Safety Instructions

Always read the safety instructions carefully:

Do not disassemble, modify, tamper with or repair the

product

❖ Do not attempt to disassemble, modify, tamper with or repair the product.

Disassembly, modification, tampering or repairing the product could

cause fire or electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.

Handling the power cable/cord or plug

❖ When handling the power cable/cord, follow these precautions:

❖ Never tamper with the power cable/cord or plug.

❖ Never splice or alter a power cable/cord.

❖ Never bend or twist a power cable/cord.

❖ Never pull on a power cable/cord to remove a plug from a socket.

Always grasp the plug directly.

❖ Never place heavy objects on a power cable/cord.

❖ Never run a power cable/cord through a pinch point such as a door

or window.

❖ Never place a power cable/cord near a heat source.

❖ Never use nails, staples or similar objects to fasten or attach

cable/cord in place.

Doing any of the above may damage the cable/cord, and/or result in a

fire or electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.

Attaching the power cable/cord

❖ Always confirm that the power plug (and extension cable plug if used)

has been fully inserted into the socket, to ensure a secure electrical

connection. Failure to do so may result in a fire or electric shock,

possibly resulting in serious injury.

❖ Be careful if you use a power strip. An overload on one socket could

cause a fire or electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.

Dust on the power plug connectors or connector base

❖ If dust gets on the power plug connectors or connector base, turn the

power off and disconnect the power plug, and then clean the connector

and/or connector base with a dry cloth. Continuing to use the product

without cleaning the power plug may result in a fire or an electric shock,

possibly resulting in serious injury.

Use correct power source

❖ Never plug the power cord/cable into a power source that does not

correspond to both the voltage and the frequency specified on the

regulatory label of the unit. Failure to do so could result in a fire or

electric shock, possibly resulting in serious injury.

Only use approved power cables/cords

❖ Always use or purchase power cables/cords that comply with the legal

voltage and frequency specifications and requirements in the country of

use. Failure to do so could result in a fire or electric shock, possibly

resulting in serious injury.

5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.3

Do not handle the power plug with wet hands

❖ Never attempt to connect or disconnect a power plug with wet hands.

Failure to follow this instruction could result in an electric shock,

possibly resulting in serious injury.

Choking hazards

❖ Never leave small parts such as covers, caps and screws within the reach

of infants or small children. Swallowing a small part may cause choking

and suffocation, possibly resulting in death or serious injury. If a part is

swallowed, immediately take appropriate emergency action and consult a

doctor.

Avoid liquids, moisture and foreign objects

❖ Never allow any liquids to spill into any part of the product, and never

expose the product to rain, water, seawater or moisture. Exposure to

liquid or moisture can cause electric shock or fire, possibly resulting in

damage or serious injury. If any of these eventualities should

accidentally occur, immediately:

1 Turn off the product.

2 Disconnect the power cord/cable from the power plug socket

and product.

Do not turn on the power again until you have taken the product to an

authorized service center. Failure to follow these instructions could

result in serious injury or permanent damage to the product.

Never place the product on a heat-sensitive surface

❖ Never place the product on a wooden surface, furniture, or any other

surface that could be marred by exposure to heat since the product base

surface increases in temperature during normal use.

❖ Always place the product on a flat and hard surface that is resistant to

heat damage.

LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) safety

❖ Never touch the LCD if it is damaged or broken, as the liquid contained

within the monitor may leak, possibly resulting in serious injury.

Dispose of any damaged LCD in compliance with local laws and/or

regulations.

❖ If the LCD panel is damaged, causing a liquid crystal leak, never ingest

or touch the liquid. Serious injury could result.

❖ If LCD liquid should accidentally contact any part of your body, always

use large amounts of water to wash it off immediately.

❖ If LCD liquid should accidentally contact your eyes, always rinse them

immediately with large amounts of water and obtain prompt medical

attention.

❖ If any of the LCD liquid contacts your clothes, remove them immediately

and wash them with a synthetic detergent.

❖ Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury.

5.375 x 8.375 ver 2.3

Never place the product in locations with excess heat

❖ Never place the product where it will be exposed to excess heat, such as

in direct sunlight, in an unventilated vehicle, or near a heater. This may

result in a system failure, malfunction, loss of data or damage to the

product.

Never place the product in a location with extremely low

temperatures

❖ Never place the product in a location where it will be exposed to

extremely low temperatures. This may result in a system failure,

malfunction or loss of data.

Never subject the product to sudden temperature

variations

❖ Never subject the product to sudden temperature variations. This may

result in condensation, causing a system failure, malfunction or loss of

data.

Never operate the product during a thunderstorm

❖ Never operate the product on AC power during a thunderstorm. If you

see lightning or hear thunder, immediately unplug the product. An

electric surge caused by the storm may result in a system failure, loss of

data or hardware damage.

Ensure adequate ventilation

❖ In order to allow proper heat dissipation, do not cover the slots or

openings of the monitor.

❖ Always place the product in a location where there is sufficient space

around it to ensure adequate ventilation.

Handle your monitor with care

❖ Handle your monitor with care when transporting it.

❖ Do not press, push, or scratch the monitor screen to avoid damaging it.

❖ Never spray liquid directly onto the monitor or use harsh chemical

products to clean it.

Avoid placing the monitor against a bright background or where

sunlight or other light sources may reflect on the face of the monitor.

Place the monitor just below eye level and about an arm length away,

and adjust the angle of the screen so that it is easy to read. When

using the

monitor, rest your eyes periodically and relax or stretch your

muscles to avoid strain.

Transistor Liquid Crystal Display). This manual tells you how to

set up and configure your new monitor and provides tips on care

and troubleshooting.

Features

❖ Compatible with most analog RGB (Red, Green, Blue) and

digital display standards.

❖ Displays crisp and vibrant color graphics with VGA, SVGA,

XGA, SXGA, WXGA+, WSXGA, WUXGA- and most

Macintosh-compatible color video cards.

❖ Internal microprocessor digitally controls auto-scanning, with

horizontal scan frequencies between 30 and 80 KHz, and

vertical scan frequencies between 55 and 75 Hz.

❖ Resident memory enables storage of factory default and

user-adjusted settings.

the monitor automatically informs the host system about its

capabilities, such as supported resolutions and corresponding

timing.

To take advantage of the DDC technology built in to your new

monitor, your computer must also support the DDC2B standard.

appropriate cord set for your country/region, as follows:

For locations using 120V AC: Use a UL listed cord set with

Type SVT wire and plug rated for 10A/125V.

For locations using 220/240V AC: Use a cord set consisting of

The DVI cable provides digital communication between the

monitor and computer, while the D-SUB cable provides analog

communication. If your computer has a DVI-D port, use the

DVI cable to obtain finer resolution options.

Use only one cable to connect the computer to the display. If

you connect the same computer to the display with both

cables, digital DVI mode will be used and the analog D-SUB

connection will be disabled.

You can connect two different computers simultaneously to the

display, one with the D-SUB (VGA) cable and one with the DVI

cable, and change the Input Select option on the Extra menu to

switch from one computer to the other.

d Connect the other end of the selected video cable to the

appropriate port on the computer or port replicator.
