Troubleshooting  
This LCD Monitor has pre-adjusted using factory standard VGA timings. Due to the output timing differences among  
various VGA cards in the market, users may initially experience an unstable or unclear display whenever a new  
display mode or new VGA card is selected.  
Attention  
This LCD Monitor Supports Multiple VGA Modes.  
Refer to the Standard Timing Table for a listing of modes supported by this LCD Monitor.  
PROBLEM Picture is unclear and unstable  
The picture is unclear and unstable, please perform the following steps :  
1. Enter PC to “Shut Down Windows” status while you’re in MS-Windows environment.  
2. Check the screen to see if there’s any black vertical stripes appear. If there are, take advantage of the  
“Clock” function in OSD menu and adjust (by increment or decrement numbers) until those bars  
disappear.  
3. Move to “Phase” function in OSD menu again and adjust the monitor screen to its most clear display.  
4. Click “No” on “Shut Down Windows” and back to the normal PC operating environment.  
PROBLEM There is no picture on LCD Monitor  
If there’s no picture on the LCD Monitor, please perform the following steps:  
1. Make sure the power indicator on the LCD Monitor is ON, all connections are secured, and the system is  
running on the correct timing. Refer to Chapter 3 for information on timing.  
2. Turn off the LCD Monitor and then turn it back on again. If there is still no picture, press the Adjustment  
Control button several times.  
3. If step 2 doesn’t work, connect your PC system to another external CRT. If your PC system Functions  
properly with a CRT Monitor but it does not function with the LCD Monitor, the output timing of the  
VGA card may be out of the LCD’s synchronous range. Please change to an alternative mode listed in  
the Standard Timing Table or replace the VGA card, and then repeat steps 1 and 2.  
PROBLEM There is no picture on LCD Monitor  
If you have chosen an output timing that is outside of the LCD Monitor’s synchronous range (Horizontal: 30  
~ 80 KHz and Vertical: 56 ~ 75 Hz), the OSD will display a “Out of Range” message. Choose a mode that  
is supported by your LCD Monitor.  
Also, if the signal cable is not connected to LCD monitor at all or properly, the monitor screen will display a  
message “No Input Signal”.
