Safety Instructions

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

designation of the DC adapter corresponds to the local electrical supply. Never insert anything metallic into the openings in the cabinet of the ﬂat panel display

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

should open the case of the FPD. Never use your FPD if the power cord has been damaged. Do not allow anything to 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 FPD from an electric socket.

Openings in the FPD cabinet are provided for ventilation. To prevent overheating, these

openings should not be blocked or covered. Also, avoid using the FPD 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 FPD in a bookcase or some other enclosed space, be sure to provide adequate ventilation.

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

Do not expose the FPD to rain or use it near water (in kitchens, near swimming pools, etc.).

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

Place the FPD on a solid surface and treat it carefully. The screen is made of thin 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 FPD near an easily accessible AC outlet.

If your FPD does not operate normally – in particular, if there are any unusual 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 FPD in direct sunlight, and keep it

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

Unplug your FPD from the AC outlet before any service.

Plug and Play

Our adoption of the new VESA® Plug and Play solution eliminates complicated and time consuming setup. It allows you to install your monitor in a Plug and Play compatible system without the usual hassles and confusion. Your PC system can easily identify and conﬁgure itself for use with your display. This monitor automatically tells the PC system its Extended Display Identiﬁcation (EDID) data using Display Data Channel (DDC) protocols so the PC system can automatically conﬁgure itself to use the ﬂat panel display. If your PC system needs a video driver, following the instructions given below according to the operating system your computer uses.

Installing the Video Driver

When prompted by the operating system for the monitor driver, insert the Driver diskette included with this monitor. Driver installation is slightly different from one operating system to another. Follow the directions as appropriate for the operating system you have.

English

Windows® 98

Windows® 98 will auto-detect your new monitor and start the “Add New Hardware

Wizard” if the drivers are not already installed. Click the drivers.

Check the diskette drive box to install the drivers off the diskette provided with your

FPD monitor and click Conﬁrm that Windows found the driver on the diskette and click

the driver.

To manually install or update the driver, follow the directions below:

Click on

Self-Test Feature Check (STFC)

Your monitor provides a self test feature that allows you to check whether your monitor is functioning properly. If your monitor and computer are properly connected but the monitor screen remains dark and the power indicator is blinking, run the monitor self-test by performing the following steps:

START, SETTINGS, CONTROL PANEL, DISPLAY SETTINGS

START, SETTINGS, CONTROL PANEL, DISPLAY, ADVANCED

tab,

HAVE DISK

tab,

Turn off both your computer and the monitor.

Unplug the video cable from the back of the computer.

Turn on the monitor.

Setting up Your Monitor

If the monitor is functioning properly, you will see a white box with a red border and black text inside as shown in the following illustration:

No Connection

Check Signal Cable

Figure 5. Monitor self test screen

The three boxes inside the border are red, green and blue. Failure of any of the boxes to appear indicates a problem with your monitor. This box also appears during normal operation if the video cable becomes disconnected or damaged.

Turn off your monitor and reconnect the video cable; then turn on both your computer

and the monitor.

If your monitor screen remains blank after using the previous procedure, check your video controller and computer system; your monitor is functioning properly.

Getting Help

English

If your monitor does not display an image, check your cable connections and refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 20. If you experience difﬁculties with the quality of the displayed image, run Auto Adjustment (see page 11) and refer to “Adjusting Your FPD” on page 10 or “Troubleshooting” on page 20.

Warm-up Time

All FPD monitors need time to become thermally stable the ﬁrst time you turn them on each day. Therefore, to achieve more accurate adjustments for parameters, allow the FPD monitor to warm (be on) for at least 20 minutes before making any screen adjustments.
