Setting up the monitor
Read all instructions before using the monitor and save them for later use. Follow all
warnings and instructions marked on the product.
To set up the monitor:
■ Attach the base
■ Connect the video and power cables
To attach the base:
1 Carefully set the monitor on its side.
2 Hold the base with the tab facing the back of the monitor and align the hooks on
the base with the corresponding slots on the bottom of the monitor.

To connect the video and power 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.
Caution The openings in the monitor cabinet are for ventilation. Do not block
or cover these openings. Do not insert anything into these openings.
If you put the monitor in a bookcase or some other enclosed space,
make sure to leave at least 6 inches (15 cm) around it for ventilation.
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 connector to keep it from coming loose.
Tightening the screws also prevents radio and TV interference.
4 Connect the power cable that came with the monitor to the AC power connector on
the back of the monitor. Only use the power cable that came with the monitor.

Environmental information
The product you have purchased contains extracted natural resources that have been used in the manufacturing
process. This product may contain substances known to be hazardous to the environment or to human health.
To prevent releases of harmful substances into the environment and to maximize the use of our natural
resources, eMachines provides the following information on how you can responsibly recycle or reuse most of
the materials in your “end of life” product.
Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (commonly known as WEEE) should never be disposed of in the
municipal waste stream (residential garbage collection). The “Crossed-Out Waste Bin” label affixed to this
product is your reminder to dispose of your “end of life” product properly.
Substances such as glass, plastics, and certain chemical compounds are highly recoverable, recyclable, and
reusable. You can do your part for the environment by following these simple steps:
■
When your electrical or electronic equipment is no longer us eful t o yo u, “take it back” to yo ur l oca l or reg ion al
waste collection administration for recycling.
■
In some cases, your “end of life” product may be “traded in” for credit towards the purchase of new eMachines
equipment. Call eMachines to see if this program is available in your area.
■
If you need further assistance in recycling, reusing, or trading in your “end of life” product, you may contact us
at the Customer Care number listed in your product’s user guide and we will be glad to help you with your
effort.
Finally, we suggest that you practice other environmentally friendly actions by understanding and using the
energy-saving features of this product (where applicable), recycling the inner and outer packaging (including
shipping containers) this product was delivered in, and by disposing of or recycling used batteries properly.
With your help, we can reduce the amount of natural resources needed to produce electrical and electronic
equipment, minimize the use of landfills for the disposal of “end of life” products, and generally improve our
quality of life by ensuring that potentially hazardous substances are not released into the environment and are
disposed of properly.
