Information Files
This monitor includes a diskette with two information files that should
be installed onto your computer—an .INF file and an .ICM file. The
.INF file defines monitor resources and provides specifications used by
Windows 95 to install support software for certain hardware devices.
The .INF file ensures monitor compatibility with your computer’s
graphics adapter. The .ICM file provides color matching consistency
from monitor screen to printer and is activated from within the graphics
programs that have this feature. To install these files onto your
computer, follow the instructions on the “Configuring Your Compaq
CRT Monitor” card.
Installing the Monitor
To install the monitor, ensure that the power is turned off to the monitor,
computer system, and other attached devices, then follow these steps:
1. Place the monitor in a convenient, well-ventilated location near,
but not on top of, your computer.
WARNING:

the monitor by yourself. This monitor weighs approximately 65 pounds
and is not intended to be placed on top of a computer. However, the
Compaq Deskpro and Compaq Workstation computers are capable of
supporting a monitor that weighs up to 100 lbs. If you are not using a
Compaq Deskpro or Workstation, place the monitor directly on a
desktop or other work surface.
2. Connect one end of the monitor signal cable 2 to the monitor,
and the other end to the 15-pin connector on the rear panel of the
computer and tighten the screws.
Be sure the signal cable aligns with the 15-pin connector. Do

not force the cable onto the connector or you may damage
the signal cable.

equipment:
Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding
plug is an important safety feature.
Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet
that is easily accessible at all times.
Disconnect power from the monitor by unplugging the power
cord from the electrical outlet.
Using BNC Connectors
A signal cable with BNC connectors may be used in place of the 15-pin
signal cable to connect the monitor to the computer. To connect two
computers to the monitor, a BNC connector may be used together with
the 15-pin signal cable. If you have separately purchased a signal cable
with BNC connectors, use the following instructions to connect the
signal cable to the monitor.
Plug and play, Fault Management, and AssetControl are not
✎
supported by the monitor when BNC connectors are used.

1. Connect the five BNC connectors to the monitor. Push in and
twist the connectors clockwise until they are locked into place.
The color of the wires may vary, so refer to the manufacturer's
instructions included with the BNC connectors. The connectors
are color coded from left to right in the following order:
1
White for horizontal sync (H)
2
Black for vertical sync (V)

Using USB Connectors
The base of the monitor has two Universal Serial Bus (USB) connectors
for connecting low-power USB devices. USB connectors provide plug
and play installation of USB-compatible plug and play devices such as a
keyboard, mouse, or joystick. To connect a USB device, ensure the
system is powered on, and plug the USB device into the USB connector.
The USB device is ready to use. Use USB connector ❷ to connect the
USB signal cable to the computer. Use Connectors ❶ and 3 to connect
USB-compatible plug and play devices to the monitor.
IMPORTANT:
These USB connectors are not designed for use with high-power
USB devices such as video cameras, scanners, etc. Compaq recommends
connecting high-power USB devices directly to the computer.
English 1-5
To maintain the integrity of signal transfers on USB devices, do not use
a cable extender with any USB cables. Low-power USB devices usually
have an attached cable that measures about 3 meters.
Most USB-connected devices will operate with Compaq
✎
computers using Microsoft Windows 95, OSR 2.1. If a USBconnected device fails to operate, it may require a special
device driver that is not supplied with this version of Microsoft
Windows. Contact your local vendor for driver availability.
Do not daisy-chain a bus-powered device to a bus-powered hub
✎
device that connects to a USB connector on this monitor. For
example, do not connect a mouse to a keyboard that directly
connects to the monitor. The secondary bus-powered device
will not operate. All USB bus-powered devices should be
connected directly to the monitor or to your computer.
Adjusting Screen Quality
Allow the monitor to warm up for 30 minutes before performing the
following procedures. The screen image stabilizes after a warm-up
period.
Optimizing Brightness and Contrast
For best results, set your screen to a dark background (such as the DOS
prompt) before adjusting the following settings:
1. Set the brightness and contrast controls to their lowest settings.
2. Increase brightness until the background portions of the screen
are visible, then slowly reduce brightness until the background is
just extinguished.
3. Adjust contrast control to your preference.
Optimizing Focus
The default image size is preset at the factory. The Size and Position
controls in the on-screen display can be used to increase the screen size
beyond the default setting. However, expanding the screen image
beyond the default settings may degrade the focus at the outer edge of
the screen.
To enhance focus, use the lowest brightness level that gives satisfactory
results in your viewing environment.
Settings that maximize contrast may not offer optimum focus,
