Precautions

Installation
Do not install the monitor in the following places:
on surfaces (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 an magnetically charged metal surface
in a dusty or smoky environment
into a wall or enclosure
in a small space that does not allow adequate ventilation around
the top, bottom, and sides of the monitor that may block the ventilation holes
Use of the Tilt-Swivel
This monitor can be adjusted within the angles shown below. To find the center of the monitors turning radius, align the center of the monitors screen with the centering mark on the stand. 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.

Protection
Do not put foreign objects into the monitor.
Disconnect the monitor if environment exceeds 60°C/140°F.
Ensure AC power cord is not trapped under furniture, TV, etc.
Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or convenience
receptacles beyond their capacity.
Maintenance
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.
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 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.
Transportation
When you transport this monitor for repair or shipment, use the original carton and packing materials.
Important information on power connection
Use the supplied power cord. If you use a different power cord, be sure that it is compatible with your local power supply.
Example of plug types:
US
for 100 to 120 V ac for 200 to 240 V ac for 240 V ac only
Before disconnecting the power cord, wait at least 30 seconds after turning off the power to allow the static electricity on the screens surface to discharge.
After the power is turned on, the screen is demagnetized (degaussed) for a few seconds. This generates a strong magnetic field around the screen which may affect the data stored on magnetic tapes and diskettes place near the monitor. Be sure to keep magnetic recording equipment, tapes, and diskettes away from this monitor.
Install the equipment near an easily accessible electrical outlet.

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.

Customizing Your Monitor

You can make numerous adjustments to your monitor using the on-screen menu.

Navigating the menu

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.
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
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 monitors, 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.

Technical Features

Preset and user modes

When the monitor receives an input signal, it automatically matches the signal to one of the factory preset modes stored in the monitor’s memory to provide a high quality picture at the center of the screen. (See page 18 for a list of the factory preset modes.) For input signals that do not match one of the factory preset modes, the digital Multiscan technology of this monitor ensures that a clear picture appears on the screen for any timing in the monitor’s frequency range (horizontal: 30 – 107 kHz, vertical: 48 – 170 Hz). If the picture is adjusted, the adjustment data is stored as a user mode and automatically recalled whenever the same input signal is received.
Note for Windows users
For Windows users, check your graphics board manual or the utility program which comes with your graphics board and select the highest available refresh rate to maximize monitor performance.

If thin lines appear on your screen (damper wires)

The visible lines on your screen especially when the background screen color is light (usually white), are normal for the Trinitron monitor. This is not a malfunction. These are shadows from the damper wires used to stabilize the aperture grille. The aperture grille is the essential element that makes a Trinitron picture tube unique by allowing more light to reach the screen, resulting in a brighter, more detailed picture.
