PRECAUTIONS
Installation
Do not install the monitor in the following places:
• on surface (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials
(curtains, draperies, etc.) that may block the
ventilation holes.
• near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or
in a place subject to direct sunlight.
• in a place subject to severe temperature changes.
• in a place subject to mechanical vibration or shock
• on an unstable surface.
• near equipment which generates magnetism, such
as a transformer or high voltage power lines.
• near or on a magnetically charged metal surface.
• in a small space around the top, bottom and sides
of the monitor that may block the ventilation holes.
Maintenance
• Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft
cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent
solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad,
scouring powder, or solvent, such as alcohol or
benzine.
• Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen
with sharp or abrasive items such as a ballpoint
pen or screwdriver. This type of contact may result
in a scratched picture tube.
• Clean the screen with a soft cloth. If you use a
glass cleaning liquid, do not use any type of cleaner
containing an anti-static solution or similar
additive as this may scratch the screen’s coating.
Transportation
When you transport this monitor for repair or
shipment, use the original carton and packing
materials.
Use of the Tilt-Swivel
This monitor can be adjusted within the angles shown
below.
Hold the monitor at the bottom with both hands when
you turn it horizontally or vertically. Be careful not
to pinch your fingers at the back of the monitor when
you tilt the monitor up vertically.
Note
Do not remove the tilt-swivel base from the monitor.
Power Connection Information
• Use an appropriate power cord for your local power
supply.
• Before disconnecting the power cord, wait at least
30 seconds after turning off the power to allow
the static electricity on the CRT display surface to
discharge.
• After the power has been turned on, the CRT is
demagnetized (degaussed) for a few seconds. This
generates a strong magnetic field around the metal
frame, which may affect the data stored on
magnetic tapes and disks near the bezel. Place
magnetic recording equipment, tapes, and disks
away from this monitor.
The equipment should be installed near an easily
accessible electrical outlet.

UNPACKING PROCEDURE
REPACKING
Save the original box and all packing material for
future shipping needs.
SETUP
This monitor works with platforms running at
horizontal frequencies between 30 and 69 kHz.
Step 1: Install the monitor
• To connect the tilt/swivel base to the monitor, align
hooks with the sockets on bottom side of the
monitor, and gently push the base towards the front
of the monitor.
• Put monitor on a flat and stable working bench.
Step 2: Connect your monitor to your
computer
• Turn off the monitor and computer and
unplug the computer power cord before
connecting. Connect the video signal cable to the
video output of your computer
• The 15-pin D-shell signal connector on the signal
cable will connect easily to the video adapter
output on your personal computer. Tighten both
screws on the connector to ensure a firm
connection.
Note
• Do not touch the pins of the video signal cable
connector as this might bend the pins.
• When connecting the video signal cable, check the
alignment of the video input connector. Do not
force the video input connector in the wrong way
or the pins might bend.
US-4
Step 4: Turn on the monitor and
computer
• Turn the monitor power switch ON. Then turn the
computer power switch ON, by pressing the switch
inward. The green power indicator will light up.
• Allow about 30 seconds for the CRT tube to warm
up. Data will be displayed on the screen.
• If your display fails to function properly, please
first refer to the section "Troubleshooting" in this
manual.
Workplace Preparation
Positioning the Monitor
Choose a suitable place to position the monitor where
it is not near fluorescent desk lighting or any
equipment that produces magnetic field that could
cause interference.
Ensure that the furniture or equipment can support
the weight of the monitor. Allow at least 2 inches (50
mm) ventilation space around the monitor.
Height
The monitor should be positioned so that the top of
the screen is slightly below your eye level when you
sit at your workstation.
Orientation
Choose a position that gives the least reflection from
lights and windows, usually at a right angle to any
windows. The monitor should be positioned directly
in front of you so that you do not have to twist your
body. Tilt the monitor to a comfortable viewing angle.
Working Practices
Rest
Take regular breaks. Vary your posture, and stand up
and stretch occasionally as prolonged use of computer
workstations can be tiring.
Back
You should sit back in the chair and use the backrest.
Hands
Use a light touch on the keyboard, keeping your hands
and fingers relaxed. Allow a space in front of the keyboard to rest your wrists when not typing. Consider
using a wristpad.
Eyesight
Working with monitor, in common with any kind of
prolonged close work, can be visually demanding.
Look away from the screen periodically and have your
eyesight checked regularly.
Screen settings
Set the screen brightness and contrast to a comfortable level. You may have to adjust this as the lighting
changes during the day. Many application programs
let you select color combinations which can help you
to view in comfort.
Step 3: Connect the power cord
With the monitor and computer turned off, first
connect the proper power cord for your local supply
to the monitor, then connect it to a properly grounded
power outlet.
