Precautions
• Do not use the monitor near water, e.g. near a
bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub,
swimming pool or in a wet ba sement.
• Do not place the monitor on an unstable cart,
stand, or table. If the monitor falls, it can injure a
person and c ause serious damage to the
appliance. Use only a cart or stand
recommended by the m anufacturer 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 unl ess proper
ventilation is provided.
• The monitor should be operated only with 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. As a safety feature, this plug will only fit into
a grounded power outlet. I f your outlet does not
accommodate the t hree-wire plug, have an
electrician install the correct outlet, or use an
adapter to ground the appliance safely. Do not
defeat the safety purpose of the grounded plug.
• Unplug the unit during a lightning storm or when
it will not be used for long periods 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 yourself;
opening or removing covers can expose you to
dangerous voltage and other hazards. Please
refer all servicing to q ualified service personnel.
• To ensure satisfactory operation, use the
monitor only with UL-listed computers which
have appropriately configured receptacles
marked between 100 - 240 V AC, Min. 3.5A.
EN-5100e
• The wall socket should be installed near the
equipment and should be easily accessible.

Special Notes on LCD Monitors
The following symptoms are normal with an LCD
monitor and do not indicate a problem:
• 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 d epending 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 sc reen, an after image of the pr evio us screen may remain after
switching from an image t hat has been
displayed for hours. This after-image could
require several hours to disappear.
• The life of the fluorescent light used in the LCD
monitor is approximately 20,000 hours. Contact
your dealer or EPI service center for
replacement when the screen is dark, flickering
or not lighting up. Never attempt to repl ace it by
yourself.
General Notes
• Do not install the monitor near heat sources
such as radiators or air ducts.
• Do not place monitor in direct sunlight or in
areas with excessive dust, mechanical vibration
or shock.
• Save the original shipping carton and packing
materials in case you need to ship your monitor.
Be sure to repackage your moni tor as it was
originally packed at the factory.
• Periodically clean your monitor with a soft cloth.
Stubborn stains may be removed with a cloth
lightly dampened with a mild detergent solution.
Never use strong solvents such as thinners,
benzene, or a brasive cleaners , since these
will damage the cabinet. Always unplug the
monitor before cleaning it.
Using the Right Power Cord
The supplied power cord is a NEMA 5-15 style
plug. It is UL-listed and CSA labeled for
125 volts AC.
If the monitor will be connected to your compute r’s
power outlet, use a minimum No. 18 AWG, t ype
SJT or SVT three conductors cord with one end
terminating with a male grounded plug, rated 10A,
250V, CEE-22. The other end must terminate with
a molded-on type connector body, rated 10A,
250V, having standard CEE -22 female
configuration.

Plug & Play DDC1/2B Fe ature
This monitor is equipped with VESA DDC1/2B
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
communication channel is defined in two levels,
DDC1 and DDC2B.
The DDC1 is a unidirectional data channel from the
display to the host that continuously transmits
EDID information. T he DDC2B is a bidirectional
data channel based o n the I²C protocol. The host
can request EDID information over the DDC2B.
How to Install INF & ICM File
1. Insert the Windows 95/98/2000/ME/XP INF
Driver Disk into your floppy drive.
2. Follow the Add New Hardware Wizard
instructions on the screen.
3. If the wizard asks for the location of the driver
file, select drive A and press Next.
