Setting up the monitor
Read all instructions before using the monitor and save them for later use.
Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.
To set up the monitor:
■
■
Attach the base
Connect the video and power cables
To attach the base:
1 Carefully set the monitor on its side.
2 Hold the base with the tab facing the back of the monitor and align the hooks on the base with the corresponding slots on the bottom of the monitor.
3 Slide the base toward the front of the monitor so all hooks are securely in place. A retaining latch built into the base clicks into place when the base is correctly attached.
4 Carefully set the monitor upright and place it on a sturdy, level surface.
To connect the video and power cables:
1 Position the monitor and your computer so you can easily get at the back panel of each. Make sure that all power cables can reach a correctly grounded electrical outlet.
2 Connect the video cable to the matching (blue) video port on the back of your computer.
3 Tighten the screws on the video cable connector to keep it from coming loose. Tightening the screws also prevents radio and TV interference.

Do not use this product near water or a heat source such as a radiator.
Set up the system on a stable work surface.
The product should only be operated from the type of power source indicated on the rating label.
If your product has a voltage selector switch, make sure that the switch is in the proper position for your area. The voltage selector switch is set at the factory to the correct voltage.
Openings in the monitor case are provided for ventilation. Do not block or cover these openings. Make sure you provide adequate space, at least 6 inches (15 cm), around the system for ventilation when you set up your work area. Never insert objects of any kind into the monitor ventilation openings.
Some products are equipped with a three-wire power cord to make sure that the product is properly grounded when in use. The plug on this cord will only fit into a grounding-type outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into an outlet, contact an electrician to install the appropriate outlet.
If you use an extension cord with this system, make sure that the total ampere rating on the products plugged into the extension cord does not exceed the extension cord ampere rating.
If your system is fitted with a TV Tuner, cable, or satellite receiver card, make sure that the antenna or cable system is electrically grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and buildup of static charges.
