Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a high resolution monitor. It will give you high resolution performance and convenient reliable operation in a variety of video operating modes.

The monitor is a 17 inches (16.0 inches viewable ) intelligent, microprocessor based monitor compatible with most analog RGB (Red, Green, Blue) display standards, including IBM PC®, PS/2®, Apple®, Macintosh®, Centris®, Quadra®, and Macintosh II family.

The monitor provides crisp text and vivid color graphics with VGA, SVGA, XGA, and VESA Ergonomic modes (non-interlaced), and most Macintosh compatible color video cards when used with the appropriate adaptor. The monitor's wide compatibility makes it possible to upgrade video cards or software without purchasing a new monitor.

Digitally controlled auto-scanning is done with the micro-processor for horizontal scan frequencies between 30 and 70kHz, and vertical scan frequencies between 50-160Hz. The microprocessor-based intelligence allows the monitor to operate in each frequency mode with the precision of a fixed frequency monitor.

The microprocessor-based digital controls allow you to adjust conveniently a variety of image controls by using the OSD (On Screen Display).

This monitor is capable of producing a maximum horizontal resolution of 1280 dots and a maximum vertical resolution of 1024 lines. It is well suited for CAD work and sophisticated windowing environments.

For greater user health and safety, this monitor complies with the stringent Swedish TCO’95 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 for power saving during nonuse periods.

Important Precautions

This unit has been engineered and manufactured to assure your personal safety, but impr oper use can r esult 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.

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 national standards if not being provided by the supplier.

If the power cable is faulty in any way, please contact the manufacturer or the nearest authorized repair service provider for a replacement.

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.

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.

Important Precautions

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Installation

Connection to any IBM

VGA PC compatible

system

Connecting the Monitor

Figure 1 shows the signal cable connections from the monitor to the Video Graphics Array (VGA) port typical in an IBM PC or PC compatible. This also applies to any graphics video card for PC-CAD or workstation that has a 15 pin high density (3 row) d-Sub connector.

1. Power off both the monitor and PC.

2. Connect the 15 pin VGA connector of the supplied signal cable to the

output VGA video connector on the PC and the matching input connector on the rear of the monitor. The connectors will mate only one way. If you cannot attach the cable easily, turn the connector upside down and try again. When mated, tighten the thumbscrews to secure the connection.

3. Power ON the PC, then the monitor.

4. If you see the SELF DIAGNOSTICS message, check the signal cable

and connectors.

5. After using the system, power OFF the monitor, then the PC.
