Unpacking

Before unpacking your LCD monitor, prepare a stable, level, and
clean surface near a wall outlet for your LCD monitor.

1. Set the LCD monitor box in an upright position and open

from the top of the box before removing the right/left
cushions.

2. Check to see that you have the following accessories shown

below:

• LCD monitor

• Power cord

• 15-pin D-sub signal cable

• DVI cable

• Audio cable

• User Guide

Note: Remember to save your original box and packaging
material in case you need to transport or ship the monitor. If
you have to return your unit for service and the original
packaging has been discarded, please contact your dealer or
nearest service center for advice or replacement of packaging.

Precautions

• Read all of these warnings and save the manual for later use.

• Follow all warnings and instructions on the product.

• Do not cover or block the vent holes in the case.

• Do not insert sharp objects or spill liquid into the LCD
monitor through the cabinet slots; this may cause accidental
fire, electric shock or failure.

• Disconnect the power plug from the AC outlet if you are not
going to use the monitor for an extended period of time.

• Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or
removing the cover may expose you to dangerous voltage
points or other risks.

2

• Do not touch the screen directly with your fingers as you may
damage the screen, and oil from your skin is difficult to
remove.

• Do not apply pressure to the screen, as the screen is very
delicate.

• Keep the monitor away from extremely hot, cold or humid
places.

• Do not place the monitor directly under sunlight, in dusty
surroundings, or near equipment which may generate strong
magnetic fields.

Cleaning

Warning:

If you drop any material or liquid such as water onto the
monitor when cleaning, unplug the power cable immediately
and contact your dealer or the nearest service center. Always
make sure your hands are dry when unplugging the power
cable.

Caution:

• For safety reasons, turn off the power switch and unplug the
monitor before cleaning.

• Do not scratch or rub the screen with a hard object.

• Never use any of the following solvents on the LCD monitor:
Thinner; spray-type cleaners; benzene; wax; abrasive
cleaners; and acid or alkaline solvents. Such harsh chemicals
may cause damage to the cabinet and the LCD screen.

• Rubbing the cabinet with products made of rubber or plastic
for prolonged periods may cause degeneration or loss of
paint on the cabinet.

Cabinet

• Remove dirt with a lightly moistened cloth and a mild solvent
detergent. Then wipe the cabinet with a soft dry cloth.

LCD

• Periodic cleaning with a soft dry cloth is recommended.

• Do not use tissue to clean the LCD screen, as this may
damage the screen.

Connecting the Monitor

Note:

• Turn off your PC and the LCD monitor before connecting your
LCD monitor to the computer.

• Place the monitor on a flat and level surface.

• Usage of incorrect voltage will cause malfunction and may
cause fire or electric shock.

• Do not pull or bend the power cable or place the monitor or
any heavy objects on the cables. If the cables are damaged,
they may cause fire or electric shock.

Troubleshooting

This LCD monitor comes pre-adjusted with standard VGA
timing. Due to output timing differences among various VGA
cards, you may initially experience an unstable or unclear
display when a new display mode or new VGA card is selected.

Before applying any of the following troubleshooting
procedures, you should first apply the Auto Adjust option in the
OSD menu.

PROBLEM: Display is unclear and unstable

To stabilize and clarify your display, press the OSD menu
button, and adjust the clock and phase to obtain a clear display.

PROBLEM: There is no LCD display

If there is no display on the LCD, refer to the following:

1. Make sure that the power indicator on the LCD monitor is lit,

that all connections are secure, and that the system is
running on the correct timing. Refer to “Supported Timing”
on page 10.

2. Turn off the LCD monitor and then turn it back on again.

Press the OSD Menu button once and then press one of the
Adjustment Control buttons several times. If there is still no
display, press the other Adjustment Control button several
times.

3. If step 2 does not work, connect your PC system to another

external CRT. If your PC system functions properly with a
CRT monitor but it does not function with the LCD monitor,
and the LCD monitor’s power LED is blinking, the output
timing of the PC’s VGA card may be out of the LCD’s
synchronous range. Change to one of the alternate modes
listed in the “Supported Timing” section on page 10, or
replace the VGA card and repeat steps 1 and 2.

4. If the power LED is not lit, check that the AC power connector

is securely connected, and verify that the AC adapter LED is
lit. If the AC adapter LED is not lit, please contact your
dealer for assistance.
