Safety Instructions

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

1

tion of the DC adapter corresponds to the local electrical supply.
Never insert anything metallic into the monitor openings. Doing so may create the danger of

2

electric shock.
To avoid electric shock, never touch the inside of the monitor. Only a qualified technician should

3

open the monitor’s case.
Never use your monitor if the power cord has been damaged. Do not allow anything to rest on

4

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 monitor from an electric socket.

5

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

6

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.

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

7

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

8

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 surface and treat it carefully. The screen is made of glass and can

9

be damaged if dropped or hit sharply.
Locate your monitor near an easily accessible AC outlet.

10

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

11

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

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

12

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

13

Unplug your monitor from the AC outlet before any service.

Setting up Your Monitor

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.

Windows® 2000 and Windows® 98

Windows® 2000 and Windows® 98 will auto-detect your new monitor and start the

1

“Add New Hardware Wizard” if the drivers are not already installed. Click the
button to search for drivers.

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

2

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

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 23.

Warm-up Time

All 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 monitor to warm
(be on) for at least 30 minutes before making any screen adjustments.

Adjusting Your Monitor

Automatic Save

Whenever you open the on-screen menu and allow an adjustment window to remain active
for about 3 seconds without pressing another button, the monitor automatically saves any
adjustments you have made. These changes are saved into a user area in the monitor. User
areas are reserved according to the signal frequency from your computer. The monitor can
save adjustments for up to 10 user modes. It has 8 factory preset or preload modes, one for
each signal frequency as listed in Display Modes on page 26.

If you have made no adjustments, the on-screen menu disappears and the monitor does not
save anything. To exit without saving the changes you have made, press the
button before the 3 seconds elapse.

PowerSaver

This monitor has a built-in power management system called PowerSaver. This power
management system saves energy by switching your monitor into a low-power mode when it
has not been used for a certain amount of time. The available modes are “On,” “Standby,”
“Suspend,” and “Off”.

This power management system 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.
