Section 1 - General Information

Congratulations on purchasing a MaxTech 17-inch high resolution color monitor. The monitor uses one of the finest CRTs available in the industry. The 0.28 mm dot pitch non-glare tube provides a crisp and vivid color display. The monitor complies with the MPR-II standard to reduce electro-magnetic emissions. Ad- vanced electronics and digital controls make it the perfect monitor for applications ranging from home computing to business presentations.

The monitor is compatible with VGA, SVGA, and XGA display adapters. It operates at resolutions ranging from 640 x 350 to 1280 x 1024 with unlimited colors. The monitor is PnP (Plug and Play) compliant to simplify setup and configuration in Windows 95 or other PnP operating systems.

1.1 Precautions When Using the Monitor

When setting up and using your monitor, pay special attention to the following:

•To eliminate eye fatigue, do not use your monitor against a bright background or where sunlight or other light sources will shine directly on the monitor.

•Your monitor should be placed just below eye level for optimum viewing.

•Allow adequate ventilation around the monitor so that heat from the monitor can properly dissipate.

•Neither the monitor itself nor any other heavy object should rest on the power cord. Damage to a power cord can cause fire or electrical shock.

•Keep the monitor away from high capacity transformers, electric motors and other strong magnetic fields.

•Do not use your monitor in a damp, dusty or dirty area.

•Handle the monitor with care when transporting.

•Unplug the monitor during electrical storms

The video output connector on your computer may be either in a location similar to Figure 2-1 or on an expansion board. Secure the cable to the computer using the thumbscrews on the 15- pin connector.

•Attach the power cord to the monitor and plug it into an AC outlet.

•The monitor is now ready for use.
