Your New LCD Monitor! ...................................................................1
Your LCD Monitor has been designed to be versatile, ergonomic and
user-friendly. The LCD Monitor is capable of displaying most standards,
from 640 x 400 VGA to 1280 x 1024 SXGA. The digital controls located on
the front panel allow the user to easily adjust the Monitor’s display
parameters. The LCD Monitor’s small footprint allows you more room in
your workspace for other peripherals. Lightweight and compact, the LCD
Monitor is the perfect solution for users on the go. You can use the LCD
Monitor for everything from making business presentations to playing
computer games. The two stereo speakers allow you to further expand
your computer’s multimedia capabilities by connecting your computer’s
Audio out port to the LCD Monitor’s Audio in port. If you have a complete
full workstation, the LCD Monitor has the additional feature of an optional
wall-mountable stand for added convenience.
The architecture of the LCD Monitor incorporates an LCD panel that
produces a clear display with low radiation emission, limiting health
concerns. With its low power consumption, the LCD Monitor helps you
reduce your power bill.
Unpacking
Before you unpack your LCD Monitor, prepare a suitable workspace for
your LCD Monitor and computer. You need a stable, level and clean
surface near a wall outlet. Even though the LCD Monitor uses very little
power, you should put it in a location which allows sufficient airflow to
ensure that the LCD Monitor and your computer do not become too hot.
Set up your LCD Monitor so that the panel doesn’t face a window where
sunlight often comes in. The glare caused by sunlight reflecting off the
LCD Monitor’s screen will makes it difficult to see.

Note: Using a computer for an extended period of time with a poor
workstation set-up and incorrect working habits can cause health
problems. The science of ergonomics studies the relationship between
health and a suitable working environment. There is a section on
ergonomics at the end of this chapter. For more information on
ergonomics, contact your nearest computer bookstore, or local library.
The Internet also has information on this and other subjects.
After you unpack your LCD Monitor; make sure the following items are
included in the box and in good condition:
•LCD Monitor
•Monitor-to-PC Analog signal cable (15-pin)
•Monitor-to-PC Digital signal cable (24-pin)
•Mini stereo audio cable
•AC Adapter
•Power cord
•This user’s manual
If you find that any of these items are missing or appear damaged,
contact your dealer immediately. Do not throw away the packing material
or shipping carton in case you need to ship or store the LCD Monitor in
the future.
Identifying Components
The LCD Monitor has been designed to provide easy access to all
controls and peripheral ports. The following figures will help you identify

Appendix
Troubleshooting Procedures
This LCD Monitor was pre-adjusted in the factory 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.
This LCD Monitor Supports Multiple VGA Modes. Refer to Addendum for
a listing of the factory-preset modes supported by this LCD Monitor.
PROBLEM: Display is Unclear and Unstable
To stabilize and clarify your display, follow this procedure in this order:
1. It’s best to adjust the display on a screen displaying of vertical lines.
In Windows, load a wallpaper bitmap that has vertical lines in it. (or
you can select the window shut down screen)
2. After you have the wallpaper loaded, open the OSD and select the
“Clock” function. Press the top (or bottom) Adjustment Control button
and continue pressing the button until you see vertical dark and light
lines across the screen.
3. When you can see distinct light and dark vertical bands, stop pressing
the Adjustment Control button. Now press the opposite (top or
bottom) Adjustment Control button. The vertical dark and light bands
will decrease in number. Keep pressing the button until the distinct
bands disappear and you have a clear display.
4. Next, press the Function Control button to choose the “Phase”
function. The Phase will adjust the horizontal display. Press the top
(or bottom) Adjustment Control button and you will see horizontal dark
and light lines appear. The number of lines increases as you press
the button. Now press the bottom (or top) Adjustment Control button
until the lines disappear and you have a clear display.
17
Page 23
PROBLEM: There is no LCD Display
If there is no display on the LCD, please perform the following steps:
1. Make sure that the power indicator on the LCD Monitor is lit, all
connections are secure, and the system is running on the correct
timing. Refer to the Addendum for information on timing.
2. Turn off the LCD Monitor and then turn it back on again. Press the
upper Function Control button (refer to Chapter 2) once and then
press either the upper or lower Adjustment Control button several
times. If there is still no display, press the other Adjustment Control
button several times.
3. If step 2 doesn’t 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. Please change to an alternate mode
listed in Addendum or replace the VGA card and repeat steps 1 and 2.
4. If the PC doesn’t function with the CRT monitor neither, check BIOS to
see if there is a dual scan setting under the display mode item. Set
the BIOS display mode to Dual Scan or CRT and try again. If there is
still no display, then there may be a problem with your system.
Contact technical support.
5. If the power LED is not lit, check to see if the AC power connector is
securely connected. Verify that the AC adapter LED is lit. If the AC
adapter LED is not lit, please contact your dealer for assistance.
