Warning on power connections

• Use the supplied power cord.

• Before disconnecting the power cord, wait at least 30 seconds after turning off the power to allow the static electricity 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 installed near an easily accessible outlet.

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 voltage power lines

• near or on an electrically charged metal surface

• in a dusty or smoky environment

• inside an enclosed rack

Protection

• Do not put foreign objects into the monitor.

• Disconnect the monitor if environment exceeds 60°C/140°F.

• Ensure AC power cord is not trapped under furniture, TV, etc.

• Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or convenience receptacles beyond their capacity.

• Never spill liquid of any kind on the monitor.

Notes on cleaning the screen’s surface

• The screen’s surface is covered with a thin anti-reflective coating to enhance the ergonomic characteristics of the monitor. To ensure that the coating is not damaged, use a soft cloth to clean the screen’s surface. If necessary, use a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution, such as hand soap, to wipe the screen.

• Do not use any type of abrasive pad, alkaline cleanser, scouring powder, or solvents such as alcohol or benzene as they might damage the anti-reflective coating.

• If you use a glass cleaning liquid, do not use any type 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 such as a ballpoint pen or screwdriver. This type of contact may result in a scratched picture tube.

Notes on cleaning the cabinet

• Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution.

Technical Features

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 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 (For A240R horizontal: 30 – 70 kHz, vertical: 48 – 120 Hz and for A440 horizontal: 30 – 96 kHz, vertical: 48 – 170 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.

Power saving function

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

STAR, and NUTEK. If no signal is received by the monitor from your

computer, the monitor will automatically reduce power consumption as shown below.

If thin lines appear on the screen

(damper wires)

These lines do not indicate a malfunction; they are a normal effect of the Trinitron picture tube with this monitor. 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.
