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. 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.

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.

IMPORTANT

Setting Up

The Apple Multiple Scan 14 Display is a color monitor with a diagonal viewable image size of 12.4 inches that supports a variety of resolutions, and has a built-in amplifier and stereo speakers for producing sounds and playing music. The instructions in this chapter discuss important safety information, setting up and connecting the monitor to your computer, and installing the monitor software on your computer.

Important safety instructions

For your own safety and that of your equipment, always take the following precautions.

Disconnect the power plug (by pulling the plug, not the cord) if any of the following conditions exists:

m the power cord or plug becomes frayed or otherwise damaged m you spill something into the case m your monitor is exposed to rain or any other excess moisture m your monitor has been dropped or the case has been otherwise damaged m you suspect that your monitor needs service or repair m you want to clean the case (use only the recommended procedure

described in “Care and Cleaning” in Chapter 4)

IMPORTANT

The only way to disconnect power completely is to unplug the power cord. Make sure at least one end of the power cord is within easy reach so th at you can unplug the monitor when you need to.

WARNING

Be sure to keep the monitor’s vents free from obstructions.

Otherwise, overheating and damage to the monitor may occur.

Be sure that you always do the following: m Keep your monitor away from sources of liquids, such as wash basins,

bathtubs, shower stalls, and so on.

m Don’t rem ove the cover of the monitor. m Don’t set anything on top of the monitor (such as a book or cup). m Protect your monitor from dampness or wet weather, such as rain, snow,

and so on.

m Read all the installation instructions carefully before you plug your

monitor into a power source.

m Keep these instructions handy for reference by you and others. m Follow all instructions and warnings dealing with your system.

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 e l ectromagnetic 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 monitors.

Chapter 1

Apple has reviewed scientific reports and sought the counsel of govern ment regulatory agencies and respected health organizations. Based on the prevailing evidence and opinions, Apple believes that the electric and magnetic fields produced by computer monitors 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 goo d location for your monitor

Here are some key factors to consider when determi ning where to place your monitor:

m Be sure that the desk or table can support the monitor’s weight—

approximately 25 pounds (11 kilograms).

m Make sure that the power cord will reach an available three-hole grounded

AC outlet.

m Make sure the monitor cable will reach from the back of the monitor to

your computer. Th e monitor cable should be unobstr ucted when you swivel and tilt the monitor, so allow at least 6 inches (15 cm) of clearance in the back. If you don’t allow enough clearance, the monitor connector might be damaged when the cable hits an obstruction.

Installing the monitor base

After choosing a good location for the monitor, install the monitor base. The monitor is intended to be op erated with the base attached. It’s recommended that you install the base before plugging in the display.

1Place the monitor on its side to expose the mounting, where the base will be attached. 2Holding the base so that the latch is toward the back of the monitor, insert the base into

the mounting.

Mounting

Release latch

As you insert the base, fit the hooked tabs into the slots in the mounting.

Setting Up

3Slide the base forward to lock it into the mounting.

Push the base forward about 1⁄4 inch (.5 cm) toward the front of the monitor to seat the base.

With the base now mounted, turn the monitor upright so that it sits on the base.

If you should ever need to remove the base, press its release latch and then gently pull the base toward the rear of the monitor until you can withdraw the tabs from the mounting.

Positionin g t he monitor

Once your monitor is in place, either on top of your computer or next to it on a desk or table, follow these steps:

1Place the monitor so that the screen faces the user. 2To slide the monitor, lift the front up slightly and push or pull in the direction you want. 3Adjust the viewing angle of the monitor by tilting it up or down and turning it left or right

on its stand.

Position the monitor so that when you use it, no bright light is behind the monitor or reflected on the screen. Your eyes should be about level with the top edge of the screen and between 18 and 28 inches (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 th e Apple Multiple Scan 14 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 monitor, you need to purchase a video card. (Video cards are available from an Apple-authorized dealer or service provider.) I nstall the video card before you connect the monitor to your computer. To install a video card in one of the expansion slots inside your computer, see the manual that came with your computer or video card.

Setting Up

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 monitor to the computer. You can get an adapter connector from an Apple-authorized dealer or service provider.

Using more than one monitor

If your computer has expansion slots, you can use the Apple Multiple Scan 14 Display with one or more additional monitors connected to your computer. You may need a video card for each additional monitor you are using. See the manuals that came with your computer for information on working with additional monitors.

Connecting the monitor to your computer

Foll o w thes e steps to connect the Apple Multiple Scan 14 Display to your computer:

IMPORTANT

Before you connect any cords or cables, make sure that your

computer is turn ed off and unplugged.

WARNING

This equipment is intended to be electrically grounded. Your monitor is equipped with a three-wire grounding 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!
