WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your

Å

equipment: Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The
grounding plug is an important safety feature.

Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is
easily accessible at all times.

Disconnect power from the monitor by unplugging the power cord
from the electrical outlet.

Do not place anything on power cords or cables. Arrange them so
that no one may accidentally step on or trip over them. Do not pull on
a cord or cable. When unplugging from the electrical outlet, grasp
the cord by the plug.

CAUTION: Burn-in image damage may occur on monitors that

Ä

display the same static image on screen for a prolonged period of
time. To avoid burn-in image damage on your monitor screen, you
should always activate a screen saver application or turn off the
monitor when it is not in use for a prolonged period of time.

Selecting the Signal Connectors and Cables

There are four signal input connectors: one VGA connector, one
DVI-I connector, one super video connector, and one composite
video connector. The monitor will automatically determine which
inputs have v alid video signals. The inputs can be selected via the
On-Screen Display (OSD) feature or by pressing the Signal Input
Selection control on the monitor front bezel.

The video mode supported by the DVI-I connector is determined
by the video cable used. For digital operation, use the DVI-D to
DVI-D signal cable provided. For analog operation, a DVI-I to
VGA signal cable must be attached to the DVI-I input (not
provided with the monitor).
