Safety Information

Provided with this monitor is a detachable power supply cord
with IEC320 style terminations. It may be suitable for con­nection to any UL listed personal computer with similar con­figuration. Before making the connection, ensure that the
voltage rating of the computer convenience outlet is the same
as the monitor and that the ampere rating of the computer
convenience outlet is equal to or exceeds the monitor current
rating.

For 120V applications use only UL listed detachable power
cord with NEMA configuration 5-15P type (parallel blades)
plug cap.

For 240V applications use only UL listed detachable power
cord with NEMA configuration 6-15P type (tandem blades)
plug cap.

Troubleshooting

The monitor is switched ON, but the Power LED indicator is
not lit and there is no display on the screen.

Check all the power connections and make sure they are
secure. If the monitor is plugged into a surge protector, make
sure that the surge protector is switched on.

Why do I hear a “humming” sound when I first switch on the
monitor?

The sound you hear indicates that the degauss function is
activated. Every time the monitor is switched on, it will go
through the degaussing process which helps eliminate any
purity problems.

How do I change the resolution the monitor displays?

The frequency and resolution displayed on a monitor is con­trolled by the video card and operating system. The monitor
simply responds to the signal it receives from the video card
and is not able to change the resolution on its own. Most
video card manufacturers provide software drivers and utili­ties that allow you to use different resolutions for different
applications. Please consult your video card manual or
dealer for more information.

The monitor is “plug and play,” why do I still need to run the
graphics card utility to make adjustments on refresh rate in
different resolutions?

In order to fully utilize the plug and play feature, the com­puter must be equipped with a plug and play (DDC2B) video
card and running with a Plug and Play capable operating
system (i.e., Windows® 98) or a separate utility program that
enables the plug and play function automatically.

Troubleshooting

How do I change the frequency or refresh rate the monitor
uses?

The refresh rate is controlled by the video card. In your
“Display Properties,” press the “Advanced” button. Select the
Adapters tab. There should be a list of refresh rates.

Why do the characters in the corner of the screen look fuzzier
than the center?

One of the limitations of a CRT screen is that the focus is
impossible to be uniform across the entire area. In general, a
monitor is adjusted so that the focus is best in an area around
the center, in which case the overall focus is optimized. How­ever, the image in the corner should always be readable.

I see what appears to be a second image or “Ghost” on the
screen. How can I correct this?

The ghosting effect may be due to a reflection in the signal.
This usually occurs if an extension signal cable is installed or if
the signal cable is not fastened to the back of the video card.

I turned on both the monitor and computer, but there is still
no display on my monitor. How can I tell if the monitor is
defective?

The monitor has a self test screen to troubleshoot this kind
of problem. You can activate the self test screen by turning
off the monitor, detaching the signal cable from the computer
and then turning the monitor back on (with the signal cable
unattached). If you can see the self test screen, the monitor is
functioning properly.
