manual should be retained for future reference.
FCC Class B Radio Frequency Interference Statement
WARNING: (FOR FCC CERTIFIED MODELS)
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy,
and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television
reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or
more of the following measures:
1.
2.
3.
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.
4.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
NOTICE:
1. The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to
operate the equipment.
2. Shielded interface cables and AC power cord, if any, must be
used in order to comply with the emission limits.
3. The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV
interference caused by unauthorized modification to this
equipment. It is the responsibilities of the user to correct such
interference.
WARNING:
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the monitor to rain or
moisture. Dangerously high voltages are present inside the monitor.
Do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
Important Recycle Instruction:
LCD Lamp(s) inside this product contain mercury. This product
may contain other electronic waste that can be hazardous if not
disposed of properly. Recycle or dispose in accordance with local,
state, or federal Laws. For more information, contact the Electronic

PRECAUTIONS
z Do not use the monitor near water, e.g. near a bathtub, washbowl,
kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming pool or in a wet basement.
z Do not place the monitor on an unstable cart, stand, or table. If the
monitor falls, it can injure a person and cause serious damage to
the appliance. Use only a cart or stand recommended by the
manufacturer or sold with the monitor. If you mount the monitor on
a wall or shelf, use a mounting kit approved by the manufacturer
and follow the kit instructions.
z Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are
provided for ventilation. To ensure reliable operation of the monitor
and to protect it from overheating, be sure these openings are not
blocked or covered. Do not place the monitor on a bed, sofa, rug,
or similar surface. Do not place the monitor near or over a radiator
or heat register. Do not place the monitor in a bookcase or cabinet
unless proper ventilation is provided.
z The monitor should be operated only from the type of power source
indicated on the label. If you are not sure of the type of power
supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local power company.
z The monitor is equipped with a three-pronged grounded plug, a
plug with a third (grounding) pin. This plug will fit only into a
grounded power outlet as a safety feature. If your outlet does not
accommodate the three-wire plug, have an electrician install the
correct outlet, or use an adapter to ground the appliance safely. Do
not defeat the safety purpose of the grounded plug.
z Unplug the unit during a lightening storm or when it will not be used
for long period of time. This will protect the monitor from damage
due to power surges.
z Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can
result in fire or electric shock.
z Never push any object into the slot on the monitor cabinet. It could
short circuit parts causing a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquids
on the monitor.
z Do not attempt to service the monitor by yourself; opening or
removing covers can expose you to dangerous voltages and other
hazards. Please refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
z To ensure satisfactory operation, use the monitor only with UL
listed computers which have appropriate configured receptacles
marked between 100 - 240V AC, Min. 5A.
z The wall socket shall be installed near the equipment and shall be
easily accessible.
z
For use only with the attached power adapter (Output 12Vdc)
which have UL, CSA listed license.

GENERAL NOTES
SPECIAL NOTES ON LCD MONITORS
The following symptoms are normal with LCD monitor and do not
indicate a problem.
NOTES
• Due to the nature of the fluorescent light, the screen may flicker
during initial use. Turn off the Power Switch and then turn it on
again to make sure the flicker disappears.
• You may find slightly uneven brightness on the screen depending
on the desktop pattern you use.
• The LCD screen has effective pixels of 99.99% or more. It may
include blemishes of 0.01% or less such as a missing pixel or a
pixel lit all of the time.
• Due to the nature of the LCD screen, an afterimage of the previous
screen may remain after switching the image, when the same
image is displayed for hours. In this case, the screen is recovered
slowly by changing the image or turning off the Power Switch for
hours.

PLUG AND PLAY
Plug & Play DDC 2B Feature
This monitor is equipped with VESA DDC 2B capabilities according to
the VESA DDC STANDARD. It allows the monitor to inform the host
system of its identity and, depending on the level of DDC used,
communicate additional information about its display capabilities.
The DDC 2B is a bidirectional data channel based on the I²C protocol.
The host can request EDID information over the DDC 2B channel.
THIS MONITOR WILL APPEAR TO BE NON-FUNCTIONAL IF THERE IS
NO VIDEO INPUT SIGNAL. IN ORDER FOR THIS MONITOR TO OPERATE
PROPERLY, THERE MUST BE A VIDEO INPUT SIGNAL.
This monitor meets the Green monitor standards as set by the Video
Electronics Standards Association (VESA) and/or the United States
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and The Swedish
Confederation Employees (NUTEK). This feature is designed to
conserve electrical energy by reducing power consumption when there
is no video-input signal present. When there is no video input signal
this monitor, following a time-out period, will automatically switch to an
OFF mode. This reduces the monitor's internal power supply
consumption. After the video input signal is restored, full power is
restored and the display is automatically redrawn. The appearance is
similar to a "Screen Saver" feature except the display is completely off.
The display is restored by pressing a key on the keyboard, or clicking
the mouse.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT (FAQ) (cont.)
CLOCK (pixel frequency) controls the number of pixels scanned by
one horizontal sweep. If the frequency is not correct, the screen shows
vertical stripes and the picture has not correct width.
FOCUS adjusts the phase of the pixel clock signal. With a wrong
phase adjustment the picture has horizontal disturbances in light
picture.
For FOCUS and CLOCK adjustment use “dot-pattern” or win 95/98
shut-down mode pattern.
ERROR MESSAGE & POSSIBLE SOLUTION
CABLE NOT CONNECTED :
1. Check that the signal-cable is properly connected. If the
connector is loose, tighten the connector’s screws.
2. Check the signal-cable’s connection pins for damage.
