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.

for 200 to 240 V AC  
for 100 to 120 V AC  
• 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.

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.

Note for Windows users  
For Windows users, check your video board manual or the utility  
program which comes with your graphic board and select the  
highest available refresh rate to maximize monitor performance.

• Isolate and eliminate any potential sources of electric or magnetic fields such as other  
monitors, laser printers, electric fans, fluorescent lighting, or televisions.  
• Move the monitor away from power lines or place a magnetic shield near the monitor.  
• Try plugging the monitor into a different AC outlet, preferably on a different circuit.  
• Try turning the monitor 90° to the left or right.  
xProblems caused by the connected computer or other equipment  
• Check your graphics board manual for the proper monitor setting.  
• Confirm that the graphics mode (VESA, Macintosh 16" Color, etc.) and the frequency of  
the input signal are supported by this monitor (back cover). Even if the frequency is within  
the proper range, some video boards may have a sync pulse that is too narrow for the  
monitor to sync correctly.  
• Adjust the computer’s refresh rate (vertical frequency) to obtain the best possible picture.

• Adjust the brightness and contrast (page 9).  
• Degauss the monitor* (page 11).  
• Select MOIRE ADJUST and adjust the moire cancellation effect (page 11).

automatically degaussed for five seconds.  
* If a second degauss cycle is needed, allow a minimum interval of 20 minutes for the best result. A humming noise may be heard, but this is not a  
malfunction.
