a display. Therefore, a serial cable should be connected between the serial port on a PC and the serial port on a
display.

Troubleshooting

1. The display you wish to control does not appear on the Power Control Info Grid

- Check the connection of RS232C. (Check if it is properly connected to the Com1 port)

- Check the displays to see if any of the other displays connected have the same ID. If more than one displays have
the same ID, those displays are not properly detected by the program due to data conflict.

- Check if the Display Set ID is a number between 0 and 25. (Adjust using the Display menu)

Note : A Display Set ID must be a value between 0 and 25 .

2. The display you wish to control does not appear on the other Control Info Grids

- Check to see if the display power is ON. (You can check this in Power Control Info Grid)

- Check if you can change the input source of the display.

3. The dialogue box appears repeatedly.

- Check to see if the display you wish to control is selected.

4. Both On Timer and Off Timer have been set but different time is showing.

- Apply current time to synchronize the display clocks.

5. The remote may not function properly when you turn off the remote Function, disconnect the RS-232C cable, or exit
the program in an Irregular manner. Rerun the program and turn the remote function again to Restore normal
functions.

<Note> This program may malfunction due to problems in communication circuits or interference from electronic

appliances nearby.

Information

For Better Display

Adjust the computer resolution and screen injection rate (refresh rate) on the
computer as described below to enjoy the best picture quality. You can have an
uneven picture quality on screen if the best picture quality is not provided for TFT­LCD.

• Resolution: 1920 X 1080

• Vertical frequency (refresh rate): 60 Hz

TFT-LCD panels manufactured by using advanced semiconductor technology
with a precision of 1ppm (one millionth) and above is used for this product. But the
pixels of RED, GREEN, BLUE and WHITE color seem to be bright sometimes or
some of black pixels could be seen. This is not from bad quality and you can use
it without any problems.

• For example, the number of TFT-LCD sub pixels contained in this product are

6,220,800.

When cleaning the monitor and the panel outside, please apply the recom­mended small amount of cleaner by using a soft cloth to polish. Rub softly when
cleaning the LCD area. If excessive force is applied, you may stain it.

If you are not satisfied with the picture quality, you can get better quality of
picture by performing the "Auto Adjustment function" in display screen that is ap­peared as window termination button is pressed. If there's still noise after the
automatic adjustment, use the Fine/Coarse adjustment function.

When viewing a fixed screen for an extended period of time, a residual image
or blurriness may appear. Change the mode to energy save or set a screensaver
to move the picture when you need to be away from the monitor for an extended
period of time.

PRODUCT INFORMATION (Image Retention Free)

LCD Monitors and TVs may have image retention when switching from one image to another
especially after displaying a stationary image for a long time.

This guide is to demonstrate correct usage of LCD products in order to protect them from
Image retention.

Warranty

Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention.

Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.

What is Image retention ?

During normal operation of a LCD panel, pixel image retention doesn't occur. How­ever, if the same image is displayed for a long time, a slight difference in electric
charge accumulates between the two electrodes which encase the liquid crystal.
This may cause the liquid crystal to build up in a certain areas of the display. Thus,
the previous image is retained when switching to a new video image. All display

Information

products, including LCD, are subject to image retention. This is not a product de­fect.

Please follow the suggestions below to protect your LCD from image retention.

Power Off, Screen Saver, or Power Save Mode

Ex)

• Turn the power off when using a stationary pattern.

• Turn the power off for 4 hours after 20 hours in use

• Turn the power off for 2 hours after 12 hours in use

• Use a Screen saver if possible

• Screen saver in one color or a moving image is recommended.

• Set the Monitor to power off with the PC Display Properties Power Scheme.

Suggestions for specific applications

Ex) Airports, Transit Stations, Stock Markets, Banks, and Controlling Systems We
recommend that you follow set up of your display system program as below:

Display Information together with Logo or Moving image cycle.

Ex) Cycle : Display Information for 1 hour followed by a Display Logo or moving
image for 1 minute.

Change the Color Information periodically (Use 2 different colors).

Ex) Rotate the Color Information with 2 colors every 30 minutes.

Avoid using a combination of characters and background color with large difference
in luminance.

Avoid using Grey colors, which can cause Image retention easily.

• Avoid: Colors with big difference in luminance (Black & White, Grey)

Ex)

• Recommended settings: Bright colors with little difference in luminance

• Change the characters color and background color every 30 minutes

Information

Ex)

• Every 30 minutes, change the characters with movement.

Ex)

The best way to protect your monitor from Image retention is to set your PC or

System to operate a Screen Saver program when you are not using it.

Image retention may not occur when a LCD panel is operated under normal con­ditions.

Normal conditions are defined as continuously changing video patterns. When the
LCD panel is operated for a long time with a fixed pattern (-over 12 hours-), there
may be slight difference in voltage between electrodes that work the liquid crystal
(LC) in a pixel. The voltage difference between electrodes increases with time,
forcing the liquid crystal to lean. When this occurs, the previous image may be seen
when the pattern is changed.

To prevent this, the accumulated voltage difference must be decreased.
