  • Note: Take care when performing the installation to avoid injuring yourself.
  • Note: If installing with a wall mounting kit, it is recommended to use VESA mounting kit (100×100) with M4x10 (L) mm screws to fix your monitor on the wall.

Connecting the adapter and AC Power cord

  • Check first to make sure that the power cord you use is the correct type required for your area.
  • The monitor has a universal power supply that allows operation in either 100/120 V AC or 220/240 V AC voltage area. No user-adjustment is required.
  • Plug one end of the AC power cord to the Adapter, and plug the other end into an AC outlet.
  • For units using 120 V AC:
    • Use a UL-listed cord set, type SVT wire and plug rated 10 A/125 V.
  • For units using 220/240 V AC:
    Use a cord set consisting of H05VV-F cord and plug rated 10 A/250 V. The cord set should have the appropriate safety approvals for the country in which the equipment will be installed.

Power saving
The monitor will be driven into “Power Saving” mode by the control signal from the display controller, as indicated by the amber-color power LED.
