Notes On LCD Monitors

1.The LCD panel used in this monitor is a very high technology product with 3,932,160 thin film
transistors, giving you fine picture details. Occasionally, a few non-active pixels may appear on the
screen as a fixed point of red, green, blue, white or black. Please note that this does not indicate a
defective panel.

2. Set your resolution to 1280 x 1024 pixels at 60Hz refresh rate for optimum display quality.

3. Due to the nature of the LCD screen, an afterimage of the previous screen may remain after

switching the image when the same image has been displayed for a long time. The monitor will
slowly recover from this.

4. The screen surface is very soft. Do not rub, touch or tap the screen surface with sharp object such

as pen or pencil. This contact may scratch or damage the screen. These damages are not covered
under the warranty.

using the product.

J All operating instructions must be read and understood before the product is operated.
J These safety and operating instructions must be kept in safe place for future reference.
J All warnings on the product and in the instructions must be observed closely.
J All operating instructions must be followed.
J Do not use attachments not recommended by the manufacturer. Use of inadequate

J If you plan to use a 12V DC power supply unit other than the AC adapter supplied with the

product, make sure the power supply unit provides stable voltage with minimum fluctuations.

J Do not overload AC outlets or extension cords. Overloading can cause fire or electric shock.
J Never insert an object into the product through vents or openings. High voltage flows in the

product, and inserting an object can cause electric shock and/or short internal parts. For the
same reason, do not spill water or liquid on the product.

J Do not attempt to service the product yourself. Removing covers can expose you to high voltage

and other dangerous conditions. Request a qualified service person to perform servicing.

J If any of the following conditions occurs, unplug the power cord from the AC outlet, and request a

qualified service person to perform repairs.

a. When the power cord or plug in damaged.
b. When a liquid was spilled on the product or when objects have fallen into the product.
c. When the product has been exposed to rain or water.
d. When the product does not operate properly as described in the operating instructions.

Do not touch the controls other than those described in the operating instructions.
Improper adjustment of controls not described in the instructions can cause damage,

which often requires extensive adjustment work by a qualified technician.
e. When the product has been dropped or damaged.
f. When the product displays an abnormal condition. Any noticeable abnormality in the

product indicates that the product needs servicing.

J In case the product needs replacement parts, make sure that the service person uses

replacement parts specified by the manufacturer, or those with the same characteristics and
performance as the original parts. Use of unauthorized parts can result in fire, electric shock
and/or other danger.

J Upon completion of service or repair work, request the service technician to perform safety

checks to ensure that the product is in proper operating condition.

J When mounting the product on a wall or ceiling, be sure to install the product according to the

method recommended by the manufacturer.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS(Continued)

J Unplug the power cord from the AC outlet before cleaning the product. Use a damp cloth to clean

the product. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.

J Unplug the power cord from the AC outlet if you do not use the product for considerably long time.
J Do not use the product near water, such as bathtub, washbasin, kitchen sink and laundry tub,

swimming pool and in a wet basement.

J Keep the product away from direct rays of the Sun-light.
J Do not place the product on an unstable cart, stand, tripod or table. Placing the product on an

unstable base can cause the product to fall, resulting in serious personal injuries as well as

V - Chip (US only)

1. Function of V-Chip

The V - Chip can block certain rated television shows off television (if chosen) so children cannot

watch programs that their parents do not approve. The chip in each television will decode
program-rating information which is transmitted along with the television signal. It will then
compare the rating codes with values preset by the viewer, which is meant to be the parents. If
the rating codes are higher than the preset values, the television signal will be blocked, and a
blank screen will be displayed.

2. Setting V-Chip

EN-7500 has V-Chip feature and you can set it up via OSD.

1. Select V -Chip on OSD, then enter 4 digits of pin number(Initial pin number is “0000”).
If you enter an incorrect pin number “Incorrect” m essage will be displayed for 3 seconds.

2. Use arrow keys to change or to activate the highlighted function.

3. Setting up TV Guidelines
Use arrow buttons to move around the matrix and press Menu button to change the
value from "U" to "B" or "B" to "U“.
