Installation
Unpacking
Before unpacking the LCD Monitor, prepare a suitable workspace for your Monitor and computer. You need a stable and clean surface near a wall power outlet. Make sure that LCD Monitor has enough space around it for sufficient airflow. Though the LCD Monitor uses very little power, some ventilation is needed to ensure that the Monitor does not become too hot. After you unpack the LCD Monitor, make sure that the following items were included in the box:
* LCD Monitor * Monitor-to-PC VGA Cable * Monitor-to-PC DVI-D Cable * User's Manual * Stereo Jack Audio Cable * Power Cord * Base

If you find that any of these items is missing or appears damaged, contact your dealer immediately.

Connecting the LCD Monitor and Base

When you open the box, place the base and put on the desk first. Then connect the LCD monitor and base. (See fig. 1-1)

Interface for Arm Applications

Before installing to mounting device, please refer to Fig.1-3. The rear of this LCD display has four integrated 4 mm, 0.7 pitch threaded nuts, as well as four 5 mm access holes in the plastic covering as illustrated in Figure 1-4. These specifications meet the VESA Flat Panel Monitor Physical Mounting Interface Standard (paragraphs 2.1 and 2.1.3, version 1, dated 13 November 1997). Note :Please using M 4mm x 11mm (L) screw for this application. Figure 1-4

Connecting the Display

1. Power off your computer. 2. Connect one end of the signal cable to the LCD Monitors VGA port or DVI port. (See Fig 1-5) 3. Connect the other end of the signal cable to the VGA port or DVI port on your PC. 4. Make sure connections are secure.

Setting Up the LCD Monitor

1. Make sure the AC power cord is connected to the LCD Monitor. 2. Turn on the LCD Monitor's power switch, located on the bezel of the monitor.

Power Management System

This LCD Monitor complies with the VESA DPM Power Management guidelines. If you have VESA's DPM compliance display card or software installed in your PC, the monitor can automatically reduce its power consumption when not in use. If input from keyboard, mouse or other input devices is detected by the computer, the monitor will automatically "wake up". When the LCD Monitor is in power saving mode, the monitor screen will be blank and the power LED indicator will light yellow.

Troubleshooting
This LCD Monitor has pre-adjusted using factory standard VGA timings. Due to the output timing differences among various VGA cards in the market, users may initially experience an unstable or unclear display whenever a new display mode or new VGA card is selected.

Attention
This LCD Monitor Supports Multiple VGA Modes. Refer to the Standard Timing Table for a listing of modes supported by this LCD Monitor. PROBLEM Picture is unclear and unstable The picture is unclear and unstable, please perform the following steps: 1. Enter PC to Shut Down Windows status while youre in MS-Windows environment. 2. Check the screen to see if theres any black vertical stripes appear. If there are, take advantage of the Clock function in OSD menu and adjust (by increment or decrement numbers) until those bars disappear. 3. Move to Phase function in OSD menu again and adjust the monitor screen to its most clear display. 4. Click No on Shut Down Windows and back to the normal PC operating environment. PROBLEM There is no picture on LCD Monitor

If theres no picture on the LCD Monitor, please perform the following steps: 1. Make sure the power indicator on the LCD Monitor is ON, all connections are secured, and the system is running on the correct timing. Refer to Chapter 3 for information on timing. 2. Turn off the LCD Monitor and then turn it back on again. If there is still no picture, press the Adjustment Control button several times. 3. If step 2 doesnt work, connect your PC system to another external CRT. If your PC system Functions properly with a CRT Monitor but it does not function with the LCD Monitor, the output timing of the VGA card may be out of the LCDs synchronous range. Please change to an alternative mode listed in the Standard Timing Table or replace the VGA card, and then repeat steps 1 and 2. PROBLEM There is no picture on LCD Monitor

If you have chosen an output timing that is outside of the LCD Monitors synchronous range (Horizontal: 30 ~ 80 kHz and Vertical: 56 ~ 75 Hz), the OSD will display a Out of Range message. Choose a mode that is supported by your LCD Monitor. Also, if the signal cable is not connected to LCD monitor at all or properly, the monitor screen will display a message No Input Signal.
