Safety Instructions

Before connecting the AC power cord to the DC adapter outlet, make sure the voltage

1

designation of the DC adapter corresponds to the local electrical supply.
Never insert anything metallic into the cabinet openings of the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD)

2

monitor; doing so may create the danger of electric shock.
To avoid electric shock, never touch the inside of the LCD monitor. Only a qualified

3

technician should open the case of the LCD monitor.
Never use your LCD monitor if the power cord has been damaged. Do not allow anything to

4

rest on the power cord, and keep the cord away from areas where people can trip over it.
Be sure to hold the plug, not the cord, when disconnecting the LCD monitor from an

5

electric socket.

Openings in the LCD monitor cabinet are provided for ventilation. To prevent overheating,

6

these openings should not be blocked or covered. Also, avoid using the LCD monitor on a
bed, sofa, rug, or other soft surface. Doing so may block the ventilation openings in the
bottom of the cabinet. If you put the LCD monitor in a bookcase or some other enclosed
space, be sure to provide adequate ventilation.

Put your LCD monitor in a location with low humidity and a minimum of dust.

7

Do not expose the LCD monitor to rain or use it near water (in kitchens, near swimming

8

pools, etc.). If the LCD monitor accidentally gets wet, unplug it and contact an authorized
dealer immediately. You can clean the LCD monitor with a damp cloth when necessary, but
be sure to unplug the LCD monitor first.

Place the LCD monitor on a solid surface and treat it carefully. The screen is made of thin

9

glass with a plastic front surface and can be damaged if dropped, hit or scratched. Do not
clean the front panel with keton-type materials (e.g., acetone), ethyl alcohol, toluene, ethyl
acid, methyl, or chloride – these may damage the panel.

Locate your LCD monitor near an easily accessible AC outlet.

10

If your LCD monitor does not operate normally – in particular, if there are any unusual

11

sounds or smells coming from it – unplug it immediately and contact an authorized dealer
or service center.

High temperature can cause problems. Don’t use your LCD monitor in direct sunlight, and

12

keep it away from heaters, stoves, fireplaces, and other sources of heat.
Unplug the LCD monitor when it is going to be left unused for an extended period of time.

13

Unplug your LCD monitor from the AC outlet before any service.

14

CAUTION

Aspect ratio is the proportion of a vertical versus a
horizontal resolution, and it varies depending on the input
video resolution. For example, 640x480, 800x600 and
1024x768 have the aspect ratio of 4:3, and 1280x1024
has the aspect ratio of 5:4. To view original image without
geometrical distortion, aspect ratio must be preserved.
The aspect ratio of SyncMaster 240MP is 16:10 that is
neither 4:3 nor 5:4. Thus if the input image resolution has
the aspect ratio of 4:3 or 5:4, full screen expansion to
16:10 makes image looked wider to the horizontal
direction. This is not appropriate especially for those who
do CAD, CAM, and Graphic oriented jobs. To resolve this,
IMAGE SIZE control provides three different image
expansion methods: 16:10, 4:3, and 1:1.

Notice. This function is not available for UXGA and

WUXGA modes.

Performs full screen image expansion regardless of the
aspect ratio of the input video resolution

Performs image expansion while keeping the aspect ratio of
the original video resolution. Usually, there will be some
unfilled space to the horizontal direction.

* According to our R&D Lab test result, "Channel auto program" usually takes around 5
minutes to scan 125 channels. The scanning can be longer or shorter depending on the number
of channels and the video source whether the video source is from cable or air.

* Upon completion of "Channel auto program", the result of the channel search is stored in
designated internal memory. Each found channel is indexed into that memory and the channel
indices are used as a look up table. In other words, when a user changes the channel, the mon­itor refers to the look up table to find the appropriate channel freqency instead of performing
physical frequency scanning which gives a lot slower tuning result. In rare cases, "Channel
auto program" may miss a channel due to weak signals or for other reasons. To add a channel,
please enter the channel number by using the numeric key pads on the remote controller, then
use "Fine Tune" menu in the "TV Setup" menu from OSD. When you finish fine tunning the
channel you want to add, select "Save".

V - Chip (US only)

The Telecommunications Act of 1996 in USA requires that every television made, starting in
1998, must be equipped with the technological device named V - Chip. The V - Chip can block
certain rated television shows off television (if chosen) so children cannot watch programs
that their parents do not approve. With this device, program-rating information will be
transmitted along with the television signal, and be decoded by the chip in each television.
The chip will then compare the rating codes to values preset by the viewer, which is meant to
be the parents. If the rating codes are higher than the preset values, the television signal will
be blocked, and a blank screen will be displayed.

SyncMaster 240MP have this feature and you can adjust the V - Chip setting via OSD. Use
arrow keys on the remote controller or control buttons on the front cabinet of the monitor to
change the setting.

1. Select V - Chip on OSD, then enter 4 digits of pin number.

- Initial pin number is “0000”

- If you enter an incorrect pin number “Incorrect” message will be displayed for 3 seconds.

2. Use arrow keys to change or to activate the highlighted function.

3. Setting up TV Guidelines

PowerSaver

This monitor has a built-in power management system called PowerSaver. This system saves
energy by switching your monitor into a low-power mode when it has not been used for a
certain period of time. The available modes are “On”, “Standby”, “Sleep”, and “Deep Sleep”.
Power Saver operates with a VESA DPMS compliant video card installed in your computer.
You use a software utility installed on your computer to set up this feature. See Table 1 below
