Section 1 - General Information
Congratulations on purchasing a MaxTech 15-inch Color Monitor. The
monitor has one of the finest CRTs available in the industry, providing a
full range of video display resolutions and complies with the MPR-I
standard to reduce electromagnetic emissions.
The monitor has a 0.28 mm dot pitch display with a 65 MHz video
bandwidth. It supports video resolutions ranging from 640 x 350 to 1024
x 768 (non-interlaced).
The monitor can be used with video cards supporting VGA, SVGA, IBM
8514/A or XGA modes and provides an unlimited palette of colors.
1.1 Precautions When Using the Monitor
When setting up and using your monitor, pay special attention to the
following:
• To eliminate eye fatigue, do not use your monitor against a bright
background or where sunlight or other light sources will shine directly
on the monitor.
• Your monitor should be placed just below eye level for optimum
viewing.
• Allow adequate ventilation around the monitor so that heat from the
monitor can properly dissipate.
• Neither the monitor itself nor any other heavy object should rest on the
power cord. Damage to a power cord can cause fire or electrical
shock.
• Keep the monitor away from high capacity transformers, electric
motors and other strong magnetic fields.
• Do not use your monitor in a damp, dusty or dirty area.
• Handle the monitor with care when transporting.
• Unplug the monitor during electrical storms.
1.2 Power Saving Modes
The MaxTech monitor supports VESA Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS) SUSPEND and OFF modes. DPMS defines a method for
a computer to signal the monitor to reduce its power consumption when
idle. DPMS features must be supported by both the computer and the
monitor for them to be available. Computer support of DPMS requires the
use of a DPMS compliant video card.
The monitor enters DPMS SUSPEND mode when the computer turns off
the Vertical Synchronization signal. This power-saving mode reduces the
monitor’s power consumption to 30W. While in this mode the Power
Indicator LED is amber. When the synchronization signal is re-enabled the
monitor returns to normal operation.
The monitor enters DPMS OFF mode when the computer turns off both the
2
Horizontal and Vertical Synchronization signals. This mode reduces the
monitor’s power consumption to 8W. While in this mode the Power
Indicator LED is amber. When the synchronization signals are re-enabled
the monitor returns to normal operation.

Appendix D - Notices
FCC Class B Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
7
device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the
user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio / TV technician for help
Notice: Shielded cables, if any, must be used in order to comply with the emission limits.
Any change or modification not expressly approved by the Grantee of the equipment
authorization could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Canadian DOC Compliance Statement
This equipment does not exceed Class B limits for radio noise emissions for a digital
apparatus, set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian Department
of Communications. Operation in a residential area may cause unacceptable interference to radio and TV reception requiring the owner or operator to take whatever steps
necessary to correct the interference.
Cet équipement ne dépasse pas les limits de Class B d'émission de bruits radioélectriques
pour les appareils numériques, telles que prescrites par le Règlement sur le brouillage
radioélectrique établi par le ministère des Communications du Canada. L'exploitation
faite en milieu résidentiel peut entraîner le propriétaire ou l'opérateur à prendre
dispositions nécessaires pour en éliminer les causes.
