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 LCD monitor; doing  
so may create the danger of electric shock.  
To avoid electric shock, never touch the inside of the LCD. Only a qualified technician  
should open the case of the LCD.  
Never use your LCD 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 LCD from an electric socket.  
Openings in the LCD cabinet are provided for ventilation. To prevent overheating, these  
openings should not be blocked or covered. Also, avoid using the LCD 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 LCD in a bookcase or some other enclosed space, be sure to provide  
adequate ventilation.  
Put your LCD in a location with low humidity and a minimum of dust.

8
Do not expose the LCD to rain or use it near water (in kitchens, near swimming pools, etc.).  
If the LCD accidentally gets wet, unplug it and contact an authorized dealer immediately.  
You can clean the LCD with a damp cloth when necessary, but be sure to unplug the LCD  
first.  
Place the LCD 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.  
9
Locate your LCD near an easily accessible AC outlet.  
10  
11  
If your LCD 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 LCD in direct sunlight, and keep it  
away from heaters, stoves, fireplaces, and other sources of heat.  
Unplug the LCD when it is going to be left unused for an extended period of time.  
12

Unplug your LCD 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 LCD. 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  
(or CD) 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.  
Windows® 98  
®
Windows 98 will auto-detect your new monitor and start the “Add New Hardware  
1
Wizard” if the drivers are not already installed. Click the NEXT button to search for  
drivers.  
Check the diskette (or CD-ROM) drive box to install the drivers off the diskette (or CD)

provided with your LCD monitor and click NEXT.  
Confirm that Windows found the driver on the diskette (or CD) and click NEXT again  
to install the driver.  
To manually install or update the driver, follow the directions below:

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.

Setting up Your Monitor  
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  
Check Signal Cable  
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.  
Turn off your monitor and reconnect the video cable; then turn on both your computer  
4
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 LCD” on page 10 or  
“Troubleshooting” on page 20.  
Warm-up Time  
All LCD 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 LCD monitor  
to warm (be on) for at least 20 minutes before making any screen adjustments.

Adjusting Your LCD Monitor  
User Controls  
Your LCD 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 OSD shows you their numeric values as they  
change.

Adjusting Your LCD Monitor  
Automatic Save  
Whenever you open the OSD 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 OSD 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 OSD to time-out and disappear automatically  
Auto Adjustment  
Even though your computer system can recognize your new LCD monitor, the auto adjustment  
function will optimize the display settings for use with your computer.  
Follow these instructions to activate the automatic  
screen adjustments for your monitor.  
Auto Adjustment

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 OSD  
functions.

image.

*NOTE: Depending on the video adapter you are using, the lower limit of the control can not  
go down to Min. Number on OSD or go up to Max. Number on OSD. This is due to  
the video signal character istics due to the video graphics adapter, and it narrows  
the range of user adjustable parameter. When your LCD monitor detects this video  
signal and reaches the limit, it displays information message saying “Limit  
Reached” to inform you that the parameter can not be adjusted any further.

PowerSaver  
This monitor has a built-in power management system called PowerSaver. This system saves  
energy by switching your monitor into a low-power mode when it has not been used for a  
certain amount of time. The available modes are “On”, “Standby”, “Sleep”, and “Deep  
Sleep”.  
PowerSaver operates with a VESA DPMS compliant video card installed in your computer.  
You use a software utility installed on your computer to set up this feature. See Table 4  
below for details.
