Automatic Save

With the OSD open, if you make an adjustment and then either proceed to another menu or exit the OSD, the monitor automatically saves any adjustments you have made. If you make an adjustment and then wait for the OSD to disappear the adjustment will also be saved.

OSD Warning Messages

A warning message may appear on the screen indicating that the monitor is out of sync.

This means that the monitor cannot synchronize with the signal that it is receiving from the computer. Either the signal is too high or too low for the monitor to use. See Specifications for the Horizontal and Vertical frequency ranges addressable by this monitor. Recommended mode is 1024 X 768 @ 60Hz.

NOTE: A Test-pattern window will appear on-screen if the monitor cannot sense a video signal.

Occasionally, no warning message appears, but the screen is blank. This could also indicate that the monitor is not synchronizing with the computer.

SeeSolving Problems for more information.
