, then connect the power cord to a power

outlet 5.

WARNING:

To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment, do not disable

the power cord grounding feature. This equipment is designed to be connected to a grounded

(earthed) power outlet that is easily accessible to the operator. The grounding plug is an

important safety feature.

WARNING:

For your safety, be sure that the power outlet you plug your power cord into is

easily accessible and located as close to the equipment operator as possible. When you need

to disconnect power to the equipment, unplug the power cord from the power outlet by

grasping the plug firmly. Never pull on the cord.

CAUTION:

For the protection of your monitor as well as your computer, connect all power

cords for your computer and its peripheral devices (monitor, printer, scanner, and so on) to

some form of surge protection such as a power strip or UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply).

Not all power strips provide surge protection; they must be specifically labeled as having this

ability. Look for manufacturers that have a Damage Replacement Policy to replace your

equipment if their surge protection fails.

7. Install your speakers using one of the methods listed in “Speaker Installation.”

8. Power on your monitor by pressing the power button 7. Power on the speakers by pressing the

power button on the side of the right speaker.

If necessary, adjust the front panel controls according to your personal preference.

Your monitor installation is now complete.

ODES

Your monitor has been designed to meet strict EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) Energy Star

requirements for reduced power consumption and to comply with the VESA Standard Display Power

Management Signal. Using a combination of hardware and software functions, this energy-saving

feature allows the computer to control your monitor’s power consumption and reduce your monitor’s

power state when not in use.

NOTE:

Power consumption does not include the speaker power.

IMPORTANT:

Your monitor’s energy saver feature works only when your monitor is connected to a computer

that also has energy saver features.

The following table describes your monitor energy saver levels in each of four power states.

Power Management States

State LED Color Power

Consumption

Description

ON

Green <80 watts Normal operation

STANDBY/

SUSPEND

Yellow <15 watts Monitor screen is blank. High voltage is off. Heater

voltage is reduced. Full power mode returns quickly

(approximately 4 seconds).

SLEEP

Amber <5 watts Monitor screen is blank. High voltage is off. Heater

voltage is off. There is a brief warm-up period before

returning to full power mode (approximately 15

seconds).

The energy saver features, of the energy saver utility, are available with the Microsoft® Windows®

operating system. Some features are also available in DOS. Refer to your computer’s user guide for

instructions on setting energy saver features (may also be referred to as power management features).

To enhance the performance and extend the life of your monitor, use the following guidelines:

• Do not open your monitor cabinet or attempt to service this product yourself. Adjust only those

controls that are covered in the operating instructions. If your monitor is not operating properly or

has been dropped or damaged, contact your Compaq authorized dealer, reseller, or service

provider.

• Place your monitor at least 3 inches (76 mm) away from walls or other enclosures.

• Use only a power source and connection appropriate for your monitor, as indicated on the label on

the back plate.

• When you connect your monitor to an outlet or extension cord, be sure the total ampere rating of

the products connected to the outlet does not exceed the current rating of the electrical outlet, and

the total ampere rating of the products connected to the cord does not exceed the rating of the cord.

• Install your monitor near an outlet that you can easily reach. Disconnect your monitor by grasping

the plug firmly and pulling it from the outlet. Never disconnect your monitor by pulling the cord.

• Turn your monitor off when not in use. You can substantially increase the life expectancy of your

monitor by using a screen saver program for brief idle times and turning off your monitor when it

is not in use for an extended period of time.

• Unplug your monitor from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol

cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning. If the screen requires additional cleaning, use an antistatic

CRT screen cleaner.

CAUTION:

Do not use benzene, thinner, ammonia, or any other volatile substances to clean

your monitor or the screen. These chemicals may damage the cabinet finish as well as the

screen.

• Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation. These openings must not be blocked

or covered. Never push objects of any kind into cabinet slots or other openings.

• Do not place plants on top of your monitor. Water or dirt from the plant may get into the vents.

• Do not drop your monitor or place it on an unstable surface.

• Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not walk on the cord.

• Keep your monitor in a well-ventilated area, away from excessive light, heat and moisture. Keep

your monitor away from high-capacity transformers, electric motors, and other devices with strong

magnetic fields.

• In a two-monitor system, place your monitors as far apart from one another as possible to lessen

interference between them.
