MONITOR USER’S GUIDE

This user’s guide provides important information about operating your
monitor. Before using the monitor, please read this guide thoroughly, and
save it for future reference.

PACKING LIST

Before setting up and using your monitor, examine the items in the monitor
package. If anything is missing or damaged, please contact MPC
immediately. Look for the following items:

• 17” LCD monitor

• F1760i LCD Monitor User’s Guide

• 100/120 VAC-rated power cord

• Line in cable for audio connection

• Monitor base

• Analog Video Signal Cable

Note: Save the original shipping carton and packing materials to transport
or ship your monitor. If you transport the monitor over long distances,
completely repackage the monitor in its original packing material.

SAFETY INFORMATION

• Do not use the monitor near standing bodies of water or in humid

envirionments.

• Set the monitor on a flat, stable surface. Do not place it on an unstable

cart, stand, or table. If the monitor falls, it might injure a person and/or
cause serious damage to the monitor.

• When placing the monitor on a cart or stand, use only a cart or stand

recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the monitor. If you
mount the monitor on a wall or shelf, use a mounting kit approved by the
manufacturer and follow the kit instructions.

• Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the monitor are provided

for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the monitor and to protect
it from overheating, these openings must not be blocked or covered. Do
not place the monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface. This
monitor must never be placed near or over a radiator or heat register.
This monitor must not be placed in a built-in enclosure of any kind
unless proper ventilation is provided.

• The monitor must only be connected to the AC power source as

indicated on the label. If you are unsure of the type of AC power
available, ask your local power company. Only connect this monitor to a
power outlet that matches the power requirements of this monitor.

• The monitor is equipped with a three-prong, grounded plug (a plug with a

third pin for grounding). For safety purposes, this plug will only fit into a
grounded power outlet. If your outlet does not accommodate the three­prong plug, have an electrician install the correct type of outlet, or use an
adapter to ground the appliance safely.

• During a lightning storm, unplug the monitor. Also, unplug the monitor

when it will not be used for a long time. This will protect the monitor from
damage due to power surges.

• Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading power

strips and extension cords can result in a fire or electric shock.

• Never push objects of any kind into the monitor through openings. The

objects could touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts, possibly
resulting in an electric shock or a fire hazard.

• Never spill liquid of any kind on the monitor. If this occurs, disconnect

from the power source immediately.

• Do not attempt to service the monitor yourself. Opening or removing the

monitor’s cover can expose you to dangerous voltages and other
hazards. Please refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

• To ensure satisfactory operation, only use the monitor with UL listed

computers that have the appropriate configured receptacles marked
between 100–240 VAC, Min. 3.5A.

• Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not place the

monitor where people might walk on the cord.

• Do not place the monitor in direct sunlight or where it is near excessive

dust or mechanical vibration or shock.

Warning: To prevent a fire or shock hazard, do not expose the
monitor to rain or moisture. Dangerously high voltages are present
inside the monitor. Do not open the monitor cabinet. Refer servicing
to qualified personnel only.

Warning: Keep all packing materials away from children.

LCD MONITOR FEATURES AND CLEANING

Monitor Features

• 17-inch (43.2 cm) TFT color LCD monitor

• 75mm x 75mm VESA mounting pad

• EPA ENERGY STAR

®

• Ergonomic design (complies with MPRII)

• Space-saving, compact case design

• Integrated power supply

• Integrated 1W Speakers in front bezel

The following occurrences are normal with an LCD monitor and do not
indicate a problem.

• Due to the nature of the internal fluorescent backlights, the screen may

flicker during initial use. If this occurs, turn off the monitor and then turn
it on again, making sure the flicker disappears.

• You may find slightly uneven brightness on the screen depending on the

desktop pattern you use.

• The LCD screen has an effective pixel count of 99.99% or more. It may

include blemishes of 0.01% or less, such as a missing pixel or a pixel lit
all of the time. Refer to Appendix F for additional details.

• Due to the nature of the LCD screen, an after-image or ghost of the

previous image may remain after switching the image when the same
image is displayed for a long time. In this case, you can recover the
screen slowly by changing the image or turning off the monitor for a few
hours.

• The life of the internal fluorescent backlights used in the LCD monitor is

approximately 30,000 hours. Contact MPC Technical Support or an
authorized dealer for a replacement when the screen is dark, flickering,
or not lighting up. Never attempt to replace the light yourself. Refer
servicing to qualified personnel only.

Cleaning the Monitor

To keep the monitor looking new, periodically clean the monitor’s case with a
soft cloth. As a safety precaution, always unplug the monitor before cleaning
it. Stubborn stains on the monitor’s case can be removed using a damp,
dust-free cloth and a mild detergent solution. Never apply water directly to
the LCD screen. Always apply the water to the cloth first, and then wipe
down the screen. You can also purchase and use monitor wipes to clean the
LCD screen.

Caution: Never use strong solvents, such as thinner, benzene, or
abrasive cleaners because these will damage the monitor.
