Safety precautions
n
Read all instructions before using the monitor, and save them for later use.
n
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.
n
To avoid electrical shock, never open the monitor case.
n
Never use the monitor if the power cable has been damaged. Do not allow anything
to rest on the power cable.
n
The openings in the monitor cabinet are for ventilation. Do not block or cover these
openings. Do not insert anything into these openings. If you put the monitor in a
bookcase or some other enclosed space, be sure to leave space for ventilation.
n
Do not expose the monitor to rain or use near water. Turning on a monitor that has
been exposed to moisture will cause damage. If the monitor gets wet, unplug it, and
contact technical support.
n
This monitor is equipped with a 3-wire grounding-type plug as a safety feature. This
plug will only fit into a grounding-type outlet. If you are unable to insert the plug
into an outlet, contact an electrician to install the appropriate outlet. Do not try to
remove any of the prongs.
n
If any problems occur, unplug the monitor and contact technical support.

Setting up the monitor
Setting up the monitor consists of two procedures: attaching the base and connecting the
monitor cables.
If you are setting up your system for the first time, refer to the setup poster for more
information about connecting additional peripherals.
To attach the base:
1
Carefully set the monitor on its side with the bottom of the monitor facing you.
2
Hold the base so that the narrow end is pointed toward the back of the monitor.
3
Align the four hooks on the bottom of the base with the corresponding slots on the
bottom of the monitor.
4
Slide the base toward the front of the monitor so that all hooks are securely in place.
A retaining latch built into the base clicks into place when the base is correctly
attached.
5
Carefully set the monitor upright and place the monitor on a sturdy, level surface.

To connect the power and video cables:
1
Position the monitor and the computer so that you can easily get at the back panel
of each. Make sure all power cables can reach a properly grounded electrical outlet.

A
AC power connector
B
Video cable (permanently connected)
2
Connect the video cable to the matching blue video connector on the back of your
computer.
3
Tighten the screws on the video cable connectors to keep them from coming loose.
Tightening the screws also prevents radio and TV interference.
4
Connect the power cord that came with the monitor to the AC power connector at
the back of the monitor. To maintain FCC standards, only use the cord that came
with the monitor.
5
Plug the other end of the power cord into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
Removing the base
To remove the base:
1
Turn off the system, then disconnect the monitor’s video and power cables.
2
Carefully set the monitor on its side with the bottom of the monitor facing you.
3
Rotate the base so that you can easily get to the retaining latch on the bottom of the
monitor.

Setting up the monitor
5
Starting the monitor
To start the monitor:
1
Press the power button once. The power LED lights and the monitor demagnetizes
itself for about five seconds.
Caution
2
Turn on the computer.
3
Once the system is running, the power LED on the monitor should be green. If not,
check the connections. For troubleshooting information, see the “Troubleshooting”
section of this guide.
4
Adjust the controls to get the best picture. Experiment with the display settings to
choose the ideal image size and position for you. See the “Adjusting display settings”
section in this guide for information about changing your display.
Do not store tapes or diskettes next to the monitor because
the monitor generates a strong magnetic field during
startup. This field can erase or damage data stored on
magnetic tapes or diskettes.
