Important Information

Warning

Not for use in a computer room as defined in the Standard
for the Protection of Electronic Computer/ Data Processing
Equipment ANSI/NFPA 75.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with
the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference when
the equipment is operated in a commercial environment.
This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful
interference in which case the user will be required to correct
the interference at his own expense.

NOTE:
When you connect a computer to this monitor, use an RGB
cable including the ferrite core on both ends of the cable.
And regarding DVI and power cable, attach the supplied
ferrite cores. If you do not do this, this monitor will not
conform to mandatory FCC standards.
Attaching the ferrite cores:
Set the ferrite cores on both ends of the DVI cable (not
supplied), and both ends of the power cable (supplied).
Close the lid tightly until the clamps click.
Use the band to fasten the ferrite core (supplied) to the
DVI cable.

Recommandations importantes

Avertissement

Ne pas utiliser dans une salle d’ordinateurs telle que définie
dans la Norme pour la protection des ordinateurs
électroniques/appareils de traitement des données ANSI/
NFPA75.

DOC avis de conformation

Cet appareil numérigue de la Classe A respecte toutes les
exigences du Réglement sur le Matériel Brouilleur du Canada.

REMARQUE:
Pour raccorder un ordinateur à ce moniteur, procéder à
l’aide d’un câble RGB à âme de ferrite aux deux
extrémités. Sur les câbles DVI et les câbles d’alimentation
électrique, fixer les âmes de ferrite fournies aux extrémités.
Si vous ne le faîtes, le moniteur ne sera pas en
conformité avec les exigences des standards FCC.
Fixation des noyaux en ferrite.
Monter les tores en ferrite aux deux extrêmités du câble
DVI (non fourni) et aux deux extrêmités du câble
d’alimentation électrique (fourni).
Fermez doucement le couvercle jusqu’à ce que les crans
se clipsent.
Fixer le tore en ferrite (fourni) au câble DVI à l’aide d’un
collier.

*1 Only when using a graphic accelerator board that is capable of displaying 852⳯480.
*2 This signal is converted to a 1024 dots ⳯ 640 lines signal.
*3 The picture is displayed in the original resolution.
*4 The aspect ratio is 5:4. This signal is converted to a 960 dots⳯768 lines signal.
*5 Normally the RGB select mode suite for the input signals is set automatically. If the picture is not displayed properly, set the RGB mode

prepared for the input signals listed in the table above.
*6 To connect the monitor to Macintosh computer, use the monitor adapter (D-Sub 15-pin) to your computer's video port.
*7 Other screen modes (ZOOM and STADIUM) are available as well.
*8 When viewing a moving picture at a vertical frequency greater than 65Hz, the picture may sometimes be unstable (jumpy). If this occurs,

please set the refresh rate of the external equipment to 60Hz.

To view 480I@60Hz (480 interlaced lines, 60Hz refresh rate) or 576I@50Hz (567 interlaced lines, 50Hz refresh rate) when sync polarity

is “Sync on Green”, set “RGB SELECT” to “MOTION”.
*9 CVT standard compliant.

NOTE:

• While the input signals comply with the resolution listed in the table above, you may have to adjust the position and size of the picture or

the fine picture because of errors in synchronization of your computer.

⳯

• When a 1280 dots

• This monitor has a resolution of 1365 dots

1024 lines signal or 1600 dots ⳯ 1200 lines signal is input to the monitor, the picture will be compressed.

⳯

768 lines. It is recommended that the input signal should be XGA, wide XGA, or equivalent.

• With digital input some signals are not accepted.

• The sync may be disturbed when a nonstandard signal other than the aforementioned is input.

• If you are connecting a composite sync signal, use the HD terminal.

What is HDCP/HDCP technology?
HDCP is an acronym for High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection. High bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) is a system for
preventing illegal copying of video data sent over a Digital Visual Interface (DVI).
If you are unable to view material via the DVI input, this does not necessarily mean the PDP is not functioning properly. With the implementation
of HDCP, there may be cases in which certain content is protected with HDCP and might not be displayed due to the decision/intention of the
HDCP community (Digital Content Protection, LLC).
