.Precautions
Warning on power connections
• Use the supplied power cord. If you use a different power cord, be sure that it is compatible with your local power supply.
For the customers in the U.S.A.
If you do not use the appropriate cord, this monitor will not conform to mandatory FCC standards.
For the customers in the UK
If you use the monitor in the UK, be sure to use the appropriate
UK power cord.
Example of plug types for 100 to 120 V AC for 200 to 240 V AC for 240 V AC only
The equipment should be installed near an easily accessible outlet.
Installation
Do not install or leave the monitor:
• In places subject to extreme temperatures, for example near a radiator, heating vent, or in direct sunlight. Subjecting the monitor to extreme temperatures, such as in an automobile parked in direct sunlight or near a heating vent, could cause deformations of the casing or malfunctions.
• In places subject to mechanical vibration or shock.
• Near any equipment that generates a strong magnetic field, such as a TV or various other household appliances.
• 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.
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 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 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.
Note on the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)
Please note that the LCD screen is made with high-precision technology. However, black points or bright points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear constantly on the LCD screen, and irregular colored stripes or brightness may appear on the LCD screen. This is not malfunction.
(Effective dots: more than 99.99%)
Maintenance
• Be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet before cleaning your monitor.
• Clean the LCD screen with a soft cloth. 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
LCD screen’s coating.
• 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.
• Note that material deterioration or LCD screen coating degradation may occur if the monitor is exposed to volatile solvents such as insecticide, or if prolonged contact is maintained with rubber or vinyl materials.
Transportation
• Disconnect all cables from the monitor, and grasp both side of the LCD display firmly taking care not to scratch the screen when transporting. 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.
Disposal of the monitor
• Do not dispose of this monitor with general household waste.
• The fluorescent tube used in this monitor contains mercury. Disposal of this monitor must be carried out in accordance to the regulations of your local sanitation authority.

Technical Features
Power saving function
This monitor meets the power-saving guidelines set by VESA,
E NERGY S TAR, and NUTEK. If the monitor is connected to a computer or video graphics board that is DPM (Display Power
Management) Standard compliant, the monitor will automatically reduce power consumption as shown below.
Reducing the power consumption

“Deep sleep” is a power saving mode defined by the Environmental
Protection Agency.
** The maximum power consumption is 2.0 W in 100-120 V AC areas.

Automatic picture quality adjustment function (analog RGB signal only)
When the monitor receives an input signal, it automatically adjusts the picture’s position and sharpness (phase/pitch), and ensures that a clear picture appears on the screen.
The factory preset mode
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 at the center of the screen. If the input signal matches the factory preset mode, the picture appears on the screen automatically with the appropriate default adjustments.
If input signals do not match one of the factory preset modes
When the monitor receives an input signal that does not match one of the factory preset modes, the automatic picture quality adjustment function of this monitor is activated to ensure that a clear picture always appears on the screen (within the following monitor frequency ranges):
Horizontal frequency: 28–92 kHz (analog RGB)
28–75 kHz (digital RGB)
Vertical frequency: 48–85 Hz (analog RGB)
60 Hz (digital RGB)
Consequently, the first time the monitor receives input signals that do not match one of the factory preset modes, the monitor may take a longer time than normal to display 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.
If you adjust the phase, pitch, and picture position manually
For some input signals, the automatic picture quality adjustment function of this monitor may not completely adjust the picture position, phase, and pitch. In this case, you can set these
adjustments manually (page 13). If you set these adjustments
manually, they are stored in memory as user modes and automatically recalled whenever the monitor receives the same input signals.

Troubleshooting
Before contacting technical support, refer to this section.
On-screen messages
If there is something wrong with the input signal, one of the following messages appears on the screen. To solve the problem,
see “Trouble symptoms and remedies” on page 20.
If “OUT OF RANGE” appears on the screen
This indicates that the input signal is not supported by the monitor’s specifications. Check the following items.
For more information about on-screen messages, see “Trouble
symptoms and remedies” on page 20.
If “xxx.x kHz / xxx Hz” is displayed
This indicates that either the horizontal or vertical frequency is not supported by the monitor’s specifications.
