USB Connectors

The base of the monitor has two Universal Serial Bus (USB)
connectors. Use USB connector ❶ to connect the USB signal
cable to the computer. Use connector ❷ to connect USB
compatible plug and play devices such as a keyboard, mouse, or
joystick if supported by your computer. This feature provides
USB pass-through and does not support USB host requirements.

CAUTION:

The video controller signal may occasionally call for a mode
that is not preset if:

■ You are not using a compatible Compaq graphics adapter.

■ You are not using a preset mode.

If this occurs, you may need to readjust the parameters of the
monitor screen by using the on-screen display. User changes
can be made to any or all of these modes and saved in memory.
The monitor automatically stores the new setting, then
automatically recognizes the new mode just as it does a preset
mode. In addition to the 11 preset modes that can be changed
and stored, there are 4 user modes that can be entered and
stored. When the 4 user mode settings are exceeded, the newest
setting will replace the setting closest to its own setting. When
“Factory Reset” is selected from the OSD menu, the factory
preset values will replace the saved user settings in operation at
the time.

To revert back to the factory default settings, select Reset from
the Factory Reset menu in the on-screen display, and the factory
default resolutions will replace the user changes made for the
operating original display mode.

Care and Maintenance

Protecting the Monitor

This section explains how to care for and maintain your
Compaq monitor during normal everyday use.

To protect your monitor from overheating and other types of
damage, follow these suggestions:

■ Use only a power source and connection appropriate for

this monitor, as indicated on the marking label/back plate.

■ When you connect the monitor to an outlet or extension

cord, be sure the total ampere rating of the products
connected to the outlet does not exceed the current rating of
the electrical outlet, and the total ampere rating of the
products connected to the cord does not exceed the rating of
the cord.

■ Install the monitor near an outlet that you can easily reach.

Disconnect the product by grasping the plug firmly and
pulling it from the outlet. Never disconnect it by pulling the
cord.
