Using USB Connectors
The base of the monitor has five Universal Serial Bus (USB)
connectors. Four of these connectors, 1, 3, 4, and 5, are for
connecting USB compatible Plug and Play devices such as a
keyboard, mouse, or video camera. USB connector 2is used to
connect the USB signal cable to the computer. The USB signal
cable is included with the monitor.
Using BNC Connectors
A signal cable with BNC connectors may be used in place of the
15-pin signal cable. To connect two computers to the monitor, a
BNC connector may be used together with the 15-pin signal
cable. If you have separately purchased a signal cable with BNC
connectors, use the following instructions to connect the signal
cable to the monitor.
✎Fault Management and Asset Control are not supported by the
monitor when BNC connectors are used.

Some functions will have up to three menu levels.
✎This monitor uses an aperture grille CRT for excellent screen
performance. At times the shadows of two small horizontal
lines may appear on the screen background. This is not a
defect. The wires are there to reduce susceptibility to
horizontal vibration.

User Modes
The video controller signal may occasionally call for a mode
that is not preset if:
■ You are not using a Compaq standard graphics adapter.
■ You are not using a preset mode.
If this occurs, you may need to readjust the parameters of the
monitor screen by using the on-screen display. User changes
can be made to any or all of these modes and saved in memory.
The monitor automatically stores the new setting, then
automatically recognizes the new mode just as it does a preset
mode. In addition to the 21 preset modes that can be changed
and stored, there are 15 user modes that can be entered and
stored.
To revert back to the factory default settings, select Reset from
the Factory Reset menu in the on-screen display, and the factory
default resolutions will replace the user changes made for the
operating original display mode.

Adjusting Picture
Quality Allow the monitor to warm up for 30 minutes before
performing the following procedures. The picture image
stabilizes after a warm-up period.
Optimizing Contrast
For best results, set your screen to a dark background (such as
the DOS prompt) before adjusting the following settings:
1. Set the brightness and contrast controls to their lowest
settings.
2. Increase brightness until the background portions of the
screen are visible, then slowly reduce brightness until the
background is just extinguished.
3. Adjust contrast control to your preference.
Optimizing Focus
The default image size is preset at the factory. The Size and
Position controls in the on-screen display can be used to
increase the screen size beyond the default setting. However,
expanding the screen image beyond the default settings may
degrade the focus at the outer edge of the screen.
To enhance focus, use the lowest brightness level that gives
satisfactory results in your viewing environment.
✎Settings that maximize contrast may not offer optimum focus,
and settings that maximize focus may not offer optimum
contrast.
