INTRODUCTION
Introduction
The monitor is a multiple frequency high-resolution color monitor for PC-compatible
or Macintosh family and workstation systems. The monitor is equipped with
microprocessor-based intelligence and multiple frequency scanning capability,
English
allowing it to provide maximum compatibility for various system platforms.
The monitor uses the latest screen technology including a 0.22 mm horizontal dot
pitch, High Contrast CRT to display crisp text and vivid color graphics with a
maximum resolution up to 1600 x 1200 pixels. Furthermore, it supports VESA 85Hz
modes to provide a flicker-free display. The full-function digital control and OnScreen Display (OSD) system provide easy adjustment of image geometry and color
settings for different display modes with the precision of a fixed frequency monitor.
The design of the monitor is also ergonomically concerned. In addition to the
friendly controls and user comfort features, the emission level of the electric and
magnetic fields is kept low to meet the Swedish MPR II standards or TCO 95
(optional).
The monitor is also equipped with energy saving functions. It is compatible with the
VESA power saving standards. The lowest power consumption is less than 8 Watts.

INTRODUCTION
Recommended Use of the Monitor
When setting up and using the monitor, pay special attention to the following for
optimum performance:
• Do not use your monitor against a bright background or where sunlight or
other light sources will shine directly on the screen.
• The monitor should be placed just below eye level (10°-15°) for optimum
viewing.
• Set the monitor's brightness to match the ambient room light.
• For optimum focus, the contrast control should not be set to the maximum
level unless the input signal level is extremely low. Also, the brightness
control should be set to a point where the overall background area just
begins to disappear.
• Allow adequate ventilation around the monitor so that the heat from the
monitor can properly dissipate.
• Neither the monitor itself, nor any other heavy objects, should rest on the
power cord. Damage to the power cord can cause fire or electrical shock.
• Keep the monitor away from high-capacity transformers, electrical motors,
or other strong magnetic fields.
• Your monitor should not be used in damp, dusty, or dirty areas.
• Handle your monitor with care when transporting it.
Master Power Reset Switch
The black Master Power Reset switch on the left side of the back of the monitor is
installed for technician use when the monitor is being serviced. Be sure this switch
is turned on after you first install the monitor. Always leave this Power Reset switch
in the ON position. Do not use this switch to power on and power off the monitor.
Use the power switch on the front panel to power on and power off the monitor.

CAUTION
• Do not scratch or bump the surface of the CRT with a pen, a
!
screwdriver, etc.
• Clean the CRT surface with a lint-free, nonabrasive, soft cloth,
and do not use a solution or glass cleaner that contains abrasives, alcohol, or an alkaline solution such as ammonia.

5. Picture is fuzzy:
• Adjust the Brightness and Contrast controls in the OSD.
• Push the Degauss button once.
CAUTION: Do not press the Degauss button more than once every 20 minutes when
not switching between modes. Do not hold the button down continuously.
6. Picture bounces or wave patterns are present on the screen:
• Relocate electrical devices that may be causing electrical interference.
• See the FCC information in the front of this manual.
7. Display edges are curved inward or outward:
• Adjust the Pincushion control.
8. Colors are blotchy:
