Be sure the power switches on the computer and monitor

are turned on.

Use the controls on the monitor to adjust the brightness

and contrast.

Remove any diskette from drive A, then turn off the power

switches on the monitor and the computer. Check that the

monitor’s power cable is securely connected to the monitor

and to an electrical outlet, and that the monitor cable is

properly connected to both the monitor and the computer.

Then turn both power switches back on.

Check that the CRT/LCD slide switch is in the CRT

position. (See “Setting the Slide Switches” in Appendix A

for instructions.)

Turn off the power switches on both the computer and the

monitor. Then check the electrical outlet for power. Plug a

portable lamp into

the outlet

and turn it on to see if the

outlet supplies power.

If an image still does not appear on your color monitor,
contact your Epson dealer.
