Turning on the Computer and Monitor

With power applied to the monitor and all cables connected you may power up the computer and press the POWER button on the rear of the monitor. The POWER LED will switch from off to green. The monitor will perform an automatic self configuration and begin displaying an image. If no image appears, it may be because the monitor has the wrong video input selected. Press the UP button on the rear of the monitor to change between VGA and DVI-D inputs. If the computer is subsequently powered off, the monitor will remain on and display the NO SIGNAL error message (page 22) indefinitely. The POWER LED remains green. The touch screen remains active during this time. When the computer is powered on again, the NO SIGNAL message disappears and normal image display resumes.

Selection of PC Video Settings

Although the M1900 can display several different video modes, the optimum display image performance occurs when the PC’s video settings match the native resolution of the M1900’s LCD. For this reason it is recommended that you set the video mode to 1280 x 1024 with a screen refresh rate of 60 Hz.

This can be done using Window’s control panel or by right clicking on the desktop and choosing “Properties”. This will bring up the “Display Properties” menu. From this menu, select the “Setting” tab and choose 1280 x 1024 for the Screen resolution. From the Settings menu, choose “Advanced” and then click on the “Monitor” tab to set the Screen refresh rate to 60 Hz.
