A Warning: FOR CUSTOMERS IN THE UK

THIS PRODUCT IS SUPPLIED WITH A TWO PIN MAINS PLUG FOR USE IN
MAINLAND EUROPE AND A THREE PIN PLUG FOR USE IN THE UK.
PLEASE REFER TO THE NOTES ON THIS PAGE.

IMPORTANT FOR UNITED KINGDOM

The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse,
the value of which is indicated on the pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need to be
replaced, an ASTA or BSI approved BS 1362 fuse must be used of the same rating. If the
fuse cover is detachable, never use the phrg with the cover omitted. If a replacement fuse
cover is required, ensure it is of the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug.
Fuse covers are available from your dealer.

DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is not suitable for

the power points in your home or office, or the cord is too short to reach a power point,
then obtain an appropriate safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer.

Should it be necessary to change the mains plug, this must be carried out by a competent
person, preferably a qualified electrician.

If there is no alternative to cutting off the mains plug, ensure that you dispose of it
immediately, having first removed the fuse, to avoid a possible shock hazard by
inadvertent connection to the mains supply.

A WARNING: THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE EARTHED

The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:

Green and Yellow = Earth Blue= Neutral Brown = Live

As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the

terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured GREEN and YELLOW must be connected to the
terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol @ or
coloured GREEN or GREEN and YELLOW.
The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N
or coloured BLUE or BLACK.

The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter

If the screen image is unclear due to an inconsistent display timing, or for any other
reason, use the monitor’s OSD function to make the necessmy adjustments.

When changing the display settings (resolution, numbers of colours, etc), please ensure

.

that the chosen mode is one from the above. If you select a non-supported video mode the
SAVE lamp will begin blinking after a few seconds and the screen may display “NOT
SUPPORTED’, although this may not be readable due to screen instability.

In the 640x 350 and 640x 400 MS-DOS modes, black lines may appem at the top of the
screen and grey lines at the bottom. This is normal and does not indicate a fault.
