Connecting Monitor Cables

Connecting the VGA (Analog) Cable or DVI-D (Digital) Cable

Use a VGA video cable or a DVI-D cable to connect your monitor to your computer. To use DVI, you must have a DVI-compliant graphic card. Connectors are located on the back of the monitor. Be sure the computer and monitor are turned off and unplugged.

1. To connect the VGA cable (provided with select models)

Connect one end of the VGA video cable to the back of the monitor and the other end to the VGA video connector on the computer.

2. To connect the DVI-D cable (provided with select models)

Connect one end of the DVI-D video cable to the back of the monitor and the other end to the DVI-D video connector on the computer. You can use this cable only if your computer has a DVI compliant graphics card installed. The monitor DVI-D connector and cable are included.

High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP)

Your monitor supports HDCP and can receive high-definition content. High-definition content is available in many sources, such as Blue-ray Disc devices or HDTV air or cable broadcasts. If you do not have an HDCP-enabled monitor, you will see a blank screen or a lower resolution picture when playing high-definition protected content. Your computer graphics card and monitor must both support HDCP to display protected content.

Connecting the Power Cable

1. Follow all Electrical and Power Warnings

WARNING! To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment: Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.

Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet.

Be sure that the grounded power outlet you plug the power cord into is easily accessible to the operator and located as close to the equipment as possible. A power cord should be routed so that it is not likely to be walked on or pinched by items that are placed upon it or against it.

Do not place anything on power cords or cables. Arrange them so that no one may accidentally step on or trip over them. Do not pull on a cord or cable.

See"Technical Specification" (Appendix B) for additional information.
