Use of the tilt-swivel
Precautions
This monitor can be adjusted within the angles shown below. To
find the center of the monitor’s turning radius, align the center of
the monitor’s screen with the centering dots on the stand.
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.
Hold the monitor at the bottom with both hands when you turn it
horizontally or vertically. Be careful not to pinch your fingers at
the back of the monitor when you tilt the monitor up vertically.
If you do not use the appropriate cord, this monitor will not
conform to mandatory FCC standards.

• Before disconnecting the power cord, wait at least 30 seconds
after turning off the power to allow the static electricity on the
screen’s surface to discharge.
Centering dots
• After the power is turned on, the screen is demagnetized
(degaussed) for about 5 seconds. This generates a strong
magnetic field around the screen which may affect data stored
on magnetic tapes and disks placed near the monitor. Be sure to
keep magnetic recording equipment, tapes, and disks away
from the monitor.
The equipment should be installed near an easily accessible
outlet.
Installation
Do not install the monitor in the following places:
• on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains,
draperies, etc.) that may block the ventilation holes
• near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place
subject to direct sunlight
• in a place subject to severe temperature changes
• in a place subject to mechanical vibration or shock
• on an unstable surface
• near equipment which generates magnetism, such as a
transformer or high voltage power lines
• near or on an electrically charged metal surface
Maintenance
• Clean the 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 screen’s
coating.
• 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.
• 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
benzene.
Transportation
When you transport this monitor for repair or shipment, use the
original carton and packing materials.

Technical Features
Troubleshooting
Before contacting technical support, refer to this section.
Preset and user modes
If thin lines appear on your screen
(damper wires)
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. (See Appendix for a list of the factory preset modes.)
For input signals that do not match one of the factory preset modes,
the digital Multiscan technology of this monitor ensures that a
clear picture appears on the screen for any timing in the monitor’s
frequency range (horizontal: 30 – 85 kHz, vertical: 48 – 120 Hz).
If the picture is adjusted, the adjustment data is stored as a user
mode and automatically recalled whenever the same input signal
is received.
The lines you are experiencing on your screen are normal for the
Trinitron monitor and are not a malfunction. These are shadows
from the damper wires used to stabilize the aperture grille and are
most noticeable when the screen’s background is light (usually
white). The aperture grille is the essential element that makes a
Trinitron picture tube unique by allowing more light to reach the
screen, resulting in a brighter, more detailed picture.
Damper wires
