Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.
To set up the monitor:
■Attach the base
■Connect the video and power cables
To attach the base:
1Carefully set the monitor on its side.
2Hold the base with the tab facing the back of the monitor and align the
hooks on the base with the corresponding slots on the bottom of the
monitor.

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.
