Setting up the monitor
Setting up the monitor consists of two procedures: attaching the base and
connecting the monitor cables. If you are setting up your computer for the first
time, see the setup poster for more information about connecting additional
peripheral devices.
To attach the base:
1 Carefully set the monitor on its side with the bottom of the monitor facing
you.
2 Hold the base so the rounded end is pointing toward the back of the
monitor, then align the hooks on the bottom of the base with the
corresponding slots on the bottom of the monitor.
Retaining latch
3 Slide the base toward the front of the monitor so all hooks are securely in
place. The retaining latch clicks into place when the base is attached
correctly.
4 Carefully set the monitor upright and place it on a sturdy, level surface.

Setting up the monitor
To connect the power and video cables:
1 Position the monitor and your computer so you can easily get at the back
panel of each. Make sure that all power cables can reach a correctly
grounded electrical outlet.
2 Connect the video cable to the matching (blue) video port on the back of
your computer.
3 Tighten the screws on the video cable connectors to keep them from
coming loose. Tightening the screws also prevents radio and TV
interference.

outlet.

of the monitor, then press in the retaining latch.

Starting the monitor
Caution Do not store tapes or diskettes next to the monitor because
the monitor generates a strong magnetic field during
startup. This field can erase or damage data stored on
magnetic tapes or diskettes.
2 Turn on your computer.
3 After your computer is running, the power LED on the monitor should be
green. If not, check the connections. For more troubleshooting
information, see “Troubleshooting” on page 17.
4 Adjust the controls to get the ideal image size and position for you. For
more information, see “Adjusting monitor settings” on page 8.
