AboutThisManual

About the VRE01

The VRE01 is a monochrome electroluminescent flat panel monitor with
a 346 mm by 292 mm (13.5 in by 11.5 in) display. When connected to a
host system, the VRE01 monitor displays information you send to the host
system and information the host system sends to you. The monitor uses
either a keyboard or a mouse as the data input devices.

The VRE01 monitor can be used in a standard or Electromagnetic
Interference (EMI-protected) configuration. The EMI version requires
a special video cable.

The kind of host system you have affects the way you prepare to operate
your monitor. Refer to your host system manuals for the following
information:

• Whether an option module must be installed in the host system to
support your monitor.

• Whether your host system has a video cable assembly to connect the
monitor.

WARNINGS, CAUTIONS, NOTES

The warnings, cautions, and notes in this installation manual have
specific purposes.

WARNINGS contain important information that relate to personal safety.
CAUTIONS contain information to prevent damage to the equipment.
