Before operating the monitor, please read this User Guide thoroughly. This User Guide
should be retained for future reference.

FCC Class B Radio Frequency Interference Statement

WARNING: (FOR FCC CERTIFIED MODELS)
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment
generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If
this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver
is connected.
4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

NOTICE:
1. The changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
2. Shielded interface cables and AC power cord, if any, must be used in order to comply
with the emission limits.
3. The manufacturer is not responsible for any radio or TV interference caused by
unauthorized modification to this equipment. It is the responsibilities of the user to
correct such interference.

As an ENERGY STAR Partner our company has determined that this product meets the
ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency.
WARNING:
To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose the monitor to rain or moisture. Dangerous
high voltages are present inside the monitor. Do not open the cabinet. Refer servicing to
qualified personnel only.

1
PRECAUTIONS
l Do not use the monitor near water, e.g. near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen sink, laundry
tub, swimming pool or in a wet basement.
l Do not place the monitor on an unstable cart, stand, or table. If the monitor falls, it can
injure a person and cause serious damage to the appliance. Use only a cart or stand
recommended by the manufacturer or sold with the monitor. If you mount the monitor on a
wall or shelf, use a mounting kit approved by the manufacturer and follow the kit
instructions.
l Slots and openings in the back and bottom of the cabinet are provided for ventilation. To
ensure reliable operation of the monitor and to protect it from overheating, be sure these
openings are not blocked or covered. Do not place the monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, or
similar surface. Do not place the monitor near or over a radiator or heat register. Do not
place the monitor in a bookcase or cabinet unless proper ventilation is provided.
l The monitor should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the label.
If you are not sure of the type of power supplied to your home, consult your dealer or local
power company.
l The monitor is equipped with a three-pronged grounded plug, a plug with a third
(grounding) pin. This plug will fit only into a grounded power outlet as a safety feature. If
your outlet does not accommodate the three-wire plug, have an electrician install the
correct outlet, or use an adapter to ground the appliance safely. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the grounded plug.
l Unplug the unit during a lightening storm or when it will not be used for long period of time.
This will protect the monitor from damage due to power surges.
l Do not overload power strips and extension cords. Overloading can result in fire or electric
shock.
l Never push any object into the slot on the monitor cabinet. It may short circuit parts
causing a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquids on the monitor.
l Do not attempt to service the monitor by yourself; opening or removing covers can expose
you to dangerous voltages and other hazards. Please refer all servicing to qualified
service personnel.
l To ensure satisfactory operation, use the monitor only with UL listed computers which
have appropriate configured receptacles marked between 100 - 240V AC, Min. 5A.
l The wall socket shall be installed near the equipment and shall be easily accessible.

SPECIAL NOTES
The following symptoms are normal with the monitor and do not indicate a problem.

• Due to the nature of the fluorescent light, the screen may flicker during initial use. Turn off
the Power Switch and then turn it on again to make sure the flicker disappears.
• You may find slightly uneven brightness on the screen depending on the desktop pattern
you use.
• The LCD screen has effective pixels of 99.99% or more. It may include blemishes of
0.01% or less such as a missing pixel or a pixel lit all the time.
• Due to the nature of the LCD screen, an afterimage of the previous screen may remain
after switching the image, when the same image is displayed for hours. In this case, the
screen is recovered slowly by changing the image or turning off the Power Switch for
hours.
• When the screen becomes black or flashing, or cannot illuminate any more, contact your
dealer or service center to replace parts. Don’t repair the screen by yourself!

TAKE CARE OF THE MONITOR

• Do not install the monitor in a location near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or
in a place subject to direct sunlight, or excessive dust or mechanical vibration or shock.
• Save the original shipping carton and packing materials, as they will come in handy if you
ever have to ship your monitor.
• For maximum protection, repackage your monitor as it is originally packed in the factory.
• To maintain cleanness of your LCD display, wipe it periodically with clean and soft cloth.
The screen may be damaged by any liquid splash.
• To keep the monitor looking new, periodically clean it with a soft cloth. Stubborn stains
may be removed with a cloth lightly dampened with mild detergent solution. Never use
strong solvents such as thinner, benzene, or abrasive cleaners, since these will damage
the cabinet. As a safety precaution, always unplug the monitor before cleaning it.

PLUG AND PLAY
Plug & Play DDC2B Feature

This monitor is equipped with VESA DDC2B capabilities according to the VESA DDC
STANDARD. It allows the monitor to inform the host system of its identity and, depending on
the level of DDC used, communicate additional information about its display capabilities.
The DDC2B is a bidirectional data channel based on the I²C protocol. The host can request
EDID information over the DDC2B channel.

THIS MONITOR WILL APPEAR TO BE NON-FUNCTIONAL IF THERE IS NO VIDEO

INPUT SIGNAL. TO OPERATE PROPERLY, THERE MUST BE VIDEO INPUT SIGNAL.

This monitor meets the Green monitor standards as set by the Video Electronics Standards
Association (VESA) and/or the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and
The Swedish Confederation Employees (NUTEK). This feature is designed to conserve
electrical energy by reducing power consumption when there is no video-input signal present.
When there is no video input signal this monitor, following a time-out period, will automatically
switch to an OFF mode. This reduces the monitor's internal power supply consumption. After
the video input signal is restored, full power is restored and the display is automatically
redrawn. The appearance is similar to a "Screen Saver" feature except the display is
completely off. The display is restored by pressing a key on the keyboard, or clicking the
mouse.

USING THE RIGHT POWER CORD :

The accessory power cord for the Northern American region is the wallet plug with NEMA 5-
15 style and is UL listed and CSA labeled. The voltage rating for the power cord shall be 125
volts AC.
Supplied with units are intended for connection to power outlet of personal computer: Please
use a cord set consisting of a minimum No. 18 AWG, type SJT or SVT three conductors
flexible cord. One end terminates with a grounding type attachment plug, rated 10A, 250V,
CEE-22 male configuration. The other end terminates with a molded-on type connector body,
rated 10A, 250V, having standard CEE-22 female configuration.
Please note that power supply cord needs to use VDE 0602, 0625, 0821 approval power cord
in European counties.
