Preface: Safety Information

Please read and follow these instruc-

tions when connecting and using your

computer monitor.

Before connecting the AC power

1

cord to an outlet, make sure the
voltage designation on your moni­tor corresponds to the local elec­trical supply.

Never insert anything metallic into

2

the monitor openings. Doing so
may create the danger of electric
shock.

To avoid electric shock, never
touch the inside of the monitor.

3

Only a qualified technician should
open the monitor’s case.

Never use your monitor if the

4

power cord has been damaged.
Do not allow anything to rest on

the power cord, and keep the cord

away from where people could trip
over it.

Be sure to hold the plug, not the
cord, when disconnecting the

5

monitor from an electric socket.

Put your monitor in a location with

7

low humidity and a minimum of
dust. Avoid places like damp
basements or dusty hallways.

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

8

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

Place the monitor on a solid sur-

face and treat it carefully. The

9

screen is made of glass and can
be damaged if dropped or sharply
hit.

Locate your monitor near an easily
accessible AC outlet.

10

If your monitor does not operate
normally – in particular, if there

11

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

Openings in the monitor cabinet
are provided for ventilation. To

6

prevent overheating, these open­ings should not be blocked or cov­ered. Also, avoid using the 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 moni­tor in a bookcase or some other

enclosed space, be sure to pro­vide adequate ventilation.

2

High temperatures can cause

12

problems. Don’t use your monitor

in direct sunlight, and keep it away

from heaters, stoves, fireplaces,

and other sources of heat.
Unplug the monitor when it is

going to be left unused for an

13

extended period of time.
Unplug your monitor from the AC

outlet before any service.

Connecting Your Monitor

to a Computer

Turn off your computer and unplug

1

its power cord.
Connect the signal cable to the

2

signal port on the back of your

monitor.

If you are using a Macintosh com­puter, connect the other end of the

3

signal cable to a Macintosh
adapter. (The adapter is not includ­ed with your monitor. Contact your
dealer for more information.) If you
are using an IBM-compatible com­puter, skip to step 5.

Follow the instructions included

4

with your adapter to set the pins
on your adapter, if necessary.

Connect the signal cable (with the
adapter if necessary) to the video

5

port on the back of your computer.

This port might be directly

attached to your computer, or it
might be part of a video board,

video card, or graphics card.

Connect the power cord for your
monitor to the power port on the

6

back of the monitor.
Plug the power cords of your com-

7

puter and your monitor into a near­by outlet.

Turn on your computer and mon­itor. If your monitor displays an

8

image, installation is complete.
