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.

Example of plug types

for 100 to 120 V AC for 200 to 240 V AC for 240 V AC only

• Before disconnecting the power cord, wait at least 30 seconds

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 a few 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.

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 dot 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.

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.

• Clean the cabine t, pane l and co nt rols wi th a soft cloth ligh tly

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.

Transportation

When you transport this monitor for repair or shipment, use the original carton and packing materials.

Adjusting the color of the picture (COLOR)

The COLOR settings allow you to adjust the picture’s color temperature by changing th e color level of the white color field. Colors appear reddish if the temperature is low, and bluish if the temperature is high. This adjustment is useful for matching the monitor’s color to a printed picture’s colors. You can set the color temperatur e for each of the video input connectors.

Note

Your computer and other connected products (such as a printer), must be sRGB comp li ant.

Restoring the color from the EASY, PRESET, or sRGB modes (IMAGE RESTORATION)

The colors of most display monitors tend to gradually change brilliance over several years of service. The IMAGE RESTORATION feature found in the EASY, PRESET, and sRGB menus allows you to restore the color to the ori ginal factory quality levels. The expla nation below ex plains h ow to restore the monitor’s color from the EASY mode for example.

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. (See Appendix for a list of the factory preset modes.) For input signa ls tha t do no t ma tc h on e of the fac t o ry 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 rang e (horizontal: 30 – 130 kHz (CPDG520), 30 – 110 kHz (CPD-G420), ver tic al : 48 – 170 Hz). If the picture is adjusted, the ad justment data is stored as a user mode and automatically recalled whenever the same input signal is received.

Note for Windows users

For Windows users, check your graphics board manual or the utility program which comes with you r graphics bo ard and sele ct the highest available refresh rate to maximize monitor performance.

Power saving function

This monitor meets the power-saving guidelines set by VESA,

NERGY STAR, and NUTEK. If no signal is input to the monitor from your computer, the monitor will automatically reduce power consumption as shown below.

Troubleshooting

Before contacting technical support, refer to this section.

If thin lines appear on your screen (damper wires)

The visible lines on your screen especially when the background screen color is light (usually white), are normal for the Trinitron monitor. This is not a malfunction. These are shadows from the damper wires used to stabilize the aperture grille. The aperture grille is the essential element that makes a Trinitron picture tube unique by allowing more light to reach the screen, resulting in a brighter, more detailed picture.
