The LCD Monitor

Your New LCD Monitor

Your LCD Monitor has been designed to be versatile, ergonomic and user-friendly. The LCD Monitor is capable of displaying most standards, from 640x400 VGA to 1280x1024 SXGA. The digital controls located on the front panel allow the user to easily adjust the Monitor’s display parameters, and the LCD Monitor’s small footprint gives you more room in your workspace for other peripherals. Lightweight and compact, the LCD Monitor is the perfect solution for users on the go. You can use the LCD Monitor for everything from making business presentations to playing computer games. The Monitor also has a wall-mountable stand for added convenience.

The architecture of the LCD Monitor incorporates an LCD panel that produces a clear display with low radiation emission. And with its low power consumption, the LCD Monitor helps you reduce your power bill.

Unpacking

Before unpacking your LCD Monitor, prepare a suitable workspace for your LCD Monitor and computer. Look for a stable, level and clean surface near a wall outlet. Even though the LCD Monitor uses very little power, you should put it in a location which allows sufficient airflow to ensure that the LCD Monitor and your computer do not overheat. Set up your LCD Monitor so that the panel is not facing a window where sunlight often comes in. The glare caused by sunlight reflecting off of the LCD Monitor’s screen will make it difficult to use the Monitor for viewing.

Note: Using a computer for an extended period of time with a poor workstation set-up and incorrect working habits can cause health problems. The science of ergonomics studies the relationship between health and a suitable working environment. There is a section on ergonomics at the end of this chapter. For more information on ergonomics, contact your nearest computer bookstore, or local library. The Internet also has information on this and other subjects.

2 Rev.1

After unpacking your LCD monitor, make sure the following items are included in the box and are in good condition:

• LCD monitor

• Power Cord

• Monitor-To-PC Analog signal cable 15pin

• 1.5M stereo Jack Audio Cable

• User’s manual

If you find that any item to be missing or appear to be damaged, contact your dealer immediately. Do not throw away the packing material or shipping carton in case you need to ship or store the LCD monitor in the future.

Appendix C

Troubleshooting

This LCD monitor comes pre-adjusted with standard VGA timing. Due to output timing differences among various VGA cards, you may initially experience an unstable or unclear display when a new display mode or new VGA card is selected.

Before applying any of the following troubleshooting procedures, you should first apply the Auto Adjust option in the OSD menu.

PROBLEM: Display is unclear and unstable

To stabilize and clarify your display, open the OSD and adjust the clock and phase to obtain a clear display

PROBLEM: There is no LCD display

If there is no display on the LCD, refer to the following:

1. Make sure that the power indicator on the LCD monitor is lit, that all connections are secure, and that the system is running on the correct timing. Refer to Appendix B for information on timing.

2. Turn off the LCD monitor and then turn it back on again. Press the OSD Menu button (refer to Chapter 2) once and then press one of the Adjustment Control buttons several times. If there is still no display, press the other Adjustment Control button several times.

3. If step 2 does not work, connect your PC system to another external CRT. If your PC system functions properly with a CRT monitor but it does not function with the LCD monitor, and the LCD monitor’s power LED is blinking, the output timing of the PC’s VGA card may be out of the LCD’s synchronous range. Change to one of the alternate modes listed in Appendix B, or replace the VGA card and repeat steps 1 and 2.

If the power LED is not lit, check that the AC power connector is securely connected, and verify that the AC adapter LED is lit. If the AC adapter LED is not lit, please contact your dealer for assistance.
