To connect the video and power cables:
1Position the monitor and your computer so you can easily get at the back panel of
each. Make sure that all power cables can reach a correctly grounded electrical outlet.
2Connect the video cable to the matching (blue) video port on the back of your
computer.
3Tighten the screws on the video cable connector to keep it from coming loose.
Tightening the screws also prevents radio and TV interference.

the back of the monitor. Only use the power cable that came with the monitor.

Caution The openings in the monitor cabinet are for ventilation. Do not block
or cover these openings. Do not insert anything into these openings.
If you put the monitor in a bookcase or some other enclosed space,
