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

ENTER at the command prompt.

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.
