Important Safety
Instructions

Please read the following safety instructions before installing or cleaning your
Diamond Digital monitor:

1. This monitor must be operated from the type of power source indicated
on the rating label. If you are not sure of the type of power available in
your area, consult your dealer or local electricity supply company.

2. This monitor must be operated with a 3 wire electrical cable that has a
plug with a third (grounding) pin. The plug must only be connected to a
grounded power outlet. This is a safety feature. Australian and New
Zealand customers should use the power cable supplied with the
monitor.

3. Make sure that the power outlet that you plug the monitor into is easily
accessible.

4. Unplug the monitor’s power cable from the wall outlet before cleaning.
Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a soft cloth to clean the
monitor housing and screen.

5. Slots and openings on the back or top of the cabinet are provided for
ventilation. They must not be blocked or covered. This product should
never be placed near or over a radiator or other heat source, or in a
built-in installation unless proper ventilation is provided.

6. Never push objects of any kind, or spill liquid of any kind into the
monitor.

7. Do not attempt to service the monitor yourself as opening or removing
covers may expose you to dangerous voltages or other risks. Removing
the cover of the monitor may void warranty.

8. If any abnormal operation or an accident (such as dropping the unit)
occurs, disconnect the monitor from the wall power outlet and contact a
Mitsubishi Authorised Service Centre (see chapter 8 for details).

Unpacking the Monitor

Please check that the following items are included with your monitor. If they
are missing or damaged, please contact your place of purchase immediately.

♦ Monitor with attached signal cable

♦ Tilt/swivel base

♦ Power cord

♦ User’s manual

Locate the model name and the serial number label on the back of your
monitor and write the details of the monitor and your place of purchase in the
space on page (ii) of this manual for future reference.

Installation

Your monitor is equipped with an automatic power supply with a voltage
range from 100 to 240 Volts AC at a frequency of 50 to 60 Hz.

To install your DV998FD/FDB monitor:

1. Make sure that the computer system’s power is turned off.

2. Carefully turn the monitor upside down on a soft surface, use the arrow

guides to fit the swivel base on to the bottom of the display.

3. Place the monitor on its base and connect the power cord to the monitor

and attach it to a power socket.

4. Connect the computer end of the D-SUB cable to the 15-pin output

connector on the video board of your computer.

5. Turn the monitor and the computer on.

4

If you wish to connect the monitor to an older-type Apple Macintosh
computer, you will need to use a Macintosh cable adaptor (sold separately).
The adaptor connects the video signal cable of your monitor to the video port
of the computer. Your computer dealer should be able to supply you with a
suitable adaptor.

Drivers for Windows 95, 98, 2000, XP and Millennium
Edition

Windows will detect the DV998FD/FDB monitor the first time you turn the
computer on after installing it. The Add New Hardware wizard will prompt for

drivers. Install the standard Windows Plug & Play Monitor driver. This driver

will work correctly and allow you to use the monitor with its optimal
resolutions and refresh rates.

Timing and Refresh Rate Setting

By making adjustments of your video card settings, you can set the timing
and the refresh rate of the graphics signal to match your requirements.
Please consult your operating system’s and graphics adaptor’s
documentation for details about how this may be done.

The monitor will automatically save the changes that you make and use the
new settings whenever you turn it on. The DV998FD/FDB monitor can
accept horizontal scanning frequencies ranging from 30 kHz to 97 kHz and
vertical frequencies from 50 Hz to 160 Hz. However, due to the
requirements of signals with different resolutions, and to avoid possible
damage to your monitor, do not exceed the following maximum vertical
refresh rates.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any trouble using the DV998FD/FDB monitor, make sure
that your monitor is properly installed. (For hardware installation, see
Chapter 4 of this manual.) If the problems persist, please check this chapter
for possible solutions before calling Mitsubishi Electric or one of our
Authorised Service Centres.

No image is displayed

- Check that the light (LED) next to the monitor’s power button is lit and

is green in colour.

- If the LED is flash there is no signal from the computer and the

monitor is in power saving mode. Check that the computer is switched
on. Press a button on the computer keyboard or move the mouse to
wake the computer. If that does not help, check that the VGA cable is
securely plugged into the computer. Also check the pins of the VGA
cable’s connector. If any pins are bent or broken off, then contact your
dealer.

- If the LED is not lit at all, check that the monitor is plugged into the

power socket and that the power switch is turned on at the wall. Check
that the monitor’s power switch is also turned on.

- Video sync signal. The video sync signal from the graphics card must

be as specified for the monitor.

The picture is scrolling or unstable.

- The most common cause of this problem is a loose VGA signal cable

or connector. Check that the cable is securely connected to the
computer.

- Check the VGA signal cable for damage. If any pins are bent or

broken off, contact your dealer or an authorised Mitsubishi Electric
service agent.

- Make sure that the graphics card settings are correct and within the

monitor’s specifications. Change the settings of your graphics card to
values within the monitor’s range.

13

- Remove any magnetic objects that are near the monitor. These

include speakers and power supplies (AC adaptors).

Colours are impure.

- Check that the cable is securely connected to the computer.

- Check the VGA signal cable for damage. If any pins are bent or

broken off, contact your dealer or an authorised Mitsubishi Electric
service agent (see Chapter 8 for details).

- Check the monitor’s colour settings. Press the OK button and select

the Colour Settings menu. Select the 9300k menu item to return to the
factory preset colours and press OK.

- Degauss the monitor using the degauss function of the monitor’s On

Screen Display.

- Remove any objects that can create a magnetic field that may be near

the monitor. These include speakers and power supplies (AC
adaptors).

The image is blurred or there is visible ghosting

- Have you used a VGA extension cable? If so, remove the extension

cable and check the displayed image. Is the image quality improved?
Depending on the characteristics and type of the extension cable,
some blurring or distortion may occur due to conduction losses in the
extension cable. You can minimise the distortion by using an
extension cable with lower conduction losses.

- Have you used a VGA splitter or a video amplifier? Depending on the

characteristics and type of the splitter or amplifier some blurring or
distortion may occur due to the limitations of the device’s bandwidth.
Problems caused by a limited bandwidth will increase as the signal’s
resolution and refresh rate increased. If you need to use a splitter or
amplifier with you monitor, make sure that it is a good quality device
that has sufficient bandwidth for the graphics resolution that you need
to use.
