Hinweise
• Aus ergonomischen Gründen wird empfohlen, die
Grundfarbe Blau nicht auf dunklem Untergrund zu
verwenden (schlechte Erkennbarkeit, Augenbelastung bei zu
geringem Zeichenkontrast).
• Aus ergonomischen Gründen (flimmern) sollten nur
Darstellungen bei Vertikalfrequenzen ab 70 Hz (ohne
Zeilensprung) verwendet werden.
• Die Konvergenz des Bildes kann sich auf Grund des
Magnetfeldes am Ort der Aufstellung aus der korrekten
Grundeinstellung verändern. Zur Korrektur empfiehlt es sich
deshalb, die Regler an der Frontseite für Konvergenz so
einzustellen, daß die getrennt sichtbaren Farblinien für Rot,
Grün und Blau bei z.B. der Darstellung eines Buchstabens zur
Deckung (Konvergenz) gelangen.
Siehe hierzu auch die Erklärungen zu Konvergenz.

Precautions
Installation
• Prevent internal heat build-up by allowing adequate air
circulation. Do not place the monitor on surfaces (rugs,
blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies) that
may block the ventilation holes.
• Do not install the monitor near heat sources such as
radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct
sunlight, excessive dust, mechanical vibration or shock.
• Do not place the monitor near equipment which generates
magnetism, such as a transformer or high voltage power
lines.
Handling the LCD screen
• Bright points of light (red, blue or green) may appear
on the LCD screen. This is not a malfunction. The LCD
screen is made with high-precision technology and
more than 99.99 % of the picture element is intact.
However, some of the picture element may not
appear or some of the picture element may appear
constantly.
• Do not leave the LCD screen facing the sun as it can
damage the LCD screen. Take care when you place the
monitor by a window.
• Do not push or scratch the LCD screen. Do not place a
heavy object on the LCD screen. This may cause the
screen to lose uniformity.
• If the monitor is used in a cold place, a residual image
may appear on the screen. This is not a malfunction.
When the monitor becomes warm, the screen returns to
normal.
• If a still picture is displayed for a long time, a residual
image may appear. The residual image will eventually
disappear.
• The screen and the cabinet become warm during
operation. This is not a malfunction.
Maintenance
• Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth
lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not
use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent,
such as alcohol or benzine.
• Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen with
sharp or abrasive items such as a ballpoint pen or
screwdriver. This type of contact may result in a scratched
picture tube.
• Clean the screen with a soft cloth. If you use a glass
cleaning liquid, do not use any type of cleaner
containing an antistatic solution or similar additive as this
may scratch the screen’s coating.
Transportation
• When you transport this monitor, grip the bottom of the
screen firmly with both hands. If you drop the monitor,
you may be injured or the monitor may be damaged.
• When you transport this monitor for repair or shipment,
use the original carton and packing materials.
Warning on power connection
• Use an appropriate power cord for your local power
supply.

required. Please consult your dealer for advice on which
adapter is suitable for your needs. This monitor also can
receive the RGB signals of the PAL and NTSC systems.
Step 1: Connect the monitor to the
computer
With the computer switched off, connect the video signal
cable to the monitor using the supplied HD15 video signal
cable.
• If you are using an IBM PC/AT or compatible computer,
