Auto Setup for DOS

If the monitor is in standby mode (STANDBY ON), it

may automatically turn off while you are waiting for it to warm up. If this happens, switch off the monitor and switch it on again after a few seconds.

If your system goes into standby mode again, reboot your system and change the system Bios Setup Utility to DISABLE Power Saving. Refer to your system manual.

If you are using PC-DOS/ V, change to U.S. mode by typing ‘CHEV US’ and pressing

ENTER at the command prompt.

You must use DOS or OS.2 DOS Full Screen

(not under Windows or OS/2 DOS window, OS/2 window, or OS/2 full screen) when you run DOS Auto Setup.

The size and diversity of the dot pattern varies with

the screen resolution.

If the screen flickers, repeat the setup several

times until the flicker is

minimised, or adjust it manually by following Manual Setup

on page 13.
