether your computer system is causing interference by turning it off. If
the interference stops, it was probably caused by the computer or one of the peripheral devices.
If your computer system does cause interference to radio or television reception, try to correct
the interference by using one or more of the following measures:
m Turn the television or radio antenna until the interference stops.
m Move the computer to one side or the other of the television or radio.
m Move the computer farther away from the television or radio.
m Plug the computer into an outlet that is on a different circuit from the television or radio.
(That is, make certain the computer and the television or radio are on circuits controlled by
different circuit breakers or fuses.)
If necessary, consult an Apple-authorized service provider or Apple. See the service and support
information that came with your Apple product. Or, consult an experienced radio/television
technician for additional suggestions.

This product was tested for FCC compliance under conditions that included the use of Apple
peripheral devices and Apple shielded cables and connectors between system components. It is
important that you use Apple peripheral devices and shielded cables and connectors between
system components to reduce the possibility of causing interference to radios, television sets,
and other electronic devices. You can obtain Apple peripheral devices and the proper shielded
cables and connectors through an Apple-authorized dealer. For non-Apple peripheral devices,
contact the manufacturer or dealer for assistance.

WARNING
Electrical equipment may be hazardous if misused. Operation
of this product, or similar products, must always be supervised by an
adult. Do not allow children access to the interior of any electrical
product and do not permit them to handle any cables.
What about electromagnetic emissions?
There has been recent public discussion of the possible health effects of
prolonged exposure to extremely low frequency (ELF) and very low
frequency (VLF) electromagnetic fields. Such fields are associated with
electromagnetic sources such as television sets, electrical wiring, and some
household appliances—as well as computer displays.
Apple has reviewed scientific reports and sought the counsel of government
regulatory agencies and respected health orga nizations. Based on the
prevailing evidence and opinions, Apple believes that the electric and
magnetic fields produced by computer displays do not pose a health risk.
In response to those customers who wish to reduce their exposure to
electromagnetic fields, Apple has lowered the emission levels of our products.
We are also actively encouraging further scientific research so we can
continue to promote the health and safety of our customers and employees.

Choosing a good location for your display
Here are some key factors to consider when determining where to place your
display:
m Be sure that the desk or table can support the display’s weight—
approximately 45.2 pounds (20.5 kg).
m Make sure that the power cord will reach an available AC outlet.
m Make sure that the display cable will reach from the back of the display to
your computer. The display cable should be unobstructed when you swivel
and tilt the display, so allow at least 6 inches (15 cm) of clearance in the
back. If you don’t allow enough clearance, the display connector might be
damaged wh en the cable hits an obstruction.
Positioning the display
Once your display is in place, either on top of your computer or next to it
on a desk or table, follow these steps:
1 Place the display so that the screen faces you.
2 Adjust the viewing angle of the display by tilting it up or down and turning it left or right
on its stand.
6
Position the display so that when you use it, no bright light is behind the
display or reflected on the screen. Your eyes should be about level with the
top edge of the screen and between 18 and 28 i nches (45 to 70 cm) away.
Take occasional breaks when using your computer, to focus your eyes on
a distant object.

Do you need a video card?
To use your display, you need compatible video circuitry built into your
computer or a compatible video card installed in your computer. If you are
unsure whether your computer has the appropriate built-in video capability,
check with an Apple-authorized dealer or service provider.
If your computer does not have the video capability necessary to use this
display, you need to purchase a video card. (Video cards are available from an
Apple-authorized dealer or service provider.) Install the video card before you
connect the display to your computer. To install a video card in on e of the
expansion slots inside your computer, see the manual that came with your
computer or video card.
Do you need an adapter connector? Some models of Macintosh computers
with built-in video and some third-party video cards require an adapter
connector to connect the display to the computer. You can acquire an adapter
connector from an Apple-authorized dealer or service provider.

Using more than one display
If your computer has expansion slots, you can use your Apple Multiple Scan
Display with one or more additional displays connected to your computer.
You may need a video card for each additional display you are using. See the
manuals that came with your computer for information on working with
additional displays
Connecting the display to your computer
Follow these steps to connect the display to your Macintosh computer:
IMPORTANT
Before you connect any cords or cables, make sure that your
computer is turned off and unplugged.
WARNING

plug—a plug that has a third (grounding) pin—this plug will fit only a
grounded AC outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert
the plug into the outlet, contact a licensed electrician to replace the
outlet with a properly grounded outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of the
grounding plug!
