RESOLUTION NOTIFIER: The Resolution Notifi er warns the user if the input signal
to the monitor is set at something other than the optimized resolution of
1280 x 1024. If the monitor detects a signal that is not at the optimized
resolution then, after 30 seconds, a warning message will appear on the screen.
When the Resolution Notifi er is ON, the warning will appear every 30 seconds.
The Resolution Notifi er can be turned OFF in the OSM. The factory default for the
Resolution Notifi er is ON.

HOT KEY: When this function is activated, the brightness and contrast of the
monitor can be adjusted without entering the OSM menu.
The “Left” or “Right” buttons adjust the brightness level.
The “Down” or Up” buttons adjust the contrast level.
FACTORY PRESET: Selecting the factory preset allows the user to reset most of the
OSM control settings back to the factory settings.
Individual settings can be reset by highlighting the control that needs to be reset,
and pressing the RESET button.
Information
Provides information about the current resolution being displayed by the monitor.
Also provides technical information including which preset timing is being used as
well as the horizontal and vertical frequencies.
OSM WARNINGS: OSM Warning menus alert the user when there are
problems with the input signal. These warnings will disappear when the Exit
button is pressed.
NO SIGNAL: This warning appears when there is no Horizontal or
Vertical Sync. After power is turned on or when there is a change of input
signal, the No Signal window will appear.
RESOLUTION NOTIFIER: This warning appears when the monitor detects
a resolution other than the optimized resolution. For the example, if the
optimized resolution for the monitor is 1280 x 1024 and a signal using a
resolution of 1024 x 768 is detected, the “Resolution Notifi er” warning
will appear.
OUT OF RANGE: This warns if the input signal is out of the optimized
resolution and refresh rate range that is used by monitor.
NOTE: If “CHANGE DVI SELECTION” is displayed, switch to DVI SELECTION.

Advanced OSM Controls
In addition to the standard On Screen Menu (OSM), the Advanced OSM Control menu
allows the user to have much more control over regular OSM functions as well as
access to functions not available in the standard OSM.
To use the advanced menu
• Turn off your monitor using the front "POWER" button.
• Turn on your monitor by pushing the “POWER” and “SELECT” button simultaneously
for at least one second. Then press one of the following front OSM buttons: EXIT,
LEFT, RIGHT, UP, or DOWN.
• You will see the Advanced OSM Control menu. This menu is larger than the standart
OSM and has numbered tags instead of icons.
• To exit the Advanced OSM, turn off and restart your monitor in the normal way.
To adjust the setting, use the buttons on the front panel to highlight desired tag and
press "SELECT". Use the buttons to make the adjustment. Once the setting is at the
desired level press "SELECT" and then "EXIT" to go back to the previous menu.

Using the “SCHEDULE” function allows you to set up to seven
different scheduled time intervals when the LCD Monitor will
be activated. You can select the time the monitor turns on and
turns off, the day of week the monitor is activated, and which
input source the monitor will use for each scheduled activation
period. A check mark in the box next to the number of the
schedule indicates that the selected schedule is in effect. To
select which schedule to set, use the up/down arrows to move
the cursor vertically to select a schedule (1 to 7) to be set. Use
the “down” or “up” buttons to move the red bar horizontally
within the particular schedule. The “SELECT” button is used to
make a selection . If you create a schedule but do not want to
use a power on time, select “--” in the “ON” time slot. If you do
not want to use a power off time select “--” in the OFF time slot.
If there is no input selected (“--- --” showing in the input spot) the
input from the previous schedule will be used. Selecting
EVERY DAY within a schedule takes priority over other schedules that are set up to operate weekly.
Schedules are numbered 1-7. If two schedules are programmed
for the same time, then the highest numbered schedule has priority. For example schedule #7 will take priority over schedule
#5. When schedules are overlapping, a scheduled Power ON
time has priority over a scheduled Power OFF time.
When the “OFF TIMER” (see page 21) is set, the “SCHEDULE”
function is disabled.

Using the Auto Brightness function
The brightness of the LCD screen can be set to increase or decrease depending on the
amount of ambient light within the room. If the room is bright, the monitor becomes
correspondingly bright. If the room is dim, then the monitor will dim accordingly. The
purpose of this function is to make the viewing experience more comfortable to the eye
in a variety of lighting conditions.
The Auto Brightness function is set to OFF by default.
SETUP
Use the following procedure to determine the Brightness Range that the monitor will use
when the Auto Brightness function is activated.
1. Set the BRIGHT level. This is the brightness
level that the monitor will go up to when the
ambient light level is highest. Make sure the
room is at its brightest when setting this level.
Select “1” in the AUTO BRIGHTNESS menu.
(Figure 1)
Then use the front buttons to move the cursor
up to the BRIGHTNESS setting. Choose the
desired brightness level. (Figure 2).
2. Set the DARK level. This is the level of
brightness that the monitor will go down to
when the ambient light level is low. Make
sure the room is at its darkest when setting
this level.
Then use the front buttons to move the cursor
up to the BRIGHTNESS setting. Choose the
desired brightness level. (Figure 3).
