1 FOR YOUR SAFETY
FOR YOUR SAFETY
WARNING
STOP OPERATING THE MONITOR WHEN YOU SENSE TROUBLE
If you notice any abnormal phenomena such as smoke, strange sounds or fumes, unplug the monitor
and contact your dealer or iiyama service center immediately. Further use may be dangerous and can
cause fire or electric shock.
NEVER REMOVE THE CABINET
High voltage circuits are inside the monitor. Removing the cabinet may expose you to the danger of fire
or electric shock.
DO NOT PUT ANY OBJECT INTO THE MONITOR
Do not put any solid objects or liquids such as water into the monitor. In case of an accident, unplug
your monitor immediately and contact your dealer or iiyama service center. Using the monitor with any
object inside may cause fire, electric shock or damage.
INSTALL THE MONITOR ON A FLAT, STABLE SURFACE
The monitor may cause an injury if it falls or is dropped.
DO NOT USE THE MONITOR NEAR WATER
Do not use where water may be splashed or spilt onto the monitor as it may cause fire or electric
shock.
OPERATE UNDER THE SPECIFIED POWER SUPPLY
Be sure to operate the monitor only with the specified power supply. Use of an incorrect voltage will
cause malfunction and may cause fire or electric shock.
PROTECT THE CABLES
Do not pull or bend the power cable and signal cable. Do not place the monitor or any other heavy
objects on the cables. If damaged, the cables may cause fire or electric shock.
ADVERSE WEATHER CONDITIONS
It is advisable not to operate the monitor during a heavy thunder storm as the continual breaks in
power may cause malfunction. It is also advised not to touch the plug in these circumstances as it may
cause electric shock.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Downloaded from ManualMonitor.com Manuals

ENGLISH
CAUTION
INSTALLATION LOCATION
Do not install the monitor where sudden temperature changes may occur, or in humid, dusty or smoky
areas as it may cause fire, electric shock or damage. You should also avoid areas where the sun
shines directly on the monitor.
DO NOT PLACE THE MONITOR IN A HAZARDOUS POSITION
The monitor may topple and cause injury if not suitably located. Please also ensure that you do not
place any heavy objects on the monitor, and that all cables are routed such that children may not pull
the cables and possibly cause injury.
MAINTAIN GOOD VENTILATION
Ventilation slots are provided to keep the monitor from overheating. Covering the slots may cause fire.
To allow adequate air circulation, place the monitor at least 10 cm (or 4 inches) from any walls.
Do not remove the tilt stand when operating the monitor. Ventilation slots on the back of the cabinet
will be blocked and the monitor may overheat if the stand is removed. This may cause fire or damage.
Operating the monitor on its back, side, upside down or on a carpet or any other soft material may also
cause damage.
DISCONNECT THE CABLES WHEN YOU MOVE THE MONITOR
When you move the monitor, turn off the power switch, unplug the monitor and be sure the signal cable
is disconnected. If you do not disconnect them, it may cause fire or electric shock.
UNPLUG THE MONITOR
If the monitor is not in use for a long period of time it is recommended that it is left unplugged to avoid
accidents.
HOLD THE PLUG WHEN DISCONNECTING
To disconnect the power cable or signal cable, always pull it by the plug. Never pull on the cable itself
as this may cause fire or electric shock.
DO NOT TOUCH THE PLUG WITH WET HANDS
Pulling or inserting the plug with wet hands may cause electric shock.
WHEN YOU INSTALL THE MONITOR ON YOUR COMPUTER
Be sure the computer is strong enough to hold the weight of the monitor, otherwise, you may damage
your computer.
DO NOT PUT FLOPPY DISKS NEAR THE SPEAKERS
Magnetically recorded data, such as on a floppy disk, may become corrupted by the magnetic field
produced by the speakers if the disks are placed on or near the speakers.
ERGONOMIC RECOMMENDATIONS
To eliminate eye fatigue, do not operate the monitor against a bright background or in a dark room.
For optimal viewing comfort, the monitor should be just below eye level and 40-60 cm (16-24 inches)
away from your eyes. When using the monitor over a prolonged time, a ten minute break every hour is
recommended as looking at the screen continuously can cause eye strain.

SCREEN ADJUSTMENTS
The screen adjustments described in this manual are designed to set image position and minimize
flicker or blur for the particular computer in use.
The monitor is designed to provide the best performance at resolution of 1680 × 1050, but can not
provide the best at resolutions of less than 1680 × 1050 because the picture is automatically stretched
to fit the full screen. It is recommended to operate at resolution of 1680 × 1050 in normal use.
Displayed text or lines will be blurred or irregular in thickness when the picture is stretched due to
the screen enlargement process.
It is preferable to adjust the image position and frequency with the monitor controls, rather than the
computer software or utilities.
Perform adjustments after a warm-up period of at least thirty minutes.
Additional adjustments may be required after the Auto Adjust depending on the resolution or signal
timing.
The Auto Adjust may not work correctly when displaying the picture other than the screen adjustment
pattern. In this case, manual adjustments are required.
There are two ways to adjust the screen. One way is automatic adjustment for Position, Clock and
Phase. The other way is performing each adjustment manually.
Perform the Auto Adjust first when the monitor is connected to a new computer, or resolution is
changed. If the screen has a flicker or blur, or the picture does not fit in the display area after
performing the Auto Adjust, manual adjustments are required. Both adjustments should be made by
using the screen adjustment pattern (Test.bmp) obtained via the IIYAMA web site (http://www.iiyama.
com).
Adjust the image by following the procedure below to get the desired picture.
This manual explains adjustment under Windows 95/98/2000/Me/XP/Vista.
ADisplay the picture at the optimum resolution.
BEnter the Test.bmp (screen adjustment pattern) to wallpaper.
NOTE Consult the appropriate documentation for doing this.
Test.bmp is made at resolution of 1280 × 1024. Set the display position to center in the
wallpaper setting dialogue box. If you use Microsoft®PLUS! 95/98 cancel the setting of
“Stretch desktop wallpaper to fit the screen”.
