Installation

Do not install or leave the display:

■ In places subject to extreme temperatures, for

example near a radiator, heating vent, or in
direct sunlight. Subjecting the display to high
temperatures, such as in an automobile
parked in direct sunlight, could cause
deformations of the casing or malfunctions.

■ In places where the display may tip and fall,

such as locations subject to any vibration or
shock or an unstable surface.

■ Near any equipment that generates a strong

magnetic field, such as a TV or various other
household appliances.

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 display 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 display is used in a cold place, a residual

image 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

easily accessible outlet.

■ 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 environment, be
sure to take adequate precautions against
airborne dust and dirt. Otherwise irreparable
malfunctions could occur.

■ In places where the display may come in

contact with extreme moisture or liquid, such
as in bathroom or area near pool. Avoid
placing glasses or cups on top of the display
that may cause liquid to spill inside.

residual image may appear for a while. The

with a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild
detergent solution, then dry off with a soft
cloth. Do not use any type of abrasive pad,
scouring powder, or solvent, such as alcohol or

Replacing the remote card battery

1 To replace the worn battery with a new

one, remove the battery compartment
from the remote card by pressing the
lock latch to the right, then pull out the
compartment.

2 Be sure that the positive terminal (+) of

the CR2025 lithium battery is facing
upward.

✍

not try to bend it, drop it or get it wet. Avoid
placing it near a heater, in direct sunlight, or
where humidity is high.

Caution: Keep the batteries away from the

reach of young children. Batteries may pose
a potential health hazard if put in their
mouth (i.e., they may swallow it or choke on
it).

zHandle the remote card with care. Do

3 Close the battery compartment to with a

gentle push until you hear the click.

The worn battery should be disposed
properly. Check with your local regulations.

Setup 2

Turn off the display and computer before connecting. Do not touch the pins of the video signal cable connector as this might bend the pins.

Connecting your display to your computer

1 Remove the back panel by holding top

with one hand as in the illustration then
snap out the buttons located at each
corner.

2 Remove the cable cover by lightly pulling

top concave portion.

■ Connecting to an IBM PC/AT or compatible

computer

Using the HD15/D-sub cable (supplied),
connect the computer to the display’s HD15
input connector.

Connecting a MacintoshConnecting to an IBM PC/AT

Be sure to check the alignment of the HD15/
D-sub cable. Do not force the connector in
the wrong way or the pins might bend.

- 10 -

■ Connecting a Macintosh

When connecting a Macintosh computer,
use an adapter (not supplied) if necessary.
Connect the adapter to the computer before
connecting the video signal cable.

Setup 3

Connecting the audio cord

Connect the supplied audio cord to the display’s
PC audio input jack. The audio cord connector
and the audio input jack are color coded. Match
like colors to connect.

Using the display’s speakers or headphones, you
can listen to sound from your computer or other
audio equipment connected to the display’s
audio input jacks.

VIDEOR L

S VIDEO

Connecting video cables

You can connect composite video cables, S-Video cable, and also Y/Pb/Pr Component Video cables for your video needs.

■ Connecting with composite video cables

Composite video sends combined signal of color shade
(chrominance) and brightness (luminance) through a
single cable. For this connection use the traditional A/V
cable. (Combined audio L/R and video cable)

■ Connecting with S-Video cables

If your equipment has an S-Video output, use this
connection for better picture quality than the
composite video connection. You will need to connect
audio cables (audio L/R) for the sound (S-Video carries
only the video signal).

■ Connecting with Y/Pb/Pr Component Video cables

If your equipment has a Y/Pb/Pr Component Video
output, use this connection for the highest quality
color picture. Y/Pb/Pr Component Video sends signals
of two color shades (chrominance) and brightness
(luminance) separately. Y/Pb/Pr Component Video
cables are usually marked with Y, Pb and Pr. In addition
to the Y/Pb/Pr Component Video, you will also need to
connect an audio L/R cable for sound.
