How to install your monitor hardware
If the computer is turned on you must turn it off before continuing.
Do not plug-in or turn-on the power to the monitor until instructed to do so.
1. Unpack the monitor and place the monitor on the
desk as illustrated.
Please be careful to prevent damage to the monitor.
Placing the screen surface on an object like a stapler
or a mouse will crack the glass or damage the LCD
substrate voiding your warranty. Sliding or scraping
the monitor around on your desk will scratch or
damage the monitor surround and controls.
Protect the monitor and screen by clearing a flat open area
on your desk and placing a soft item like the monitor
packaging bag on the desk for padding.
2. Adjust the viewing angle.
Lift the screen upward and then pull the screen forward
until it achieves your optimal viewing angle.
For more information about the adjustment of the
viewing angle, refer to "Viewing Angle Adjustment".
While angling the screen, watch the space between
the monitor and the stand plate to avoid any possible
injury with your fingers.
You should position the monitor and angle the screen
to minimize unwanted reflections from other light
sources.

9How to install your monitor hardware
3. Connect the video cable.
Connect one end of the DVI-D cable to the monitor
DVI-D socket and the other end to the DVI-D port on
your computer.
The DVI-D format is used for direct digital connection
between source video and digital LCD monitors or
projectors. The digital video signals produce a
superior quality picture than analog video signals.
If you don’t have an appropriate DVI-D port on your
computer, you can use the standard video D-Sub cable.
Connect the plug of the D-Sub cable (at the end without
the ferrite filter) to the monitor D-Sub socket. Connect
the other plug of the D-Sub cable (at the end with the
ferrite filter) to the computer video D-Sub socket.
Tighten all finger screws to prevent the plugs from
accidently falling out during use.
4. Connect the USB hub cable.
Connect the USB cable between the USB socket on the
rear of the monitor and a USB port on your computer.
5. Connect the audio cable.
Connect the audio cable between the socket on the rear of
the monitor and your computer audio outlet.

7. Connect-to and turn-on the power.
Plug the power cable into the power adaptor and into a
power point and turn it on.
Picture may differ from product supplied for your
region.
