E

OK

If the monitor begins to emit smoke, smells like something is burning, or makes strange noises, disconnect all power connections immediately and contact your dealer for advice.

Attempting to use a malfunctioning monitor can be dangerous.

Do not dismantle the cabinet or modify the monitor.

Dismantling the cabinet or modifying the monitor may result in electric shock or burn.

Keep small objects away from the monitor.

Small objects may accidentally fall through the ventilation slots into the cabinet, leading to fire, shock, or equipment damage.

Keep liquids away from the monitor.

Spillage into the cabinet may result in fire, electric shock, or equipment damage.

If an object or liquid falls/spills into the cabinet, unplug the monitor immediately. Have the unit checked by a qualified service engineer before using it again.

Place the monitor on a strong, stable surface.

A unit placed on an inadequate surface may fall, resulting in injury or equipment damage.

If the monitor falls, disconnect the power immediately and have the unit checked by a qualified service engineer before using it again. Using a monitor after it has been dropped may result in fire or electric shock.

Keep the plastic packing bags away from children and infants.

Plastic bags can be dangerous. To avoid danger of suffocation, keep the bag away from babies and children.

Keep power terminal covers for the optional i·Soundä sound unit away from children and infants.

Children and infants may accidentally swallow the covers and choke. If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.

The equipment must be connected to a grounded main outlet.

PRECAUTIONS 5

Use the enclosed power cord. If using the power cord other than the enclosed one, use the following cord.

In USA and Canada:

* Rating: min. 125 V, 10 A * Length: max. 2.1 m

*Type: SVT

*Plug type:NEMA 5-15P, Parallel blade, Grounding type, 125 V, 10 A

In Europe:

 

* Rating:

min. 250 V, 10 A * Length: max. 2.1 m

* Type:

H05VV-F 3G 1 mm2

Use a plug type approved by the country where you use.

Failure to do so may cause fire or electric shock.

Do not overload your power circuit, as this may result in fire or electric shock.

For proper connections of the power cord, be certain to plug the power cord to the provided monitor connector and directly to a wall outlet.

By not doing so may result in fire or electric shock.

Handle the power cord with care.

* Do not place the cord underneath the monitor or other heavy objects.

* Do not pull on the cord.

* Do not attempt to repair a damaged cord.

If the power cord becomes damaged, stop using it. Use of a damaged cord may result in fire or electric shock.

• To disconnect the power cord, grasp the plug firmly and

 

pull.

 

Never tug on the cord, doing so may cause damage and could

OK

result in fire or electric shock.

 

 

CAUTION

 

Be careful when taking the monitor out of the carton:

Disconnect the power cord, signal cables and remove the optional i·Soundä sound unit and i·Stationä USB hub (if applicable) when moving the monitor.

Moving the monitor with the cord attached or lifting it by the i·Sound sound unit or i·Station USB hub is dangerous. It may result in injury or equipment damage.

6 PRECAUTIONS

Handle with care when carrying the monitor

E

 

Note that the monitor is heavier at the front than at the rear. Do

 

not move it alone. Always work with another person.

 

OK

The screen is optically coated to reduce glare. Keep hard objects

 

 

(such as buttons, tie pins, and other clothing accessories) away

 

 

from the screen surface to prevent scratches.

 

• Set the monitor in an appropriate location.

* Do not install in a dusty or humid environment.

* Do not place in a location where light shines directly on the screen.

* Do not place near heat generating devices or a humidifier.

• Use an easily accessible power outlet.

This will ensure that you can disconnect the power quickly in case of a problem.

• Do not sit on the cabinet or place any heavy objects on the cabinet.

A unit with heavy objects on it may fall or be damaged and result in injury.

• Do not block the ventilation slots on the cabinet.

* Do not place books or any other papers on the ventilation slots.

* Do not install the monitor in a closed space.

* Do not use the monitor laying down or upside down. * Do not remove the tilt-swivel stand.

Using the monitor in this way blocks the ventilation slots and prevents proper airflow, leading to fire or other damage.

Do not remove the tilt-swivel stand.

The stand is required to maintain clearance for the ventilation slots on the bottom of the cabinet. Removing the stand will block these slots and may result in fire or electric shock.

• Do not touch the plug with wet hands.

Touching the plug with wet hands is dangerous and can cause electrical shock.

At the end of the day or if you plan to leave the monitor unused for an extended period, after turning off the power switch disconnect the power cord from the wall socket so that no power connections are made.

Unplug the monitor before cleaning it.

Cleaning the monitor while it is plugged into a power outlet may result in electric shock.

PRECAUTIONS 7

For users of the EIZO optional i·Soundä sound unit and i·Stationä USB hub

When adjusting the viewing angle of the monitor, do not do so by handling the sound unit or USB hub.

Adjusting the monitor in this way may break the unit or cause bodily injury.

Others

Do not install the monitor within an area subject to strong magnetic fields (for example, in the vicinity of a speaker, except the optional i·Sound unit, or a high-voltage transformer). Magnetic fields can cause noise, image shaking, and other distortions.

Generally, for maximum viewing comfort position the monitor slightly below eye level. Staring at the monitor for prolonged periods can cause eye strain. Be sure to take adequate rests. (A 10-minute rest period each hour is suggested.)

Do not remove the covers to the power terminal for the optional i·Sound speaker unit for any reason except to attach the unit.

2-2 Imaging adjustment

Using the AUTO-SIZING button

After connecting the monitor to the PC, first press the AUTO-SIZING button on the front panel. The AUTO-SIZING function centers the displayed image, aligning the image’s borders with respect to the monitor frame.

In general, press the AUTO-SIZING button whenever changing the graphics board or the resolution or when image size and/or position is incorrect.

If further adjustment is required, adjust the picture size/position as desired using the Size/Position function in the ScreenManager “Screen” menu. Refer to the next page.

The AUTO-SIZING function is intended for use on Macintosh, and IBM compatibles running Windows. It may not work properly if either of the following applies:

-An AT-compatible PC running MS-DOS (not Windows).

-The background color for the “wallpaper” or “desktop” pattern is set to black.

Some signals from the graphics board may not function properly.

A solid-color screen (i.e. red, green, blue) may appear for an instant while performing the AUTO-SIZING function, this phenomenon is not a failure.
