2.2 Safety Notice
FCC Notice
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.
Power Safety
1.The AC plug isolates this equipment from the AC supply.
2.The power supply cord serves as a power disconnect device for pluggable equipment. The socket outlet should be
installed near the equipment and be easily accessible.
3.This product should be operated from the type of power indicated on the marked label. If you are not sure of the
type of power available, consult your dealer or local power company.

19” LCD Color Monitor BenQ G900WA
2.3 General Description
This new LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) monitor BenQ G900WA offers numerous features and functions, for
example:
● TFT display (Thin Film Transistor; active matrix)
● minimal space requirements thanks to slim casing
● optimum ergonomic characteristics (totally distortion-free, excellent picture definition and colour purity right into
the corners)
● high degree of brightness and good contrast
● high resolution (1440 x 900)
● presentation of up to 16.7 million colours (in conjunction with an appropriate graphics card)
● automatic scanning of horizontal frequencies from 31 to 83 kHz and refresh rates (vertical frequencies) from 56 to
76 Hz (absolutely flicker-free)
● digital screen controller with microprocessor for storing 20 different display modes
● freely adjustable colour alignment for matching the screen colours to the colours of various input and output
devices
● convenient operation via integrated OSD (On-Screen-display) menu
● VESA-DDC compatibility
● plug&play capability
● power management for reducing power consumption when the computer is not in use
● compliance with the recommendations in accordance with TCO’03
This operating manual contains important information you require to start up and run your LCD monitor.
A graphics card (screen controller) with VGA interface is required to control the BenQ G900WA LCD monitor. The
monitor processes the data supplied to it by the screen controller. The screen controller or the associated driver
software is responsible for setting the modes (resolution and refresh rate).
Additional information
Due to the nature of liquid crystal display (LCD) technology, the picture resolution is always fixed. For the best
display performance, please set the display resolution to 1440 x 900 pixels with an aspect ratio of 16:10. This is
called “Native Resolution” or maximal resolution – that is, the clearest picture. Lower resolutions are displayed on a
full screen through an interpolation circuit. Image blurring across pixel boundaries can occur with the interpolated
resolution depending upon the image type and its initial resolution.
2.4 Related service information
•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. 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).
Since the equipment is compatible with RoHS Directive, use components in which the use of specific chemically
noxious substances is restricted; use only designated spare parts when it is necessary to replace such parts with
new parts.
Use lead-free solder for the equipment compatible with ones with substrates on which lead-free components are
mounted. For the details, refer to “Caution for Lead-Free Soldering Work” given in the next page.
It is important to note that this manual contains various CAUTIONS and NOTICES which should be carefully read in
order to minimize the risk of personal injury to service personnel. The possibility exists that improper service
methods may damage the equipment.
