The Advanced No Touch Auto Adjust function is able to recognize new signals even when neither the resolution nor the refresh rate has changed. If several PCs are connected to the monitor, and each transmit very similar (or even the same) signals in terms of resolution and refresh rates, the monitor recognizes that there is a new signal and automatically optimizes the picture without

the need for any action on the part of the user. OFF: A-NTAA is disabled. ON: If a change in signal is detected A-NTAA will adjust the monitor to the optimal settings for the new signal. If no change in

the signal is detected then A-NTAA does not activate. The screen will be blank while the monitor optimizes the signal. OPTION: Functions the same as ON, except that the screen does not go blank when the monitor makes adjustments for changes in signal, allowing the monitor to display the new signal faster.

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.

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).
