Setting Up the Monitor

To set up the monitor, make sure that the power to the monitor, computer
system, and other attached devices is turned off.

1.

Connect the 15-pin connector of the monitor signal cable to the rear
panel of the computer. Tighten the screws.

CAUTION: Be sure the signal cable aligns with the 15-pin connector. Do not
force the cable onto the connector or you may damage the signal cable.

2.

Connect the AC power cord to an electrical outlet that is easily
accessible to the monitor.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment,
do not disable the power cord grounding feature. This equipment is designed to
be connected to a grounded (earthed) power outlet that is easily accessible to
the operator. The grounding plug is an important safety feature.

CAUTION: When connecting the monitor, be sure to use the AC adapter
supplied with the monitor. Failure to use this AC adapter may result in damage
to the monitor.

CAUTION: Be sure that the power outlet you plug your power cord into is easily
accessible to the equipment operator. To disconnect power to the equipment,
be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

IMPORTANT: Always activate a screen saver program, the programmable sleep timer, or
turn off the monitor when it is not in use for a prolonged period of time. All LCD monitors
that display the same static image on the screen for a prolonged period of time may
exhibit screen image retention. Image retention is not a permanent condition and will fade
over a period of time. Image retention is a condition that may occur on all LCD screens.
