Introduction
This manual tells you how to connect, adjust and care for your monitor. This manual also
provides technical specifications and instructions for troubleshooting problems you may
experience with your monitor.
Monitor features
The Diamond monitor is an intelligent, microprocessor-based monitor compatible with
most analog RGB (red, green, blue) display standards, including PS/V®, PS/2®, Apple®
Macintosh®, Centris, Quadra, Macintosh II and Power Macintosh products.
It provides crisp text and vivid color graphics with VGA, SVGA, XGA (non-interlaced), and
most Macintosh compatible color graphics boards.
쮿The monitor’s wide auto-scanning compatibility range makes it possible to upgrade
graphics boards or software without needing to purchase a new monitor.
쮿Digitally controlled auto-scanning is done using an internal microprocessor, for
horizontal scan frequencies between 30kHz and 121kHz, and vertical scan frequen-
cies between 50Hz and 160Hz. The microprocessor-based intelligence allows the
monitor to operate in each frequency mode with the precision of a fixed frequency
monitor.
쮿The monitor contains resident memory for pre-programmed screen display stan-
dards and is also capable of storing additional user adjustment parameters.
쮿The monitor is capable of producing a non-interlaced maximum addressable resolu-
tion format of 1800 dots x 1440 lines. This display is well suited for windowing envi-
ronments.
쮿Because of the analog signal inputs, the monitor can display an unlimited palette of
colors that can be manually adjusted to suit your specific needs.
쮿The monitor has a power management function according to VESATM-DPMSTM stan-
dard. To save energy, the monitor must be connected to a system compliant with
this standard. (Refer to your computer and/or graphics board instructions for proper
operation.)
쮿To ensure the easy installation and operation of this monitor, an on-screen display
(OSD) presents all of the functions for setup and adjustment.
쮿The monitor complies with the safety standards UL 1950, CSA C22.2 No.950 and
EN60950; FCC Class-B, VCCI Class-B and EN55022 Class-B for EMI; MPR-II; and with

the ergonomics standards ISO 9241-3, ISO9241-7 and ISO9241-8. The monitor also
complies with TCO’99 guideline for environmentally friendly use.
쮿Digital chassis design for lighter, more compact housing and improved display per-
formance.
쮿The world standard DIAMONDTRON tube upgraded with improved focus and con-
vergence for supersharp and pure picture images.
쮿The monitor complies with Video Electronics Standards Association (VESATM)
DDCTM1/2B(EDID) specification. If your computer provides DDCTM1/2B(EDID)
function, the setup takes place automatically.
쮿USB self-powered hub with 2 upstream ports and 3 downstream ports.

CE conformity and FCC radiation standard
CE
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits of the European
Council Directive on the approximation of the laws of the member states relating to elec-
tromagnetic compatibility (89/336/EEC) according to EN 55022 class B.
FCC
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital
device pursuant to Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Rules.
CE and FCC
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against radio frequency inter-
ference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy. It may interfere with to radio communications if not installed and
used in accordance with the instructions. However, there is no guarantee that interfe-
rence will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference
to radio or television reception (this can be determined by turning this equipment off and
on), the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the follo-
wing measures:
쮿Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
쮿Increase the distance between this equipment and the receiver.
쮿Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit other than that to which the receiver
is connected.
쮿Consult your dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician.
쮿Caution: To comply with the limits for an FCC Class B computing device, always use
a shielded signal cable.
Caution to the user: The Federal Communications Commission warns the user that chan-
ges or modifications to the unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for com-
pliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.

Monitor installation
The ECOMO 22H99 supports USB and is provided with special software. In this chapter
you will learn more about USB and how to install the monitor under your operating sys-
tem.
The USB function under Windows
What does USB stand for?
USB stands for “Universal Serial Bus“ and defines a new interface standard which is
clearly more convenient for the PC user. This increased convenience concerns the con-
nection and configuration of peripheral devices. Up to 127 peripherals such as keyboard,
mouse, modemremovable drives and digital cameras for videoconferencing can be con-
nected to a USB system. With USB, each peripheral device is configured automatically.
The USB standard defines an uniform connector type, making special cables, proprietary
connectors and interfaces and special installation software unnecessary. This eliminates
the all-too-familiar cable spaghetti that can result and the risk of hardware damage due
to an incorrect connection. The fact that all the devices can be connected to each
other—similar to a network—is also a great advantage. It means a high degree of flex-
ibility when planning the layout of the devices: Not all peripheral devices have to be con-
nected centrally to the computer.
Who can use USB?
The USB function is available to you if your hardware and operating system support USB.
In this case, it is the Windows system that checks the hardware, sets up the USB and
controls the attached devices.
USB support is already integrated in Windows 98. This may be different with older ver-
sions of Windows 95, as not all versions support USB.

Checking for USB support
Open up the Control Panel by selecting Start 왘Settings 왘System. In the Device
Manager, view the list of devices available in the system.
For further information on USB please refer to www.usb.org.
The Windows system Device Man-
ager shows you whether the USB
controller is installed or not.

The USB connection
A USB cable for connecting your monitor to your computer is supplied. The following dia-
gram shows the various options possible within a USB system:
If you use the supplied USB cable to connect your computer and ELSA monitor, it is rec-
ommended that you place the accompanying ferrous core around the cable. This core
reduces the electromagnetic interference from the monitor which would otherwise det-
rimentally effect the signal transmission.
햲Place the ferrous core around the cable. Make sure that the separation between the
core and the monitor’s USB socket is at least 3 cm.
햳Squeeze the core closed until it snaps shut.

All under control
Among other things it is possible to configure the monitor conveniently via software. A
program with which you can configure the main display settings directly is included with
your ELSA monitor.
USB monitor installation
When you insert the supplied CD, the ELSA setup program usually starts up automati-
cally. After you have specified the monitor type, you can select the component to be
installed in the list and click on Install.
If the program does not automatically start after the CD is inserted, you should run it man-
ually. Select the CD drive in Explorer and start the CDSETUP.EXE program in the root
directory of the CD.
Configuring the display with a USB monitor
After the installation you will find the USB monitor in the Control Panel under Display
Properties. Select Start 왘Settings 왘Control Panel and start the Display program.
In the 'Display Properties' dialog box you will find the 'ECOMO 22H99 USB Monitor' tab.
Configuration using sliders is easy and intuitive. The resulting effects are displayed
immediately.
If you want to make display corrections in small increments you can use the arrow keys
(a) instead of the mouse to change the values gradually.
Feel free to experiment and try out the different possibilities. The settings are only saved
when you confirm them by pressing Apply or OK.
