Warning on power connections
• Use the supplied power cord. If you use a different power cord,
be sure that it is compatible with your local power supply.
For the customers in the U.S.A.
If you do not use the appropriate cord, this monitor will not
conform to mandatory FCC standards.
Example of plug types
Use of the tilt-swivel
This monitor can be adjusted within the angles shown below. To
find the center of the mon itor’ s turnin g radius, a lign the ce nter of
the monitor’s screen with the centering dots on the stand.
Hold the monitor at the bott om with bo th ha nd s whe n yo u tu rn it
horizontally or vertically. Be careful not to pinch your fingers at
the back of the monitor when you tilt the monitor up vertically.
for 100 to 120 V AC
• Before disconnecting the power cord, wait at least 30 se conds
after turning off the power to allow the static elec tricity on the
screen’s surface to discharge.
• After the power is turned on, the screen is demagnetized
(degaussed) for about 5 seconds. This generates a strong
magnetic field around the screen which may affect data stored
on magnetic tapes and disks placed near the monitor. Be sure to
keep magnetic recording equipment, tapes, and disks away
from the monitor.
The equipment should be in stalled near an easily accessible
outlet.
for 200 to 240 V AC
Installation
Do not install the monitor in the following places:
• on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains,
draperies, etc.) that may block the ventilation holes
• near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place
subject to direct sunlight
• in a place subject to severe temperature changes
• in a place subject to mechanical vibration or shock
• on an unstable surface
• near equipment which generates magnetism, such as a
transformer or high volta g e po w er lines
• near or on an electrically charged metal surface
Maintenance
• Clean the screen with a soft cloth. If you use a glass cleaning
liquid, do not use any t ype of cleaner containing an anti-static
solution or similar additive as this may scratch the screen’s
coating.
• Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen with sharp or
abrasive items su ch as a ballpoint pe n or screwdrive r. This type
of contact may result in a scratched pict ure tube.
• Clea n the cabine t, pa nel an d controls with a soft cloth lightly
moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type
of abrasive pa d, sc ouring powder or solv ent, s uch as a lcohol o r
benzene.

Preset and user modes
When the monitor receives an input signal, it automatically
matches the signal to one of the factory preset modes stored in the
monitor’s memory to provide a high quality picture at the center of
the screen.
For input signals that do not match one of the factory preset modes,
the digital Multiscan technology of this monitor ensures that a
clear picture appears on the screen for any timing in the monitor’s
frequency range (horizontal: 30 – 85 kHz, vertical: 48 – 120 Hz).
If the picture is adjusted, the adjustment data is stored as a user
mode and automatically recalled whenever the same input signal
is received.
Note for Windows users
For Windows users, ch eck you r vide o b oard m anual or th e uti lity
program which co m es with your graphic board and select the
highest available refresh rate to maximize monitor performance.
(See Appendix for a list of the factory preset modes.)
Troubleshooting
Before contacting technical support, refer to this section.
If thin lines appear on your screen (damper wires)
The lines you are experiencing on your screen are normal for the
Trinitron monitor and are not a malfunction. Th ese are shad ows
from the damper wires used to stabilize the aperture gri lle and are
most noticeable when the s creen’s background is light (usually
white). The aperture grille is the essential element that makes a
Trinitron picture tub e un ique by allowing more lig ht to reach the
screen, resulting in a brighter, more detailed picture.
