Safety Tips

1.

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

2.

Never insert anything metallic into the
monitor openings. Doing so may cre­ate the danger of electric shock.

3.

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

4.

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 where
people could trip over it.

Be sure to hold the plug, not the cord,

5.
when disconnecting the monitor from
an electric socket.

Openings in the monitor cabinet are

6.
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.

7.

Put your monitor in a location with low
humidity and a minimum of dust.
Avoid places like damp basements or
dusty hallways.

8.

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

9.

Place the monitor on a solid surface,
and treat it kindly. The screen is made
of glass and can be damaged if
dropped or sharply hit.

Locate your monitor near an easily

10.
accessible AC outlet.

11.

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.

12.

High temperatures can cause prob­lems. Don’t try to use your monitor in
direct sunlight, and keep it away from

However, you may wish to adjust the mon-

itor to your own preferred settings rather
than those preset at the factory. The moni­tor’s microprocessor saves your preferred

settings for your computer’s timing signal.

It automatically uses your settings each

time the monitor senses that timing signal.

If you change your video card or computer,

the monitor will use the appropriate set­tings for the new timing signal. The moni-

tor saves up to 11 user defined settings.

VCCI Information

PLUG AND PLAY

This equipment is in the 2nd Class catego-

ry ( information equipment to be used in a

residential area or an adjacent area there­to ) and conforms to the standards set by
the Voluntary Control Council For

Interference by Data Processing Equip-

ment and Electronic Office Machines
aimed at preventing radio interference in

such residential area. When used near a

radio or TV receiver, it may become the

cause of radio interference. Read the

instructions for correct handling.

Samsung’s adoption of the new Microsoft
Windows 95 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 hassels and confusion.
Your PC system can easily identify and

configure itself for use with your monitor.
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 and optimize
the monitor settings. If desired, the user

can select different settings, but in most

cases, monitor installation is automatic.
