Safety Instructions

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

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

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

open the monitor’s case. Never use your monitor 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 monitor from an electric socket.

Openings in the monitor cabinet are provided for ventilation. To 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.

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

Do not expose the monitor to rain or use it near water (In kitchens, near 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 surface and treat it carefully. The screen is made of glass and can

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

If your monitor 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 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 extended period of time.

Unplug your monitor from the AC outlet before any service.

Connecting Your Monitor

Figure 1. Cable connections

Turn off your computer and unplug its power cord.

Connect the signal cable to the D-SUB or BNC signal port on the back of your monitor.

If you are using an IBM-compatible computer, skip to step 5. If you are using a

Macintosh computer, connect the other end of the signal cable to a Macintosh adapter.

Follow the instructions included with your adapter to set the pins on your adapter, if

necessary. Connect the signal cable (with an adapter, if necessary) to the video port on the back

of your computer. This port might be directly attached to your computer, or it might be part of a video adapter, video card, or graphics card.

Connect the power cord for your monitor to the power port on the back of the monitor.

Plug the power cords of your computer and your monitor into a nearby outlet.

Turn on your computer and monitor. If your monitor displays an image, installation is

complete.

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

“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

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:

Figure 2. 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 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.
