This monitor has a Macintosh-compatible display mode for use with a Macintosh-compatible computer. If your computer has this requirement, you will need a special adapter connector to attach to the monitor signal cable.
User Modes
The video controller signal may occasionally call for a mode that is not preset. This may happen for one of the following reasons:
You are not using a Compaq standard graphics adapter.
You are not using a preset mode.
If this occurs, you may need to readjust the size and centering of the monitor screen by using the on-screen display. The monitor will automatically store the new setting as a user mode and automatically recognize the new user mode just as it does a preset mode. Up to four user mode settings can be stored.

Energy Saver Feat u re
This monitor has an energy saver feature that allows the computer to control the power consumption of the monitor. The energy saver feature combines hardware and software components and puts the monitor into a reduced power state when it is not in use.
There are three different modes of operation:
Full power
Suspend
Sleep
Full power mode is the normal mode of operation. The monitor goes into the suspend mode after a user-selectable period of keyboard and mouse inactivity. Sleep mode, which results in a power savings of over 90 percent, activates after a second period of keyboard and mouse inactivity. The length of the inactivity period required before the monitor goes into suspend or sleep mode is determined by you and by settings in the Energy Saver utility.
The following table describes the monitor energy saver levels during the different modes of operation.

Care and Maintenance
This section explains how to care for and maintain your Compaq V70 Color Monitor during normal everyday use.
Protecting the Monitor
To protect your monitor from overheating and other types of damage, follow these suggestions:
Place the monitor at least 4 inches (10 cm) away from the wall.
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.
Turn the monitor off when not using it. You can substantially
increase the life expectancy of the monitor by using a screen saver program and turning off the monitor when it is not in use.
Unplug the monitor from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not
use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation.
These openings must not be blocked or covered. Never push objects of any kind into cabinet slots or other openings.
Do not place plants on top of the monitor. Water or dirt from the
plant may fall into the vents.
Do not drop the monitor or place it on an unstable surface.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not walk on
the cord.
Care and Maintenance 3-1
Page 20
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Keep the monitor in a well-ventilated area, away from excessive
light, heat, and moisture. Keep the monitor away from high capacity transformers, electric motors, and other strong magnetic fields.
In a two-monitor system, place the monitors as far apart from
each other as possible to lessen interference between them.
Do not open the monitor cabinet or attempt to service this
product yourself. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions. If the monitor is not operating properly or has been dropped or damaged, contact your Compaq authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider.
Cleaning the Monitor
To clean the monitor, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the monitor and the computer.
2. Dust the monitor by wiping the screen and the cabinet with a soft, clean cloth.
If the screen requires more than dusting, use an antistatic CRT screen cleaner.
CAUTION: Do not use benzene, thinner, or any volatile substances to clean the monitor. These chemicals may damage the cabinet finish.
Shipping the Monitor
To ship the monitor, follow these steps:
1. Turn off the monitor and the computer.
2. Disconnect the signal cable from the computer.
3. Disconnect the power cable from the electrical power outlet.
4. Unplug the power cable from the back of the monitor.
5. Place the monitor into its original box with its original packing material.
Optimizing Picture Quality
The picture image will stabilize after a warm-up period of 30 minutes. Allow the monitor to warm up prior to performing the following procedures.
3-2 Care and Maintenance
Page 21
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Optimizing Contrast
For best results, set your screen to a dark background (such as the DOS prompt) before adjusting the following settings:
Set the brightness and contrast controls to their lowest levels.
Increase brightness until the background portions of the screen
are visible, then slowly reduce brightness until the background is slightly extinguished.
Adjust contrast control to your preference.
Optimizi ng Focus
The default image size is preset at the factory. The front panel controls 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.
NOTE: Settings that maximize contrast may not offer optimum focus, and settings that maximize focus may not offer optimum contrast.

Appendix C
Electrostati c Discharge
A discharge of static electricity from a finger or other conductor may damage system boards or other static sensitive devices. This type of damage may reduce the life expectancy of the device.
Preventing Electrostatic Damage
To prevent electrostatic damage, observe the following procedures.
Avoid touching pins, leads, or circuitry.
Be properly grounded when touching a sensitive component or
assembly.
Methods of Grounding
Use one or more of the following measures when handling or installing electrostatic-sensitive parts:
Use a wrist strap connected by a ground cord to a grounded
workstation or to the computer chassis. Wrist straps are flexible straps with a minimum of 1 megohm +/- 10 percent resistance in the ground cords. To provide a proper ground, wear the strap snug against the skin.
Use heelstraps, toestraps, or bootstraps at standing workstations.
Wear the straps on both feet when standing on conductive floors or dissipating floor mats.
Use conductive field service mats.
Use a portable field service kit with a folding static-dissipating
work mat.
IMPORTANT: For additional information on static electricity, or assistance with the installation of this product, contact your Compaq authorized dealer, reseller, or service provider.
