FOR YOUR SAFETY

Before operating the monitor, please read this manual thoroughly. This
manual should be retained for future reference.

FCC Class B Radio Frequency Interference Statement
WARNING: (FOR FCC CERTIFIED MODELS)

NOTE: 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 reception, 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:

1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.

4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

NOTICE:

1. The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.

2. Shielded interface cables and AC power cord, if any, must be used in
order to comply with the emission limits.

3. The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference
caused by unauthorized modification to this equipment. It is the
responsibilities of the user to correct such interference.

WARNING:

To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the monitor to rain or moisture.
Dangerously high voltages are present inside the monitor. Do not open the
cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.

PRECAUTIONS

• Do not use the monitor near water, e.g. near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink,

laundry tub, swimming pool or in a wet basement.

• Do not place the monitor on an unstable cart, stand, or table. If the monitor falls,

it can injure a person and cause serious damage to the appliance. Use only a
cart or stand recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the monitor. If
you mount the monitor on a wall or shelf, use a mounting kit approved by the
manufacturer and follow the kit instructions.

• Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for

ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the monitor and to protect it from
overheating, be sure these openings are not blocked or covered. Do not place
the monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface. Do not place the monitor
near or over a radiator or heat register. Do not place the monitor in a bookcase
or cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.

• The monitor should be operated only from the type of power source indicated

on the label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home,
consult your dealer or local power company.

• The monitor is equipped with a three-pronged grounded plug, a plug with a

third (grounding) pin. This plug will fit only into a grounded power outlet as a
safety feature. If your outlet does not accommodate the three-wire plug, have
an electrician install the correct outlet, or use an adapter to ground the
appliance safely. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounded plug.

• Unplug the unit during a lightening storm or when it will not be used for long

period of time. This will protect the monitor from damage due to power surges.

• Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in

fire or electric shock.

• Never push any object into the slot on the monitor cabinet. It could short

circuit parts causing a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquids on the monitor.

• Do not attempt to service the monitor by yourself; opening or removing covers

can expose you to dangerous voltages and other hazards. Please refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.

• To ensure satisfactory operation, use the monitor only with UL listed computers

which have appropriate configured receptacles marked between 100 - 240V AC,
Min. 5A.

• The wall socket shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily

accessible.

Important Recycle Instruction:

Lamp(s) inside this product contain mercury and must be recycled or disposed
of according to local, state or federal laws. For more information, contact the
electronic industries alliance at WWW.EIAE.ORG.
information check WWW.LAMPRECYCLE.ORG.

SPECIAL NOTES ON LCD MONITORS

The following symptoms are normal with LCD monitor and do not indicate a
problem.

NOTES

• Due to the nature of the fluorescent light, the screen may flicker during initial

use. Turn off the Power Switch and then turn it on again to make sure the flicker
disappears.

• You may find slightly uneven brightness on the screen depending on the

desktop pattern you use.

• The LCD screen has effective pixels of 99.99% or more. It may include blemishes

of 0.01% or less such as a missing pixel or a pixel lit all of the time.

• Due to the nature of the LCD screen, an afterimage of the previous screen may

remain after switching the image, when the same image is displayed for hours.
In this case, the screen is recovered slowly by changing the image or turning off
the Power Switch for hours.

• When the screen becomes black or flashing, or cannot illuminate any more,

contact your dealer or service center to replace parts. Don’t repair the screen by
yourself!

PLUG AND PLAY

Plug & Play DDC2B Feature

This monitor is equipped with VESA DDC2B capabilities according to the VESA DDC
STANDARD. It allows the monitor to inform the host system of its identity and,
depending on the level of DDC used, communicate additional information about
its display capabilities.
The DDC2B is a bidirectional data channel based on the I²C protocol. The host can
request EDID information over the DDC2B channel.

THIS MONITOR WILL APPEAR TO BE NON-FUNCTIONAL IF THERE IS NO VIDEO
INPUT SIGNAL. IN ORDER FOR THIS MONITOR TO OPERATE PROPERLY, THERE
MUST BE A VIDEO INPUT SIGNAL.

This monitor meets the Green monitor standards as set by the Video Electronics
Standards Association (VESA) and The Swedish Confederation Employees (NUTEK).
This feature is designed to conserve electrical energy by reducing power
consumption when there is no video-input signal present. When there is no video
input signal this monitor, following a time-out period, will automatically switch to
an OFF mode. This reduces the monitor's internal power supply consumption. After
the video input signal is restored, full power is restored and the display is
automatically redrawn. The appearance is similar to a "Screen Saver" feature except
the display is completely off. The display is restored by pressing a key on the
keyboard, or clicking the mouse.

USING THE RIGHT POWER CORD :

The accessory power cord for the Northern American region is the wallet plug with
NEMA 5-15 style and is UL listed and CSA labeled. The voltage rating for the power
cord shall be 125 volts AC.
Supplied with units intended for connection to power outlet of personal computer:
Please use a cord set consisting of a minimum No. 18 AWG, type SJT or SVT three
conductors flexible cord. One end terminates with a grounding type attachment
plug, rated 10A, 250V, CEE-22 male configuration. The other end terminates with a
molded-on type connector body, rated 10A, 250V, having standard CEE-22

configuration.

Please note that power supply cord needs to use VDE 0602, 0625, 0821 approval
power cord in European counties.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT (FAQ) (cont.)

CLOCK (pixel frequency) controls the number of pixels scanned by one horizontal
sweep. If the frequency is not correct, the screen shows vertical stripes and the
picture has not correct width.

FOCUS adjusts the phase of the pixel clock signal. With a wrong phase adjustment
the picture has horizontal disturbances in light picture.

For FOCUS and CLOCK adjustment use “dot-pattern” or win 95/98/2000/ME/XP
shut-down mode pattern.

ERROR MESSAGE & POSSIBLE SOLUTION

CABLE NOT CONNECTED:

1. Check that the signal-cable is properly connected, if the connector is loose,
tighten the connector's screws.

2. Check the signal-cable's connection pins for damage.

INPUT NOT SUPPORT:

Your computer has been set to unsuitable display mode, set the computer to
