Safety Instructions

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

1

designation of the DC adapter corresponds to the local electrical supply.
Never insert anything metallic into the openings in the cabinet of the liquid cristal display

2

(LCD) monitor; doing so may create the danger of electric shock.
To avoid electric shock, never touch the inside of the LCD Monitor. Only a qualified

3

technician should open the case of the LCD Monitor.
Never use your LCD Monitor if the power cord has been damaged. Do not allow anything

4

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 LCD Monitor from an

5

electric socket.
Openings in the LCD Monitor cabinet are provided for ventilation. To prevent overheating,

6

these openings should not be blocked or covered. Also, avoid using the LCD 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 LCD Monitor in a bookcase or some other enclosed
space, be sure to provide adequate ventilation.

Put your LCD Monitor in a location with low humidity and a minimum of dust

7

Do not expose the LCD Monitor to rain or use it near water (in kitchens, near swimming

8

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

Place the LCD Monitor on a solid surface and treat it carefully. The screen is made of thin

9

glass with a plastic front surface and can be damaged if dropped, hit or scratched. Do not
clean the front panel with keton-type materials (e.g., acetone), ethyl alcohol, toluene, ethyl
acid, methyl, or chloride – these may damage the panel.

Locate your LCD Monitor near an easily accessible AC outlet.

10

If your LCD Monitor does not operate normally – in particular, if there are any unusual

11

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 LCD Monitor in direct sunlight, and

12

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

13

Unplug your LCD Monitor from the AC outlet before any service.

14

CAUTION

Getting Help

If your monitor does not display an image, check your cable connections and refer to
“Troubleshooting” on page 17. If you experience difficulties with the quality of the displayed
image, run auto adjustment again and refer to “Adjusting Your LCD Monitor” on page 10 or
“Troubleshooting” on page 17.

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 LCD Monitor.

Auto Adjustment

Even though your computer system can recognize your new LCD Monitor system, the auto
adjustment function will optimize the display settings for use with your computer. Auto
Adjustment can be accessed through the
On-Screen Menu, see “Image Lock:” on page 13 or use the direct access instructions below:

Self-Test Feature Check (STFC)

Your monitor provides a self test feature that allows you to check whether your monitor is
functioning properly. If your monitor and computer are properly connected but the monitor
screen remains dark and the power indicator is blinking, run the monitor self-test by
performing the following steps:

Turn off both your computer and the monitor.

1

Unplug the video cable from the back of the computer.

2

Turn on the monitor.

3

If the monitor is functioning properly, you will see a white box with a red border and black
text inside as shown in the following illustration:

No Connection

Check Signal Cable

Figure 5. 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

4

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.

Adjusting Your LCD Monitor

User Controls

Your LCD Monitor allows you to easily adjust the characteristics of the image being
displayed. All of these adjustments are made using the control buttons on the front of the
monitor. While you use these buttons to adjust the controls, an on-screen menu shows you
their numeric values as the change.

Adjusting Your LCD 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 5 user modes. It has ten factory preset or preload modes, one for
each signal frequency as listed in “Display Modes” on page 21

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

PowerSaver

This monitor has a built-in power management system called PowerSaver. This 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”, “Sleep”, and “Deep
Sleep”.

PowerSaver 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. See Table 2
