Connecting the monitor to your computer

Connecting the monitor to your computer

Follow these steps to connect the monitor to your computer:

IMPORTANT Before you connect any cords or cables, make sure that your computer is turned off and unplugged.

WARNING This equipment is intended to be electrically grounded. Your monitor may be equipped with a three-wire grounding plug—a plug that has a third (grounding) pin. This plug will fit only a grounded AC outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact a licensed electrician to replace the outlet with a properly grounded outlet. Do not defeat the purpose of the grounding plug!

1Connect the socket end of the power cord to the power cord receptacle on the back of the monitor.

2Plug the other end of the power cord into the power socket on the back of the computer.

If your computer doesn’t have an available power socket, you need a standard, detachable, power cord (listed by a relevant safety agency) to plug the monitor directly into a grounded AC outlet. You can get this cord from an Apple- authorized dealer or service provider.
