FOR YOUR SAFETY
Before operating the monitor, please read this manual thoroughly. This
manual should be retained for future reference.
FCC Class B Radio Frequency Interference Statement
WARNING: (FOR FCC CERTIFIED MODELS)
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for
a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in
a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate
radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off
and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
LAMP(S) INSIDE THIS PRODUCT CONTAIN MERCURY AND MUST BE
RECYCLED OR DISPOSED OF ACCORDING TO LOCAL, STATE OR
FEDERAL LAWS. FOR MORE INFORMATION, CONTACT THE
ELECTRONIC INDUSTRIES ALLIANCE AT WWW.EIAE.ORG. FOR LAMP
SPECIFIC DISPOSAL INFORMATION CHECK WWW.LAMPRECYCLE.ORG.
NOTICE:
1. The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the
equipment.
2. Shielded interface cables and AC power cord, if any, must be used in
order to comply with the emission limits.
3. The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference
caused by unauthorized modification to this equipment. It is the
responsibilities of the user to correct such interference.
WARNING:
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the monitor to rain or moisture.
Dangerously high voltages are present inside the monitor. Do not open the
cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
5
PRECAUTIONS
z Do not use the monitor near water, e.g. near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen
sink, laundry tub, swimming pool or in a wet basement.
z Do not place the monitor on an unstable cart, stand, or table. If the monitor
falls, it can injure a person and cause serious damage to the appliance.
Use only a cart 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.
z Slots 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.
z Do not install the monitor in a location near heat sources such as radiators
or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight, or excessive dust or
mechanical vibration or shock.
z The 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.
z The 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 ground the appliance safely.
Do not defeat the safety purpose of the grounded plug.
z Unplug the unit during a lightning storm or when it will not be used for long
period of time. This will protect the monitor from damage due to power
surges.
z Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result
in fire or electric shock.
z Never push any object into the slot on the monitor cabinet. It could short
circuit parts causing a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquids on the
monitor.
z Do not attempt to service the monitor by yourself. Opening or removing
covers can expose you to dangerous voltages and other hazards. Please
refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
z To ensure satisfactory operation, use the monitor only with UL listed
computers which have appropriate configured receptacles marked
between 100 - 240V AC, Min. 5A.
z The wall socket shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily
accessible.

GENERAL NOTES
SPECIAL NOTES ON LCD MONITORS
The following symptoms are normal with LCD monitor and do not indicate
a problem.
•
Due to the nature of the fluorescent light, the screen may flicker during
initial use. Turn off the Power Switch and then turn it on again to make
sure the flicker disappears.
•
•
You may find slightly uneven brightness on the screen depending on the
desktop pattern you use.
The LCD panel used in this monitor is a very high technology product with
3,932,160 thin film transistors giving you fine picture details. Occasionally,
a few non-active pixels may appear on the screen as a fixed point of red,
green, blue, white or black. Please note that this does not indicate a
defective panel.
•
•
Due to the nature of the LCD screen, an after-image of the previous
screen may remain after switching the image when the same image has
been displayed for a long time. The monitor will slowly recover from this.
LCD monitors have a fixed size & number of pixels. Due to this, an
interpolation is necessary to operate the monitor in a relution below it’s
native resolution which may slightly degrage the display quality. Therefore,
it is highly recommended to operate the monitor at it’s native resolution of
1600 x 1200 @ 60Hz.
OTHER NOTES
•
The screen surface is very soft. Do not rub, touch or tap the screen
surface with sharp object such as pen or pencil. This contact may scratch
or damage the screen. These damages are not covered under the
warranty.
•
•
•
•
Turn your computer OFF before installing your new monitor. Refer to your
computer manual for the proper shut down procedure.
Save the original shipping carton and packing materials, as they will come
in handy if you ever have to ship your monitor.
For maximum protection, repackage your monitor as it was originally
packed at the factory.
To keep the monitor looking new, periodically clean the case & surface of
the TFT-LCD panel with a soft non-fiberous cloth lightly dampened with a
glass cleaner. Do not use any paper products to clean the screen. Never
spay the glass cleaner directly on the monitor. Never use strong solvents
such as thinner, benzene, or abrasive cleaners, since these will damage
the case & panel. As a safety precaution, always unplug the monitor
before cleaning it.

GENERAL NOTES (cont.)
•
Plug & Play DDC1/2B Feature - This monitor is equipped with VESA
DDC1/2B capabilities according to the VESA DDC STANDARD. It allows
the monitor to inform the host system of its identity and, depending on the
level of DDC used, communicate additional information about its display
capabilities. The communication channel is defined 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 I²C protocol. The host can request
EDID information over the DDC2B channel.
•
This monitor will appear to be non-functional if there is not video input
signal. In order for this monitor to operate properly, there must be a video
input signal.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT (FAQ) (cont.)
CLOCK (pixel frequency) controls the number of pixels scanned by one
horizontal sweep. If the frequency is not correct, the screen shows vertical
stripes and the picture has not correct width.
FOCUS adjusts the phase of the pixel clock signal. With a wrong phase
adjustment the picture has horizontal disturbances in light picture.
For FOCUS and CLOCK adjustment use “dot-pattern” or win 95/98 shut-down
mode pattern.
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 connection pins for damage.
INPUT NOT SUPPORT :
Your computer has been set to unsuitable display mode. Set the computer
to a display mode given in the Preset Display Modes table.
