PRECAUTIONS

zDo not use the monitor near water, e.g. near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming pool or in a wet basement.

zDo not place the monitor on an unstable trolley, stand, or table. If the monitor falls, it can injure a person and cause serious damage to the appliance. Use only a trolley or stand recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the monitor. If you mount the monitor on a wall or shelf, use a mounting kit approved by the manufacturer and follow the kit instructions.

zSlots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the monitor and to protect it from overheating, be sure these openings are not blocked or covered. Do not place the monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, or similar surface. Do not place the monitor near or over a radiator or heat register. Do not place the monitor in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.

zThe monitor should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the label. If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.

zThe monitor is equipped with a three-pronged grounded plug, a plug with a third (grounding) pin. This plug will fit only into a grounded power outlet as a safety feature. If your outlet does not accommodate the three-wire plug, have an electrician install the correct outlet, or use an adapter to ground the appliance safely. Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounded plug.

zUnplug the unit during a lightning storm or when it will not be used for long periods of time. This will protect the monitor from damage due to power surges.

PLUG AND PLAY

Plug & Play DDC1/2B Feature

This monitor is equipped with VESA DDC1/2B capabilities according to the VESA DDC STANDARD. This allows the monitor to inform the host system of its identity and, depending on the level of DDC used, to communicate additional information about its display capabilities. The communication channel is divided in two levels, DDC1 and DDC2B.

The DDC1 is a unidirectional data channel from the display to the host that continuously transmits EDID information. The DDC2B is a bidirectional data channel based on the I??C protocol. The host can request EDID information over the DDC2B channel.

THIS MONITOR WILLS NOT WORK IF THERE IS NO VIDEO INPUT

SIGNAL. IN ORDER FOR THIS MONITOR TO OPERATE PROPERLY,

THERE MUST BE A VIDEO INPUT SIGNAL.

This monitor meets the Green monitor standards as set by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) and/or the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and The Swedish Confederation Employees (NUTEK). This feature is designed to save electrical energy by reducing power consumption when there is no video-input signal present. When there is no video input signal this monitor, following a time-out period, will automatically switch to an OFF mode. This reduces the monitor's internal power supply consumption. After the video input signal is restored, full power is restored and the display is automatically redrawn. This is similar to a "Screen Saver" feature except the display is completely off. The display is restored by pressing a key on the keyboard, or clicking the mouse.

USING THE RIGHT POWER CORD:

The accessory power cord for the Northern American region is the wallet plug with NEMA 5-15 style and is UL listed and CSA labeled. The voltage rating for the power cord shall be 125 volts AC.

Supplied with units intended for connection to power outlet of personal computer: Please use a cord set consisting of a minimum No. 18 AWG, type SJT or SVT three conductors flexible cord. One end terminates with a grounding type attachment plug, rated 10A, 250V, CEE-22 male configuration. The other end terminates with a molded-on type connector body, rated 10A, 250V, having standard CEE-22 female configuration.

Please note that power supply cord needs to use VDE 0602, 0625, 0821 approval power cord in European counties.

ERROR MESSAGE & POSSIBLE SOLUTION

CABLE NOT CONNECTED:

1.Check that the signal-cable is properly connected, if the connector is loose, tighten the connector???s screws.

2.Check the signal-cable???s connection pins for damage.
