Note about BNC cables:
The BNC cables are better quality than regular cables and because they are co-ax and shielded, they have better signal /noise ratio and are designed to protect the video signals better in comparison with a regular cables. These cables normally are used in High end monitors and you may have not seen them for smaller 14-17" monitors.
FRONT PANEL :
This monitor has the following Controls:
H.size, H Center, V. Size, V. Cen t er , Pin Cus hion, Sel ec t , Adj ust -, + Stor e, Recall
To adjust the screen Size the select button must be pressed first to select the desired mode and then using the Adjust -,+ keys you can increase, decrease the sizes.
1 The bri g ht ness control adjusts the brightness of the display 2 The con tr ast control adjusts the light-to-dark and dark-to-light contrast of the display.
3 The d egaus s button manually demagnetizes the monitor. Degaussing disperses any
accumulated magnetic charge from the face of the monitor. Magnetic disturbances such as picture distortion or color impurity can be caused by either moving the monitor from one location to another or swiveling the monitor on its base. It is normal for the tube to shake during degauss mode.

H.SIZE or Horizontal Size adjustment control: This is the monitor’s width size adjustment, you need to center the screen horizontally first before making this adjustment. Sometimes
increasing the Horizontal size to the limits may cause the monitor to behave abnormal or the screen may become shaky. Normally leave about 1/8 of inch of blank border on each side of the screen, for the best result. This is needed for the proper monitor timing adjustment.
H. Center or Horizont al Center Co nt r o l :
This moves the screen to the right and left.
HEIGHT or Vertical size adjustment control:
This is your vertical height adjustment. You need to center the screen
vertically first to get this correct. In some cases the video card will show
a bigger size for 640x480 and 1280x1024 resolutions than the 1024x768. In this case if you want to be able to see most resolutions completely, adjust the monitor for 1280x1024, so that 640x480 will fill up the screen too.
V-CENT or Vertical center adjustment control:
This control will move the screen up or down (vertical center). In some
cases the video card will show a bigger size for 640x480 and
1280x1024 resolutions than the 1024x768. In this case if you want to be able to see most resolutions completely, adjust the monitor for 1280x1024, so that 640x480 will fill up the screen too.

SPCC (Side Pin Control) or Screen geometry balance control:

sides.

Running the mo nit or on reg ular video c ards:
This monitor can run on normal video cards, but you may require a special video card to run DOS and lower resolution modes properly on a PC with 1 monitor.
This monitor can work just fine in a dual Windows 98 operation as a secondary monitor. This way all the power up and lower resolutions are displayed on the first monitor.
You can run t his monitor on normal video cards within the 60 -81 Khz Hor izont al Scan frequency specification. This is the Horizontal scan (Khz) rate and should not be
confused with the refresh rate (vertical refresh rate is measured in Hz).
You must also use a high resolution mode and refresh rate. This monitor will not work in DOS, Safe mode or 640x480 in low refresh rates without the MIRAGE video card, (
ww w .mirage-mmc.com) to support all the low resolution and high resolution
modes (mention that you want -73 Khz setting).
Please Read:
We recom mend that you use your existing system and previous monitor to change the display settings to one of the high resolutions mentione d below. Please make sure that you also change yo ur monit or type (see section below) to one which supports higher refresh rates like the Sony G500 Multiscan monitor mentioned below. Then switch to 1024x768 75 hz (1024x768 60 or 70 hz is too low and will not run on this monitor) mode on your previous monitor and make sure that the picture is ok (some small monitors may not be able to run high resolution and high refresh rates, so if you could not see a recognizable picture, go back to your previous mode). Once the picture is ok, without rebooting and without turning your system off, switch the monitors and connect this monitor. You should get a stable picture on this monitor now.

Important Hin ts:
You may want to go to a different resolutions or higher refresh rates. Windows will switch to the new mode and asks you to confirm the new mode within 15 seconds. If you can not see the new mode and do not respond within the 15 seconds, the screen will go back to the previous mode.
When changing resolutions and refresh rates, change one at a time. For example to

get 1024x768 @85 hz which we recommend on this monitor, first change to 1024x768 resolution. Hit Apply, then change the refresh rate to 85 Hz (under adapter choices) and hit Apply again.
When running True Color (24 or 32 bit color) on your video card, please make sure that you have at least a 4M video card to run 1024x768 true color (24 bit or 32 bit color). Otherwise Windows may force you to a lower resolution to support the true color and you may not see the screen in lower resolution on this monitor.
