Introduction

Thank you for purchasing an LG color monitor. This monitor supports OSD, DDC2B and Sound. It will give you high resolution performance and operation in a variety of video operating modes. It is compatible with standard PC type personal computers. The 15-inch (13.8 inches viewable) flat Square Tube design is excellent for use in a Windows or desktop publishing environment, where smaller screen sizes result in images difficult to see easily. The anti-glare treatment is easy on the eyes. The microprocessor-based On Screen Display (OSD) controls allow you to adjust a

variety of image controls, automatically storing up to

37 different video modes, including 6 pre-set modes. For greater user health and safety, this monitor complies with the Swedish Nutek MPR II requirements for low radiation emissions. For low cost of monitor operation, this monitor is certified as meeting the EPA Energy Star Requirements, and utilizes the VESA Display Power Management Signalling (DPMS) protocol. Please review this manual completely before operating the monitor.

Important Precautions

This unit has been engineered and manufactured to assure your personal safety, but improper use can result in potential electrical shock or fire hazard. In order not to defeat the safeguards incorporated in this monitor, observe the following basic rules for its installation, use, and servicing. Also follow all warnings and instructions marked directly on your monitor.

On safety

1. Use only the power cord supplied with the unit. In case you use

another power cord, make sure that it is certified by the applicable standards (UL/CSA or VDE) if not being provided by the supplier.

2. Operate the monitor only from a power source indicated in the

specifications of this manual or listed on the monitor. If you are not sure what type of power supply you have in your home, consult with your dealer.

3. Overloaded AC outlets and extension cords are dangerous. So are

frayed power cords and broken plugs. They may result in a shock or fire hazard. Call your service technician for replacement.

4. DO NOT OPEN THE MONITOR. There are no user serviceable

components inside. There are Dangerous High Voltages inside, even when the power is OFF. Contact your dealer if the monitor is not operating properly.

5. To avoid personal injury :

Do not place the monitor on a sloping shelf unless properly secured. Use only a stand recommended by the manufacturer. Do not try to roll a stand with small casters across thresholds or deep pile carpets.

6. To prevent Fire or Hazards:

Always turn the monitor OFF if you leave the room for more than a short period of time. Never leave the monitor ON when leaving the

house.

Keep children from dropping or pushing objects into the monitor's cabinet openings. Some internal parts carry hazardous voltages. Do not add accessories that have not been designed for this monitor. During a lightning storm or when the monitor is to be left unattended for an extended period of time, unplug it from the wall outlet. Do not bring magnetic devices such as magnets or motors near the picture tube.

On installation

1. Do not allow anything to rest upon or roll over the power cord, and

do not place the monitor where the power cord is subject to damage.

2. Do not use this monitor near water such as near a bathtub,

washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.

3. Monitors are provided with ventilation openings in the cabinet to

allow the release of heat generated during operation. If these openings are blocked, built-up heat can cause failures which may result in a fire hazard. Therefore, NEVER:

Block the bottom ventilation slots by placing the monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, etc. Place the monitor in a built-in enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided. Cover the openings with cloth or other material. Place the monitor near or over a radiator or heat source.

On cleaning

Unplug the monitor before cleaning the face of the picture tube. Use a slightly damp (not wet) cloth. Do not use an aerosol directly

on the picture tube because overspray may cause

electrical shock

On repacking.

Do not throw away the carton and packing materials. They make an ideal container in which to transport the unit. When shipping the unit to another location, repack it in its original material.

Installing the Tilt/Swivel Base

Turn off the equipment and all attached options. Carefully set the monitor face-down with the underside facing you.

Installation

1.Align the hooks on the tilt/swivel stand with the matching slot on the

base (underside of the monitor). The open hooks of the stand should face the front of the monitor. The matching slots are on the first row of slots showing 2 pairs of slots.

2.Insert the hooks into the front and rear slots. The stand should now

fit flush with the bottom of the monitor.

3.Slide the stand toward the front of the monitor, until the latch clicks

into the locked position. Now only the bottom of the stand should be movable.

4.Carefully upright the monitor, taking care to place the monitor down

flatly on an even surface.

NOTE: To remove the stand, gently push in the latch on the bottom of the monitor and then slide the stand toward the back of the monitor. After sliding the stand back, lift off the stand from the monitor.

Installation

The supply voltage is marked on the ID label located on the rear panel of the monitor. If your local voltage is different, do not use the monitor and contact your supplier before using the display.

Connections

To connect your monitor after the video adapter is properly installed:

Turn OFF the power to your computer and all its attached options.

2. Position the monitor and the computer so that you can easily get to the back panel of each.

3. Connect the signal cable with D-sub connector to the graphics board on your PC as described in your PC Owner's Manual.

4. Tighten the screws on the video cable connectors to keep them from coming loose and to prevent radio and TV interference.

5. Connect the power cord to the AC receptacle on the back of the monitor. Plug the other end of the power cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet.

6. The socket-outlet should be installed near the equipment and should be easily accessible.
