PRECAUTIONS

• Do not use the monitor near water, e.g. near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry tub, swimming pool or in a wet basement.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric shock.

• 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.

• 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.

• To ensure satisfactory operation, use the monitor only with UL listed computers which have appropriate configured receptacles marked between 100 – 240V AC, Min. 5A.

• The wall socket shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

• Do not operate the product over 16 hours per day.

• Please confirm the distribution system in building installation shall provide the circuit breaker rated 120/240V, 20A (maximum).

SPECIAL NOTES ON LCD MONITORS

PLUG AND PLAY

Plug & Play DDC2B Feature
This monitor is equipped with VESA DDC2B 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 DDC2B is a bidirectional data channel based on the I²C protocol. The host can request EDID information over the DDC2B 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 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.

USING THE RIGHT POWER CORD :
The accessory power cord for the Northern American region is the wallet plug with NEMA 5-15 style and is UL listed and CSA labeled. The voltage rating for the power cord  shall be 125 volts AC.
Supplied with units intended for connection to power outlet of personal computer: Please use a cord set consisting of a minimum No. 18 AWG, type SJT or SVT three  conductors flexible cord. One end terminates with a grounding type attachment plug, rated 10A, 250V, CEE-22 male configuration. The other end terminates with a molded-on  type connector body, rated 10A, 250V, having standard CEE-22 female configuration.
Please note that power supply cord needs to use VDE 0602, 0625, 0821 approval power cord in European counties.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT (FAQ)

• Power Cord should be connected.
  No Plug & Play| * Check if the PC system is Plug & Play compatible.
• Check if the Video Card is Plug & Play compatible.

  Picture bounces or a wave pattern is present in the picture| Move electrical devices that may cause electrical interference.
  The power LED is ON (Amber) butthere’s no video or no picture.| * Computer Power Switch should be in the ON position.
• Computer Video Card should be snugly seated in its slot.
• Make sure monitor’s video cable is properly connected to the computer.

  Poor brightness or contrast| When the brightness of the screen lowers after being used for a certain  period and the function of the display is affected, send it to our authorized  service center for repair.
  Horizontal or vertical disturbances onthe screen| * Adjust CLOCK and PHASE.

TECHNICAL SUPPORT (FAQ)
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.

PHASE adjusts the phase of the pixel clock signal. With a wrong phase adjustment the picture has horizontal disturbances in light picture.

For PHASE and CLOCK adjustment use “dot-pattern”.

ERROR MESSAGE & POSSIBLE SOLUTION
NO SIGNAL:

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.
