Preset and user modes

When the monitor receives an input signal, it automatically matches the signal to one of the factory preset modes stored in the monitor’s memory to provide a high quality picture (see “Preset mode timing table” on page i). If the input signals does not match one of the factory preset modes, the monitor automatically provides the most appropriate picture for the input signal that is within the range of the vertical or horizontal frequencies (page 7) corresponding to the Generalized Timing Formula. When the picture is adjusted, the adjustment data is stored as a user mode and automatically recalled whenever the same input signal is received.

Power saving function

This monitor meets the power-saving guidelines set by VESA, TCO’99, and ENERGY STAR. If no signal is input to the monitor from your computer, the monitor will automatically reduce power consumption as shown below.

Precautions

Warning on power connections

Use the supplied power cord. If you use a different power cord, be sure that it is compatible with your local power supply.

For the customers in the UK

If you use the monitor in the UK, be sure to use the supplied UK power cable.

Example of plug types

for 100 to 120 V AC

for 200 to 240 V AC for 240 V AC only

Before disconnecting the power cord, wait at least 30 seconds after turning off the power to allow the static electricity on the screen’s surface to discharge.

After the power is turned on, the screen is demagnetized (degaussed) for about a few seconds. This generates a strong magnetic field around the screen which may affect data stored on magnetic tapes and disks placed near the monitor. Be sure to keep magnetic recording equipment, tapes, and disks away from the monitor.

The equipment should be installed near an easily accessible outlet.

Installation

Do not install the monitor in the following places:

on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains, draperies, etc.) that may block the ventilation holes

near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place subject to direct sunlight

in a place subject to severe temperature changes

in a place subject to mechanical vibration or shock

on an unstable surface

near equipment which generates magnetism, such as a transformer or high voltage power lines

near or on an electrically charged metal surface

inside an enclosed rack

Maintenance

Clean the screen with a soft cloth. If you use a glass cleaning liquid, do not use any type of cleaner containing an anti-static solution or similar additive as this may scratch the screen’s coating.

Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen with sharp or abrasive items such as a ballpoint pen or screwdriver. This type of contact may result in a scratched picture tube.

Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth lightly moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type of abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent, such as alcohol or benzine.

Transportation

When you transport this monitor for repair or shipment, use the original carton and packing materials.

Display Stand
