Safety Instructions  
Before connecting the AC power cord to the DC adapter outlet, make sure the voltage  
1
designation of the DC adapter corresponds to the local electrical supply.  
Never insert anything metallic into the cabinet openings of the liquid crystal display (LCD)  
2
monitor; doing so may create the danger of electric shock.  
To avoid electric shock, never touch the inside of the LCD monitor. Only a qualified  
3
technician should open the case of the LCD monitor.  
Never use your LCD monitor if the power cord has been damaged. Do not allow anything to  
4
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 monitor from an  
5
electric socket.  
Openings in the LCD monitor cabinet are provided for ventilation. To prevent overheating,  
6
these openings should not be blocked or covered. Also, avoid using the LCD monitor 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 monitor in a bookcase or some other enclosed  
space, be sure to provide adequate ventilation.  
Put your LCD monitor in a location with low humidity and a minimum of dust.  
7
8
Do not expose the LCD monitor to rain or use it near water (in kitchens, near swimming  
pools, etc.). If the LCD monitor accidentally gets wet, unplug it and contact an authorized  
dealer immediately. You can clean the LCD monitor with a damp cloth when necessary, but  
be sure to unplug the LCD monitor first.  
Place the LCD monitor on a solid surface and treat it carefully. The screen is made of thin  
9
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 LCD monitor near an easily accessible AC outlet.  
10  
11  
If your LCD monitor 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 monitor in direct sunlight, and  
12  
keep it away from heaters, stoves, fireplaces, and other sources of heat.  
Unplug the LCD monitor when it is going to be left unused for an extended period of time.  
13  
Unplug your LCD monitor from the AC outlet before any service.  
14  
CAUTION  
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK  
DO NOT OPEN  
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER  
(OR BACK).  
NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.  
REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL.

Setting up Your LCD Monitor  
Plug and Play  
®
The 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 Data (EDID) 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, follow the instructions given below according to the operating system your  
computer uses.  
Installing the Video Driver  
The CD that accompanies this product contains the necessary drivers for installing your  
monitor. Please refer to the driver installation instructions included with your CD package for  
more information.  
Self-Test Feature Check (STFC)  
Your monitor provides a self-test feature that allows you to check whether your monitor is  
functioning properly. Make sure that PC is selected as a primary source by checking if the source  
indicator LED labeled PCis on. 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  
following the steps given below:

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 following 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 30. If you experience difficulties with the quality of the displayed  
image, push Auto Button (see page 9) and refer to "Adjusting Your LCD Monitor" on page 9 or  
"Troubleshooting" on page 30.  
Warm-up Time  
All LCD monitors need time to become thermally stable whenever you turn on the monitor  
after letting the monitor be turned off for a couple of hours. 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.

* According to our R&D Lab test result, "Channel auto program" usually takes around 3  
minutes to scan 61 channels. The scanning can be longer or shorter depending on the number  
of channels and the video source whether the video source is from cable or air.  
*Upon completion of "Channel auto program", the result of the channel search is stored in  
designated internal memory. Each found channel is indexed into that memory and the channel  
indices are used as a look up table. In other words, when a user changes the channel, the  
monitor refers to the look up table to find the appropriate channel freqency instead of  
performing physical frequency scanning which gives a lot slower tuning result. In rare cases,  
"Channel auto program" may miss a channel due to weak signals or for other reasons. To add  
a channel, please enter the channel number by using the numeric key pads on the remote  
controller, then use "Fine Tune" menu in the "TV Setup" menu from OSD. When you finish fine  
tunning the channel you want to add, select "Save".

Appendix  
V - Chip (US only)  
The Telecommunications Act of 1996 in USA requires that every television made, starting in  
1998, must be equipped with the technological device named V - Chip. The V - Chip can block  
certain rated television shows off television (if chosen) so children cannot watch programs  
that their parents do not approve. With this device, program-rating information will be  
transmitted along with the television signal, and be decoded by the chip in each television.  
The chip will then compare the rating codes to values preset by the viewer, which is meant to  
be the parents. If the rating codes are higher than the preset values, the television signal will  
be blocked, and a blank screen will be displayed.  
SyncMaster 151MP/171MP have this feature and you can adjust the V - Chip setting via OSD.  
Use arrow keys on the remote controller or control buttons on the front cabinet of the monitor  
to change the setting.  
1. Select V - Chip on OSD, then enter 4 digits of pin number.  
- Initial pin number is 0000”  
- If you enter an incorrect pin number Incorrectmessage will be displayed for 3 seconds.  
2. Use arrow keys to change or to activate the highlighted function.
