Important Safety Instructions
!If an outdoor antenna or cable system is connected to the display, be sure the antenna or cable system is
grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and static charge buildups. Section 810 of the
National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984, provides information about proper grounding of the mast
and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding
conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the
grounding electrode.
!If this display is equipped with separate speakers, please remove the speakers prior to moving the display.
Moving the display with the speakers attached may cause damage or injury.
!Disconnect the unit from the main supply and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the follow-
ing conditions:
-Power cord or plug is damaged or frayed.
-Liquid has been spilled into the product and/or the unit has been exposed to water or moisture.
-Unit does not operate normally when the operating instructions are not followed. Adjust only those
controls that are covered by the operating instructions, improper adjustment of other controls may result
in damage which often requires extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the unit to normal
operation.
-Unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged.
-Unit exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service.
Cleaning & Maintenance
!Disconnect from the electric outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use only a slightly
damp cloth for cleaning.
Special Warranty Information
Cell Defects
!Although the display panels are produced with more than 99% percent active cells, there may be some cells
that do not produce light or remain lit. This is considered normal and not a manufacturer defect.

Regulatory Notice
FCC Statement
The Federal Communications Commission Radio Frequency Interference Statement includes the following
warning:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part
15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in
a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television receptions, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
Warning
User must use shielded signal interface cables to maintain FCC compliance for the product. Provided with this
display is a detachable power supply cord with IEC320 style terminations. It may be suitable for connection to
any UL Listed personal computer with similar configuration. Before making the connection, make sure the
voltage rating of the computer convenience outlet is the same as the monitor and that the ampere rating
of the computer convenience outlet is equal to or exceeds the monitor voltage rating. For 120 Volt applications,
use only UL Listed detachable power cord with NEMA configuration 5-15P type (parallel blades) plug cap. For
240 Volt applications use only UL Listed Detachable power supply cord with NEMA configuration 6015P type
(tandem blades) plug cap.

Understanding Widescreen Modes
This monitor is capable of displaying a widescreen image on the native 16:9 aspect ratio screen. However, not
all available video content fits perfectly in a widescreen (16:9) format resulting in unused screen space. This
monitor is capable of displaying images in various formats that is suitable for various types of content depending
on its size.
For 4:3 (Square) Content
Content from traditional TV, VCR, and some DVD’s are formatted using a “square” 4:3 format. When
viewing content in this “Square” format the following viewing modes are suitable.
4:3 (NORMAL)
In 4:3 mode, the original 4:3 image is preserved but black bars are used to fill
the the extra space on the left and right.
16:9 (FULL)
The original 4:3 image is proportionally stretched to fill the entire screen. This
is the default setting from factory.
CINERAMA
The original 4:3 image is stretched only on the left and right sides to fill the
screen, leaving the center image unchanged.
For Widescreen Content
Depending on the content displayed on this 16:9 monitor, you may notice smaller black bars on top or
bottom of the screen. Use the following zoom modes to elimate black bars.
