DISPLAY FUNCTIONS
The CRYSTALMON 17” monitor supports resolutions up to SXGA (1280x1024) with a refresh rate at between 55 and
76Hz. The quality of the image on the LCD monitor is adjustable using an On Screen Display (OSD) menu using
the control buttons on the CRYSTALMON.
Standard Controls

The CRYSTALMON has 5 standard control buttons and a power LED. The 5 standard control buttons operate
as follows:
•
•
The Power button turns the CRYSTALMON LCD and backlight ON and OFF as desired.
The Power LED located immediately below the Power button is
a dual color LED. It will illuminate with a green color when the
CRYSTALMON is powered ON and working properly. It will
illuminate with a red color if the CRYSTALMON is powered ON
but there is no input signal detected. The LED will illuminate
red only momentarily just before turning OFF.
