1.1 Important Safety Precautions

Electricity is used to perform many useful functions, but it can also cause personal injuries and property damage if
improperly handled. This product has been engineered and manufactured with the highest priority on safety.
However, improper use can result in electric shock and/or fire. In order to prevent potential danger, please observe
the following instructions when installing, operating and cleaning the product. To ensure your safety and prolong
the service life of your LCD colour TV product, please read the following precautions carefully before using the
product.

 Read instructions—All operating instructions must be read and understood before the product is operated.

same reason, do not spill water or liquid on the product.

 Servicing—Do not attempt to service the product yourself. Removing covers can expose you tohigh voltage and

other dangerous conditions. Request a qualified service person to perform servicing.

 Repair—If any of the following conditions occurs, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, and request a

qualified service person to perform repairs.
a. When the power cord or plug is damaged.
b. When a liquid was spilled on the product or when objects have fallen into the product.
c. When the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. When the product does not operate properly as described in the operating instructions. Do not touch the

controls other than those described in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of controls not
described in the instructions can cause damage, which often requires extensive adjustment work by a

qualified technician.
e. When the product has been dropped or damaged.
f. When the product displays an abnormal condition. Any noticeable abnormality in the product indicates that

the product needs servicing.

 Replacement parts—In case the product needs replacement parts, make sure that the service person uses

replacement parts specified by the manufacturer, or those with the same characteristics and performance as the
original parts. Use of unauthorized parts can result in fire, electric shock and/or other danger.

 Safety checks—Upon completion of service or repair work, request the service technician to perform safety

checks to ensure that the product is in proper operating condition.

 Polarization—This AC adapter may be equipped with a polarized alternating current line plug (a plug having

one blade wider than the other). This plug will fit into the power outlet only one way. This is a safety feature. If
you are unable to insert the plug fully into the outlet, try reversing the plug. If the plug should still fail to fit,
contact your electrician to replace your obsolete outlet. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized plug.

 For use only with AC adapter, Li-shin 0111B1275 (PSU 17LD4000).

1.2 Some Dos And Don'ts On The Safe Use Of Equipment

This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet international safety standards but, like any electrical
equipment, care must be taken if you are to obtain the best results and safety is to be assured.

DO read the operating instructions before you attempt to use the equipment.
DO ensure that all electrical connections (including the mains plug, extension leads and inter-connections between

the pieces of equipment) are properly made and in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions. Switch off and
withdraw the mains plug before making or changing connections.

DO consult your dealer if you are ever in doubt about the installation, operation or safety of your equipment.
DO be careful with glass panels or doors on equipment.
DO route the mains lead so that it is not likely to be walked on, crushed, chafed, or subjected to excessive wear and

tear or heat.

DON'T remove any fixed cover as this may expose dangerous voltages.
DON'T obstruct the ventilation openings of the equipment with items such as newspapers, tablecloths, curtains, etc.

Overheating will cause damage and shorten the life of the equipment.
DON'T allow electrical equipment to be exposed to dripping or splashing, or objects filled with liquids, such as
vases, to be placed on the equipment.
DON'T place hot objects or naked flame sources such as lighted candles or nightlights on, or close to equipment.
High temperatures can melt plastic and lead to fires.
DON'T use makeshift stands and NEVER fix legs with wood screws - to ensure complete safety always fit the
manufacturer's approved stand or legs with the fixings
provided according to the instructions.
DON'T use equipment such as personal stereos or radios so that you are distracted from the requirements of traffic
safety. It is illegal to watch television whilst driving.

DON'T listen to headphones at high volume, as such use can permanently damage your hearing.
DON'T leave equipment switched on when it is unattended unless it is specifically stated that it is designed for

unattended operation or has a stand-by mode. Switch off using the switch on the equipment and make sure that
your family know how to do this. Special arrangements may need to be made for infirm or handicapped people.
DON'T continue to operate the equipment if you are in any doubt about it working normally, or if it is damaged in
any way - switch off, withdraw the mains plug and consult your dealer.

ABOVE ALL

Chapter 6 Troubleshooting

This LCD Monitor has pre-adjusted using factory standard VGA timings. Due to the output timing
differences among various VGA cards in the market, users may initially experience an unstable or unclear
display whenever a new display mode or new VGA card is selected.

Attention

This LCD Monitor Supports Multiple VGA Modes.
Refer to the Standard Timing Table for a listing of modes supported by this LCD Monitor.

PROBLEM Picture is unclear and unstable

The picture is unclear and unstable, please perform the following steps :

1. Enter PC to “Shut Down Windows” status while you’re in MS-Windows environment.

2. Check the screen to see if there’s any black vertical stripes appear. If there are, take advantage of the
“Clock” function in OSD menu and adjust (by increment or decrement numbers) until those bars
disappear.

3. Move to “Phase” function in OSD menu again and adjust the monitor screen to its most clear display.

4. Click “No” on “Shut Down Windows” and back to the normal PC operating environment.

PROBLEM There is no picture on LCD Monitor

If there’s no picture on the LCD Monitor, please perform the following steps:

1. Make sure the power indicator on the LCD Monitor is ON, all connections are secured, and the system is
running on the correct timing. Refer to Chapter 3 for information on timing.

2. Turn off the LCD Monitor and then turn it back on again. If there is still no picture, press the Adjustment
Control button several times.

3. If step 2 doesn’t work, connect your PC system to another external CRT. If your PC system Functions
properly with a CRT Monitor but it does not function with the LCD Monitor, the output timing of the
VGA card may be out of the LCD’s synchronous range. Please change to an alternative mode listed in
the Standard Timing Table or replace the VGA card, and then repeat steps 1 and 2.

PROBLEM There is no picture on LCD Monitor

If you have chosen an output timing that is outside of the LCD Monitor’s synchronous range (Horizontal: 30
~ 60 KHz and Vertical: 50 ~ 75 Hz), the OSD will display a “Over Range” message. Choose a mode that is
supported by your LCD Monitor.

PROBLEM The IR control can't control product

Make sure if batteries installed are not weak batteries
If you still have difficulties that you can't resolve using the tips described above, please unplug and plug in
the AC cord to reset your product. Otherwise, please call your local agency for servicing.

18

Also, if the signal cable is not connected to LCD monitor at all or properly, the monitor screen will display a
message “No Signal ”.
