Installation

Do not install or leave the monitor:

• In places subject to extreme temperature s , for example near a

radiator, heating ve nt, or in direct sunlight. Su bje c tin g the monitor to extreme temperatures, such as in an automobile parked in direct sunlight or near a heating vent, could caus e deformations of the casing or malfunctions.

• In places subject to mechanical vi bration or shock.

• Near any equipment that generates a stron g magnetic field,

• In places subject to inordinate amounts of dust, dirt, or sand, for

example near an open window or an outdoor exit. If setting up temporarily in an outdoor envi ron me n t, be sure to take adequate precautions against airborne dust and dirt. Otherwise irreparable malfunctions could occur.

Handling the LCD screen

• 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 on or scratch the LCD screen. Do not place a heavy

object on the LCD screen. This may cause the screen to lose uniformity or cause LCD panel malfunctions.

• If the monitor is used in a cold place, a residual im age may

appear on the screen. This is not a malfunction. The screen returns to normal as the temperature rises to a normal operating level.

• If a still picture is displayed for a long time, a residual image

may appear for a while. The residual image will eventually disappear.

• The LCD panel becomes warm during operation. This is not a

malfunction.

Technical Features

Power saving function

This monitor meets the power-saving g uide lin es set by VESA, NUTEK, and ENERGY STAR. If the monitor is connected to a computer or graphics boa rd tha t is DPMS (Display Power Mana gem e nt Sig nalin g ) com p liant, the monitor will au tom a tica lly e nt er th e po wer saving mode.

Power consumption state Power consumption AC power indicator 1 (po wer) indicato r

normal operation power saving mode 1 (power): off AC power: off 0 W off off

W green green

W orange orange

≤ 3

Wred off

≤ 3

DPMS defines three power saving states according to the state of the sync signals supplied from the computer. This monitor’s power consumption is input at approximately 3 W in all of these states if the power saving function is set to ON. When your computer enters in the power saving mode, the input signal is cut and NO INPUT SIGNAL appears on the screen. After a few seconds, the monitor enters power saving mode.

Pow er saving state

suspend (sleep)* horizontal: on / vertical: off standby (sleep)* horizontal: off / vertical: on active off (deep sleep)* horizontal: off / vertical: off

* “Sle ep ” a nd “deep sleep” are power savi ng modes defined by the

Environmental Protec t ion Agency.

Note

The power saving function may not work normally if sync signals other than those listed above are supplied. In such a case, set the power saving function to OFF.

Automatic picture quality adjustment function

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 qual ity picture at the cent er of the screen. (See Appendix for a list of the factor y preset modes.) For input signals that do not matc h one of the factory prese t modes, the automatic picture quality adjustment function of this monitor automatically adjusts the phase, pitch, and picture position, and ensures that a clear picture appears on the screen for any timing within the monitor’s freq uency range (ho rizontal: 30 – 61 kHz, vertical: 48 – 85 Hz). Consequently, the first time the monitor receives input signals that do not match on e of the factory preset modes, the monitor may take a longer time than normal for displaying the picture on the screen. This adjustment data is automatically stored in memory so that next time, the monitor will function in the same way as when the monitor receives the signals that match one of the factory preset modes. In all modes, if the picture is adjusted, the adjustment data is stored as a user mode and automati cally recalled whenever the same input signal is received.

Note

While the automatic picture quality adjustment function is activated, only the power switch, and INPUT button will operate.

Sync signal state

Note on the adjusting the phase

If the automatic picture quality adjustment function is activated, the picture moves slightly whe n e ver the monitor receive s the input signal, regardless of the stored adjust m en t.
