Before connecting the AC power cord to the DC adapter outlet, make sure the voltage designation of the DC adapter corresponds to the local electrical supply.

Never insert anything metallic into the openings in the cabinet of the flat panel display

(FPD) monitor; doing so may create the danger of electric shock.

To avoid electric shock, never touch the inside of the FPD. Only a qualified technician should open the case of the FPD.

Never use your FPD if the power cord has been damaged. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord, and keep the cord away from areas where people can trip over it.

Be sure to hold the plug, not the cord, when disconnecting the FPD from an electric socket.

Openings in the FPD cabinet are provided for ventilation. To prevent overheating, these openings should not be blocked or covered. Also, avoid using the FPD on a bed, sofa, rug, or other soft surface. Doing so may block the ventilation openings in the bottom of the cabinet. If you put the FPD in a bookcase or some other enclosed space, be sure to provide adequate ventilation.

Put your FPD in a location with low humidity and a minimum of dust.

Do not expose the FPD to rain or use it near water (in kitchens, near swimming pools, etc.).

If the FPD accidentally gets wet, unplug it and contact an authorized dealer immediately.

You can clean the FPD with a damp cloth when necessary, but be sure to unplug the FPD first.

Place the FPD on a solid surface and treat it carefully. The screen is made of thin glass with a plastic front surface and can be damaged if dropped, hit or scratched. Do not clean the front panel with keton-type materials (e.g., acetone), ethyl alcohol, toluene, ethyl acid, methyl, or chloride – these may damage the panel.

Locate your FPD near an easily accessible AC outlet.

If your FPD does not operate normally – in particular, if there are any unusual sounds or smells coming from it – unplug it immediately and contact an authorized dealer or service center.

High temperature can cause problems. Don’t use your FPD in direct sunlight, and keep it away from heaters, stoves, fireplaces, and other sources of heat.

Unplug the FPD when it is going to be left unused for an extended period of time.

Unplug your FPD from the AC outlet before any service.

Plug and Play

Our adoption of the new VESA

®

Plug and Play solution eliminates complicated and time consuming setup. It allows you to install your monitor in a Plug and Play compatible system without the usual hassles and confusion. Your PC system can easily identify and configure itself for use with your display. This monitor automatically tells the PC system its Extended

Display Identification (EDID) data using Display Data Channel (DDC) protocols so the PC system can automatically configure itself to use the flat panel display. If your PC system needs a video driver, following the instructions given below according to the operating system your computer uses.

Installing the Video Driver

When prompted by the operating system for the monitor driver, insert the Driver diskette included with this monitor. Driver installation is slightly different from one operating system to another. Follow the directions as appropriate for the operating system you have.

Self-Test Feature Check (STFC)

Your monitor provides a self test feature that allows you to check whether your monitor is functioning properly. If your monitor and computer are properly connected but the monitor screen remains dark and the power indicator is blinking, run the monitor self-test by performing the following steps:

Turn off both your computer and the monitor.

Unplug the video cable from the back of the computer.

Turn on the monitor.

8



If the monitor is functioning properly, you will see a white box with a red border and black text inside as shown in the following illustration:

No Connection

C h e c k S i g n a l C a b l e

Figure 5. Monitor self test screen

The three boxes inside the border are red, green and blue. Failure of any of the boxes to appear indicates a problem with your monitor. This box also appears during normal operation if the video cable becomes disconnected or damaged.

4 Turn off your monitor and reconnect the video cable; then turn on both your computer and the monitor.

If your monitor screen remains blank after using the previous procedure, check your video controller and computer system; your monitor is functioning properly.

Getting Help

If your monitor does not display an image, check your cable connections and refer to

“Troubleshooting” on page 20. If you experience difficulties with the quality of the displayed image, run Auto Adjustment (see page 11) and refer to “Adjusting Your FPD” on page 10 or

“Troubleshooting” on page 20.

Warm-up Time

All FPD monitors need time to become thermally stable the first time you turn them on each day. Therefore, to achieve more accurate adjustments for parameters, allow the FPD monitor to warm (be on) for at least 20 minutes before making any screen adjustments.

9


Adjusting Your FPD

User Controls

Your flat panel display allows you to easily adjust the characteristics of the image being displayed. All of these adjustments are made using the control buttons on the front of the monitor. While you use these buttons to adjust the controls, an on-screen menu shows you their numeric values as they change.

Automatic Save

Whenever you open the on-screen menu and allow an adjustment window to remain active for about 3 seconds without pressing another button, the monitor automatically saves any adjustments you have made. These changes are saved into a user area in the monitor. User areas are reserved according to the signal frequency from your computer. The monitor can save adjustments for up to 5 user modes. It has 12 factory preset or preload modes, one for each signal frequency as listed in "Display Modes" on page 26.

If you have made no adjustments, the on-screen menu disappears and the monitor does not save anything. To exit without saving the changes you have made, press the EXIT button before the 3 seconds elapse.

Direct-Access Features

The features described in this section can be accessed quickly, at the touch of one button.

Once you finish making adjustments to a feature, push the EXIT button to turn off the menu or allow the OSM to time-out and disappear automatically

Auto Adjustment

Even though your computer system can recognize your new FPD monitor, the auto adjustment function will optimize the display settings for use with your computer.

Auto Adjustment

Follow these instructions to activate the automatic screen adjustments for your monitor.

Push the AUTO button. The automatic adjustment display appears and the slidebar moves to indicate progress during the auto adjustment procedure.

NOTE: 1. For Auto Adjustment to function correctly, the monitor must display a full screen, colored image such as the Windows desktop.

2. Even though Auto Adjustment sets most image adjustments automatically, distortions may remain depending on the video board performance. After using

Auto Adjustment, we recommend that you perfect the image by using the OSM functions.
