3.4 Installing the Video Card and Video Driver
Before connecting the LCD console, make sure your computer has a video card already
installed for the monitor. After you connect the console, install the video software
driver. The video driver is supplied by the video card manufacturer and may be found
on the CD-ROM that came with your computer. If you need information on installing a
video card or video driver, refer to the manual that came with your video card.
3.4.1 Configuring the Display Settings
After connecting the console and turning on your computer, you may need to
configure one or more of the following display settings:
Display mode (also called desktop area or video resolution) Refresh rate (also called vertical scan rate or vertical sync) Color depth (also called color palette or number of colors)
Each video card has several controls that let you adjust the display settings. However,
the software and driver for each video card is unique. In most cases, you adjust these
settings by using a program or utility provided by the manufacturer of the video card.
Most video cards use the Windows Display Properties control panel to configure the
display. To open the Windows Display Properties, click the right mouse button in a
blank area of the Windows desktop and then select Properties. The Settings tab
usually lets you change the Color Palette and the Desktop Area (x by y pixel
resolution).
Some video cards integrate additional features into the Windows Display Properties
control panel to give you an exceptional setup that is flexible and easy to use. For
example, the control panel may include an Advanced Properties button, an
Adjustment tab, or a Refresh tab for changing other settings. Other video cards have
a separate utility for setting display properties.
Whenever you change the resolution, color, or refresh rate, the image size, position,
or shape may change. This behavior is normal. You can readjust the image using the

sure to tighten all connector screws. Using two hands, grasp the rear of the console,
lift the tab and pull the panel up and forward. This will disengage the momentary on /
off switch and the unit should power on. The LED on the left or under of the monitor
panel should turn from orange to green, verifying that the unit is operational.
3.6 Testing the Console
To test that the console is working properly, perform the following steps:
1. Power up the console, and then turn on your computer.

You can adjust the horizontal and vertical position, contrast, and
brightness to better suit your video card and your personal preference.
Refer to Chapter 2 for more information on using the on-screen menu
to adjust the video display.
Before you begin, make sure that powers to all the devices you will
be connecting up have been turned off. To prevent damage to your
installation due to ground potential difference, make sure that all
the devices on the installation are properly grounded. Consult your
direct vendor for any technical issues if necessary.
