FCC Class B Radio Frequency Interference Statement
WARNING: (FOR FCC CERTIFIED MODELS)

NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found 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:

1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
the receiver is connected.

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

HG Declaration

SAFETY: Lamp Disposal

LAMP(S) INSIDE THIS PRODUCT CONTAIN MERCURY AND MUST BE
RECYCLED OR DISPOSED OF ACCORDING TO LOCAL, STATE OR
FEDERAL LAWS. FOR MORE INFORMATION, CONTACT THE ELECTRONIC
INDUSTRIES ALLIANCE AT WWW.EIAE.ORG.

NOTICE:

1. The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.

2. Shielded interface cables and AC power cord, if any, must be used in order
to comply with the emission limits.

3. The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference
caused by unauthorized modification to this equipment. It is the
responsibilities of the user to correct such interference.

WARNING:

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the monitor to rain or moisture.
Dangerously high voltages are present inside the monitor. Do not open the
cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

PRECAUTIONS

 Do not use the monitor near water, e.g. near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen

sink, laundry tub, swimming pool or in a wet basement.

 Do not place the monitor on an unstable cart, stand, or table. If the monitor

falls, it can injure a person and cause serious damage to the appliance.
Use only a cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the
monitor. If you mount the monitor on a wall or shelf, use a mounting kit
approved by the manufacturer and follow the kit instructions.

 Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for

ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the monitor and to protect it from
overheating, be sure these openings are not blocked or covered. Do not
place the monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface. Do not place the
monitor near or over a radiator or heat register. Do not place the monitor in
a bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.

 The monitor should be operated only from the type of power source

indicated on the label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to
your home, consult your dealer or local power company.

 The monitor is equipped with a three-pronged grounded plug, a plug with a

third (grounding) pin. This plug will fit only into a grounded power outlet as a
safety feature. If your outlet does not accommodate the three-wire plug,
have an electrician install the correct outlet, or ground the appliance safely.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounded plug.

 Unplug the unit during a lightening storm or when it will not be used for long

period of time. This will protect the monitor from damage due to power
surges.

 Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in

fire or electric shock.

 Never push any object into the slot on the monitor cabinet. It could short

circuit parts causing a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquids on the
monitor.

 Do not attempt to service the monitor by yourself; opening or removing

covers can expose you to dangerous voltages and other hazards. Please
refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

 To ensure satisfactory operation, use the monitor only with UL listed

computers which have appropriate configured receptacles marked between
100 - 240V AC, Min. 5A.

 The wall socket shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily

accessible.

SPECIAL NOTES ON LCD MONITORS

The following symptoms are normal with LCD monitor and do not indicate a
problem.

NOTES

• Due to the nature of the fluorescent light, the screen may flicker during initial

use. Turn off the Power Switch and then turn it on again to make sure the
flicker disappears.

• You may find slightly uneven brightness on the screen depending on the

desktop pattern you use.

• The LCD screen has effective pixels of 99.99% or more. It may include

blemishes of 0.01% or less such as a missing pixel or a pixel lit all of the
time.

• Due to the nature of the LCD screen, an afterimage of the previous screen

may remain after switching the image, when the same image is displayed for
hours. In this case, the screen is recovered slowly by changing the image or
turning off the Power Switch for hours.

PLUG AND PLAY

PLUG & PLAY DDC2B FEATURE

This monitor is equipped with VESA DDC2B capabilities according to the VESA
DDC STANDARD. It allows the monitor to inform the host system of its identity
and, depending on the level of DDC used, communicate additional information
about its display capabilities.
The DDC2B is a bidirectional data channel based on the I²C protocol. The host
can request EDID information over the DDC2B channel.

THIS MONITOR WILL APPEAR TO BE NON-FUNCTIONAL IF THERE IS NO
VIDEO INPUT SIGNAL. IN ORDER FOR THIS MONITOR TO OPERATE
PROPERLY, THERE MUST BE A VIDEO INPUT SIGNAL.

This monitor meets the Green monitor standards as set by the Video Electronics
Standards Association (VESA) and The Swedish Confederation Employees
(NUTEK). This feature is designed to conserve electrical energy by reducing
power consumption when there is no video-input signal present. When there is
no video input signal this monitor, following a time-out period, will automatically
switch to an OFF mode. This reduces the monitor's internal power supply
consumption. After the video input signal is restored, full power is restored and
the display is automatically redrawn. The appearance is similar to a "Screen
Saver" feature except the display is completely off. The display is restored by
pressing a key on the keyboard, or clicking the mouse.

CLOCK (pixel frequency) controls the number of pixels scanned by one
horizontal sweep. If the frequency is not correct, the screen shows vertical
stripes and the picture has not correct width.

FOCUS adjusts the phase of the pixel clock signal. With a wrong phase
adjustment the picture has horizontal disturbances in light picture.

For FOCUS and CLOCK adjustment use “dot-pattern” or win 95/98 shut-down
mode pattern.

ERROR MESSAGE & POSSIBLE SOLUTION

CABLE NOT CONNECTED :

1. Check that the signal-cable is properly connected , If the connector is loose,

tighten the connector’s screws.

2. Check the signal -cable connection pins for damage.
