Setup
Important: Before connecting the monitor, turn off the computer
and attached devices. Also ensure the power at the electrical
outlet matches the power requirements of the monitor. Refer to
the Specifications section on page 16 /17 for more details.
Attaching the Stand
1. Place the monitor face down on a soft surface to prevent
the screen being scratched.
2. Insert the hooks (1) into the matching slots on the underside
of the monitor (2).
3. Slide the base towards the front of the monitor until the
latch (3) clicks into the locked position.

ENGLISH
Connecting your monitor
1. Connect the signal cable to the video port on the back of
your computer (figure A). Your computer may have a video
adapter card installed. In this case, attach the signal cable
to the connector on the video adapter card (figure B).
2. Connect the power cord to the monitor first, then firmly
insert the plug into a properly grounded electrical outlet.
3. Turn on the monitor, and then the computer.
If your monitor does not seem to be working correctly, refer to
the Troubleshooting section on page 18 for help.

Workplace preparation
Positioning the Monitor
Choose a suitable place to position the monitor where it is not
near fluorescent desk lighting or any equipment that produces
magnetic fields that could cause interference. Ensure that the
furniture or equipment can support the weight of the monitor.
Allow at least 2 inches (50mm) ventilation space around the
monitor.
Height
The monitor should be positioned so that the top of the screen
is slightly below your eye level when you sit at your
workstation.
Orientation
Choose a position that gives the least reflection from lights and
windows, usually at a right angle to any windows. The monitor
should be positioned directly in front of you so that you do not
have to twist your body. Tilt the monitor to a comfortable
viewing angle.
Working Practices
Rest
Take regular breaks. Vary your posture, and stand up and
stretch occasionally as prolonged use of computer
workstations can be tiring.
Back
You should sit back in the chair and use the back rest.
Hands
Use a light touch on the keyboard, keeping your hands and
fingers relaxed. Allow a space in front of the keyboard to rest
your wrists when not typing. Consider using a wristpad.
Eyesight
Working with monitors, in common with any prolonged close
work, can be visually demanding. Look away from the screen
periodically and have your eyesight checked regularly.
Screen settings
Set the screen brightness and contrast to a comfortable level.
You may have to adjust this as the lighting changes during the
day. Many application programs let you select colour combina-
tions which can help you to view in comfort.

Demagnetizes the monitor .
Discoloration of the image can be caused by gradual magnetization of the
monitor components. This is particularly likely to occur when the monitor is
moved or rotated. The monitor may "buzz" momentarily when this user control
is selected and the image will change color and wobble for a few seconds.
These effects are normal. Do not use this feature more than once in any 30
minutes period.

USER / PRESET MODE
Language
Function Description
LANGUAGE
The screen displays the details of the user defined display modes. Press " " or " " to
switch beween the Preset or User Mode screens. The details displayed are addressability, refresh
rate, horizontal frequency, sync polarity and the current mode of operation.
Select the OSD language .The available languages are English (default), German, Spanish,
French and Italian.

The display mode the monitor uses is controlled by the
computer. Therefore you should refer to your computer
documentation for details on how to change display modes.
The image size, position and shape may change when the
display mode changes. This is normal and the image can be
readjusted using the monitor controls.
To ensure flicker-free operation, select the highest (non-
interlaced) refresh rate both the computer and the monitor can
support, (generally 75 Hz or higher), for the addressability that
your application requires.
For the display modes listed below, the screen image has
been optimised during manufacture.

To benefit from power management, the monitor must be used
in conjunction with a computer that implements the Video
Electronics Standards Association (VESA) Display Power
Management Signalling (DPMS) Standard.
The power management feature is invoked when the computer
recognizes that you have not used your mouse or keyboard for
a user-definable period of time. There are several states as
described in the table below.
