For digital input, setup is not required.
When you first use your monitor you must perform Auto Setup. This procedure
set up your monitor to process the video signals from your computer without
image discoloration or smearing. After you perform Auto Setup, the settings are
stored and used each time you turn on the monitor.
In order to optimise the displayed image a set-up utility is provided on the
IBM Monitor Installation Diskette. Operation of this utility is dependent on the
operating system on your computer. You may choose to run AUTO SETUP for
each operating system that you use. This means that if you sometimes use
your monitor while running any version of Windows and sometimes also use it
from within DOS (not a DOS window), you must run AUTO SETUP for both
Windows and DOS. You may run versions of AUTO SETUP in any order.
Before you begin AUTO SETUP for your computer:
1. Make a backup copy of the setup diskettes supplied with the monitor.
2. Make sure the computer video mode is set in the range of the
supported screen resolution shown in the table on page18.
You should perform AUTO SETUP for each screen mode you use.

The Auto Setup
instructions require the

minutes. This is not required
for normal operation.
i
If your computer does not
run with the setup
diskettes shipped with the
