4 Helpful tips for installation and operation
4.1 G-105 has no internal grid pattern. If user needs grid pattern, external grid pattern from PC or media player
shall be applied.
4.2 System reset: In some application, during operating, user may not see OSD menu and can’t execute system
reset. Below are the methods to do system reset:
a. Press any other INDEX key on remote controller or front panel, user will see full OSD to do system reset.
b. Use a small pin and press Tact switch inside the small hole next to Power switch on front panel for 5
second, it will reset the system.
4.3 Each G-105 is equipped with IR extenders. User can extend the cable distance up to 20m through audio cable.
4.4 RS232 is available for system control. User can use USB to RS232 conversion cable for the connection.
4.5 OSD Lock / Unlock: When continuously press [MENU] key in IR Remote Controller for 5 seconds, the OSD
function will be locked to prevent from changes of the settings. To press MENU key for 5 seconds again, it will
unlock OSD and user can manipulate OSD again.
4.6 Box ID allows user to control multiple G-105 at the same time without interference. Press remote controller
number keys as below and then function keys to execute OSD control:
 851: control #1 G-105
 852: control #2 G-105
 850: control all G-105
4.7 Picture menu in the OSD can only be activated while the input signal is not in [Preset Mode] color setting. To
select [Image Properties]  [Custom]  [Save], then user can activate [Picture] menu again.
4.8 [Image Setup] menu will not be activated if the input source is not from VGA.
4.9 User can store the final settings in PC and copy the same settings to other units by GPM PC tool.
4.10 Poor signal cable connection or too long cable may cause noise on the display. Re-connect or replace a new
cable may solve the problem. High speed HDMI cable with Ethernet function is recommended.
