Chapter 1: Using Your EV730 Monitor
Setting up the monitor
Setting up the monitor consists of two procedures: attaching the base and
connecting the monitor cables. If you are setting up your computer for the first
time, see the setup poster for more information about connecting additional
peripheral devices.
To attach the base:
1 Carefully set the monitor on its side with the bottom of the monitor facing
you.
2 Hold the base so the rounded end is pointing toward the back of the
monitor, then align the hooks on the bottom of the base with the
corresponding slots on the bottom of the monitor.
Retaining latch
3 Slide the base toward the front of the monitor so all hooks are securely in
place. The retaining latch clicks into place when the base is attached
correctly.
4 Carefully set the monitor upright and place it on a sturdy, level surface.
2
Setting up the monitor
To connect the power and video cables:
1 Position the monitor and your computer so you can easily get at the back
panel of each. Make sure that all power cables can reach a correctly
grounded electrical outlet.
2 Connect the video cable to the matching (blue) video port on the back of
your computer.
3 Tighten the screws on the video cable connectors to keep them from
coming loose. Tightening the screws also prevents radio and TV
interference.
3
Chapter 1: Using Your EV730 Monitor
4 Connect the power cord that came with the monitor to the AC power
connector at the back of the monitor. To maintain FCC standards, only
use the cord that came with the monitor.
5 Plug the other end of the power cord into a correctly grounded electrical
outlet.
4
Setting up the monitor
Removing the base
To remove the base:
1 Turn off your computer, then disconnect the monitor’s power cable.
2 Carefully set the monitor on its side with the bottom of the monitor
facing you.
3 Rotate the base so you can easily get to the retaining latch on the bottom
of the monitor, then press in the retaining latch.
4 While pressing in the latch, slide the base toward the back of the monitor,
then remove the base.
5
Starting the monitor
Caution
Do not store tapes or diskettes next to the monitor because
the monitor generates a strong magnetic field during
startup. This field can erase or damage data stored on
2 Turn on your computer.
3 After your computer is running, the power LED on the monitor should be
green. If not, check the connections. For more troubleshooting
information, see “Troubleshooting” on page 17.
4 Adjust the controls to get the ideal image size and position for you. For
more information, see “Adjusting monitor settings” on page 8.

Adjusting monitor settings
Software controls
Adjusting the color depth and screen resolution are two of the most basic
monitor settings you may need to change.
Adjusting the color depth
Color depth is the number of colors the video card uses. Most images look best
displayed with the maximum number of colors available.
Windows lets you choose from several color depth settings for the monitor. We
recommend that you use the 32-bit True Color setting or the highest setting
available at all times.
If the color in your images seems “false” or “jumpy,” especially after you have
played a game or run a video-intensive program, check the color depth setting
and return it to 32-bit True Color, if necessary.
To change the color depth:
1 In Windows XP, click Start, then click Control Panel. The Control Panel
window opens. If your Control Panel is in Category View, click
Appearance and Themes.
- OR -
In Windows 2000, click Start, Settings, then click Control Panel. The
Control Panel window opens.

Adjusting the screen resolution
You can change the screen resolution to a size you prefer. For example, you
can increase the resolution to fit more icons on your desktop, or you can
decrease the resolution to make reading and identifying objects on the monitor
easier. The higher the resolution, the smaller individual components of the
screen (such as icons and menu bars) appear.
To change the screen resolution:
1 In Windows XP, click Start, then click Control Panel. The Control Panel
window opens. If your Control Panel is in Category View, click

ENERGY STAR
As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, Gateway has determined that this product meets
the ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency.
This monitor complies with the EPA's International ENERGY STAR Program,
which is a program designed to encourage manufacturers of computer
equipment to build circuitry into their products to reduce energy consumption
during time of non-use.
Energy declaration
When connected to a computer that supports the Display Power Management
Signaling (DPMS) Protocol, this monitor can conserve significant energy by
reducing power consumption during periods of non-use. When your computer
goes into the energy saving mode, the monitor will then enter the Active Off
mode (different from total shut down). In the Active Off mode the power LED
will still show orange.
Use these conventions and the power can be reduced to the following levels:
State
LED color
Green
Power consumption
74 W
On
Active Off
Orange
Less than or equal to 8 W
To “wake” the monitor when it is in Active Off mode, move your mouse or
press any keyboard key.
Access the power management options in the Control Panel to change the
period of time after which the monitor enters these low power states.
