Precautions
«Installation Place>
O Do not expose the display unit to direct sunlight or heat such as the hot air of a heater. Hot air will
cause damage to the cabinet and other parts.
O
Do not place anything on top of the ventilation holes of the display unit and do not install the unit
where ventilation is hindered.
o
Do not install the display unit near the motor or transformer, etc. where strong magnetism is gen-
erated. When magnetism is applied to the display unit, the image will be distorted and the color
will become irregular.
O The display unit should be installed on a solid horizontal base.
< Safety Precautions>
O The back cover of the display unit should not be removed, except by a serviceman.
If you touch the high voltage parts inside the display unit, you will receive an electric shock.
O Pay adequate attention so that no metal pieces, such as staple pins, fall into the display unit from
the ventilation holes.

1. This Monitor is a multi-scan color CRT display in which both the horizontal deflection frequency
and vertical deflection frequency can automatically follows the frequency range between 30-64
kHz and 50-90 Hz respectively.
2. Pre-set compatibility correspond to VGA 350, VGA 400, VGA 480, MACH Super-VGA, 8514 / A,
standard 1024 dot X 768 lines and standard 1280 dot X 1024 lines.
3. This display can store 16 types of timing. (Eight types are already set at the Factory and the re-
maining 8 types are custom to the user.)
4. Universal power supply of AC 90 — 264 V.
5. The signaling system (separate, composite, sync on green) and polarity of the synchronizing sig-
nals are automatically selected.
6. Dual signal input connectors.
15 pin mini D-sub connector and BNC connector X 5
7. High contrast high resolution CRT treated with an ANTI-GLARE Silica coating ESF (Electro-Static
Field) is used.
8. The horizontal size and position as well as the vertical size and the position of the image can be
adjusted using the digital operation buttons located at the front.
Connections
1. Install the display unit at a solid horizontal base and to avoid any reflection of direct sunlight or
fluorescent light on the display screen, adjust the angle.
2. When connecting the display unit to a computer, turn the power off of both units in advance.
3. Connect the power cable and signal cables as indicated in the figure below. Fasten the screw of
the 15 pin mini D-sub connector with your fingers.
4. Switch the signal connector select switch to the signal connector of the connecting computer.
When the switch is pushed upwards, the 15 pin mini D-sub connector is selected.
5. Turn on the power of the display unit first, and then turn on the power of the computer.

E Connection of AC Power Supply
€ lf the AC power voltage is within the range of 90-264 V, it can be used regardless of the differ-
ence of line frequency (50 Hz or 60 Hz). There is no voltage select switch between the AC 100 V
system and the AC 200 V system.
Precautions:
O In order to use the display unit safely, use a power cable that is properly grounded.
O The attached power cable is accepted by both the American UL standard and the the Ca-
nadian CSA standard.
O For safety, use the power cable which conforms with the safety standard of each country.

Signal Connection
The signal connector should be connected as follows according to the type of signal connector
and the signaling system used.
A. When the Signal Connector is 15 Pin Mini D-Sub (In the Case of PS/2 or compatible)
Connect the signal cable to the 15 pin mini D-sub connector of the display unit.
Push the signa! connector select switch upwards.
B. When the Signal Connector is a 15 pin D-Sub Connector (In the case of MAC-II)
Convert the 15 pin D-sub connector of the MAC-II to a 15 pin mini D-sub connector using a con-
version connector, and then connect it to the 15 pin mini D-sub connector of the display unit.
Push the signal connector select switch upwards.
Check if the change-over connector is connected as shown in the following figure.
