Safety Instructions

FCC Statement

This equipment has been tested to comply with the limits for a class B digital device, pursuant

to Part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning
the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:

• Relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which

the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Warning:
If a shielded-type power cord is supplied with this monitor, it is required in order to meet FCC
emission limits and to prevent interference with nearby radio and television reception. Only
shielded cables should be used to connect I/O devices to this equipment. You are cautioned
that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void your authority to operate the equipment.

Recommendation for Optimum Performance

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.

CAUTION

• 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.

• Do not scrap or knock the surface of CRT with a pen, a screwdriver and so on.

• Clean the CRT surface with a lint-free, nonabrasive, soft cloth, and should not

use the solution or glass cleaner containing corpuscles like an abrasive,
alcohol and an alkaline solution.

Introduction

The monitor is a multiple frequency high-resolution color monitor for IBM compatible PC's or

Macintosh and workstation systems. The monitor is equipped with microprocessor based

intelligence and multiple frequency scanning capability, allowing it to provide maximum

compatibility for various system platforms.

The monitor uses the latest screen technology including a 0.24mm SONY FD Trinitron® CRT

to display crisp text and vivid color graphics. The full-function digital control and On-Screen

Display (OSD) system provides easy adjustment of image geometry and color settings for

different display modes with the precision of a fixed frequency monitor.

The monitor also has full ergonomic features. In addition to the friendly controls and user

comfort features, the emission level of the electric and magnetic field is kept low to meet the

Swedish MPR II and TCO standards.

The monitor is also equipped with energy saving functions; it is compatible with the VESA

power saving standards.

Furthermore, the monitor has a built-in USB (Universal Series Bus) hub. Please refer to the

"USB SetUp Guide

" for USB hub use information.

Trouble Shooting

Before calling an authorized service center, please check that the items below are properly

connected or set.

In case of using a non-standard signal, please check the pin assignments and the signal

timing of your adapter with the specifications outlined in sections "Pin Assignment Table" and

"Preset Timing Chart".

Problem What to do

Power Indicator (LED) is not lit.

No Picture.

No Signal Input.

Make sure Power control is in the ON

position.

Check the power cable. It must be plugged

in completely.

If the Power Indicator is amber-colored your

computer has sent the monitor into its

Power Save mode (See "Energy

Declaration.")

The video card may not be seated properly.

Make sure it is fully seated in its slot.

Signal Out of range.

Make sure the signal cable is connected

securely to the video card or computer.

Verify that the host system is Plug & Play

compatible.

Check to see if Windows is installed, and

the software key for the Data Display

Channel (DDC) function is enabled.

Determine if original manufacturer's
