PACKING LIST
The product package should include the following items:
1. Monitor
2. Quick set up guide
3. Power cord
4. Swivel base
5. CD manual
6. Safety and warranty booklet
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 fields that
could cause interference. Ensure that the furniture or equipment can support
the weight of the monitor. Allow at least 2 in. (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. Position the monitor directly in front
of you so that you do not have to twist your body. Tilt the monitor to a
comfortable viewing angle.
Work Practices
Caring for your Monitor
Be sure to disconnect the power cord from your monitor before you perform any maintenance on
the monitor. Clean your monitor as follows:
• Gently wipe the covers and the screen with a soft cloth, do not use solvents
or abrasives.
• Never drop water or other liquid into your monitor.
• Remove finger marks and grease with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
• Never use flammable cleaning materials to clean your IBM monitor or any
other electrical apparatus.
• 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.
• Do not use any type of cleaner containing an anti-static solution or similar
additive as this may scratch the screen's coating.
• Never apply detergent or other liquid directly to the screen. Dampen the
cloth and then wipe.
Precautions
Rest
Take regular breaks. Vary your posture, and stand up and stretch
occasionally, as prolonged use of computer workstations c an be tiring.
Back
Sit back in the chair and use the back rest.
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 monitors, in common with any 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 might 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.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Swivel Base
To attach the swivel base to the monitor, do the following:
1 Carefully turn the monitor on its side or upside down. (see figure 1)
2 Locate the cavities at the bottom front of the monitor.
3 Insert the pegs on the swivel base into these cavities. Push the swivel base
forward until the swivel base locks in place.
To remove the swivel base, hold the bottom of the swivel base, then push it out.

Power Source:
1. Make sure the power cord is the correct type that is required in your area.
2. This monitor has a universal power supply that allows operation in
100/120V ac or 220/240V ac voltage (No user adjustment is required)
3. Connect the power cord into your monitor’s power input socket, and then
plug the other end into a 3-pin ac power outlet. The power cord can be
connected to either a wall power outlet or the power outlet socket on your
computer, depending on the type of power cord supplied with your
monitor.

Power cord:
Connecting the power cord: Plug the power cord into the monitor's ac
power socket. Then plug the power cord into a grounded ac outlet or ULapproved
power strip or the power output socket on your computer.
Attention: If the ac outlet is not grounded(only two holes), install the
proper grounding adapter (not supplied).
For safe operation, use the power cord supplied with the unit.
Video cable
Connecting the video cable: The monitor comes with a built-in video cable.
Plug the signal cable's 15-pin connector into the computer's video port and
tighten the two screws on the cable connector. (see figure 2)
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
General Instructions

• The power cord must be connected.
• Connect the video cable from the monitor to the video card.
• To turn the monitor on, press the POWER switch to ON position. The
power indicator will light up.
• Your monitor features a unique quick switch system which provides a
picture within seconds after the monitor is switched on.
Notes
• Do not install the monitor in a location near heat sources such as radiators
or air ducts , or in a place subject to direct sunlight , or excessive dust or
mechanical vibration or shock.
• Save the original shipping carton and packing materials, as they will come
in handy if you ever have to ship your monitor.
• For maximum protection, repackage your monitor as it was originally
packed at the factory.
• To keep the monitor looking new, periodically clean it with a soft cloth.
Stubborn stains can be removed with a cloth lightly dampened with a mild

IF THERE IS NO VIDEO INPUT SIGNAL OR THE MONITOR CABLE HAS BEEN
DISCONNECTED, THE FOLLOWING MESSAGE IS DISPLAYED: NO SIGNAL INPUT OR
CABLE DISCONNECTED.
This monitor is designed to conserve electrical energy by reducing power consumption
when there is no video input signal present. When there is no video input signal, this monitor following a
time-out period, will automatically switch to an OFF mode. This reduces the monitor's internal power
supply consumption. After the video input signal is restored, full power is restored and the display is
automatically redrawn. The appearance is similar to a "Screen Saver" feature except the display is
completely off. The display is restored by pressing a key on the keyboard or clicking the mouse.
Plug & Play
Plug & Play DDC2B Feature
This monitor is equipped with VESA DDC2B capability accord ing to the VESA DDC STANDARD. It
allows the monitor to inform the host system of its identity and, depending on the level of DDC used,
communicate additional information about its display capabilities.
The DDC2B is a bidirectional data channel based on the I2C protocol. The host can request EDID
information over the DDC2B channel.
