to this equipment may void the user's authority to operate it.
• This equipment has been type tested and Found to comply with
the limits [or a Class B Digital Device in accordance with the
specifications in Part 15 of the FCC rules. These rules are designed
to provide reasonable protection against radio and television
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates
and can radiate radio frequency and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harm|hl inter|_'rence
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation.
If this equipment does cause interference to the radio or television
reception {which you can determine by turning the equipment off
and on), try to correct the inter|_rence by one or more of the
Following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna {that is, the antenna [or
the radio or television that is "receiving" the interference}.
• Change the position of the monitor with respect to the radio or
television equipment that is receiving the interference.
• Move the monitor away From the equipment receiving the
interference.
Plug the monitor into a different wall outlet so the receiver and
the equipment are on different branch circuits.
1f these measures do not eliminate interference, please consult
your dealer or an experienced radio/television technician [or
additional suggestions. Also, the Federal Communications

Warnings and Safety Precautions
The monitor is designed and manufactured to provide long, trouble-
flee service. No maintenance other than cleaning is required. Use a
soil dry cloth to clean the panel. Never use solvents such as alcohol
or thinner to clean the panel surface.
The display panel consists of fine picture elements (cells). Although
the display panels are produced with more than 99.99 percent active
cells, there may be some ceils that do not produce light or remain lit.
For operating safety and to avoid damage to the unit, read carefiJlly
and observe the following instructions.
To avoid shock and fire hazards:
1. Provide adequate space |br ventilation to avoid internal heat
build-up. Do not cover rear vents or install in a closed cabinet or
shelves.
The unit is equipped with cooling fans. lfyou install the unit in
an enclosure, be sure there is adequate space at the top of the
unit to allow hot air to rise and escape.
If the monitor becomes too hot, the overheat protector will be
activated and the monitor will be turned of['. If this happens, turn
off the power to the monitor and un-plug the power cord. If the
room where the monitor is installed is particularly hot, move the
monitor to a cooler location, and wait |br the monitor to cool For
60 minutes.
If the problem persists, contact your dealer lbr service.
2. Do not use the power cord plug with extension cords or outlets
unless all prongs can be completely inserted.
3. Do not expose unit to water or moisture.
4. Avoid damage to the power cord, and do not attempt to modify
the power cord.
5. Unplug unit during electrical storms or if unit will not be used
over a long period.
6. Do not open the unit which has potentially dangerous high
voltage components inside. If the unit is damaged from opening
the cabinet the warranty will be void. Moreover, there is a serious
risk of electric shock.
7. Do not attempt to service or repair the unit. Tram is not liable for
any bodily harm or damage caused if unqualified persons attempt
service or open the back cover. Rei?r all service to authorized
Service Centers.
IMPORTANTTIPS:Caringfor Your
Monitor
Toavoiddamageandprolongoperatinglife:
I. Use only with 120V 50/60Hz AC power supply. Continued
operation at line voltages greater than 120 Volts AC will shorten
the lif? of the unit, and might cause a fire hazard.
2. Handle the unit carefiJlly when installing it.
]. Locate set away from heat, excessive dust, and direct sunlight.
4. Protect the inside of the unit from liquids and small metal objects.
In case of accident, unplug the unit and have it serviced by an
authorized service centeL
5. Do not hit or scratch the panel surface as this causes flaws on the
surface of the screen.
6. For correct installation and mounting it is strongly recommended
to use a trained, authorized dealer.
7. Like all phosphor-based display devices, monitors can be
susceptible to uneven phosphor aging under certain
circumstances. Certain operating conditions, such as the
continuous display of a static image over a prolonged period of
time, can result in uneven phosphor aging if proper precautions
are not taken. To protect your investment in this monitor, please
adhere to the following guidelines and recommendations Ibr
minimizing the occurrence of uneven phosphor aging:
• Always enable and use your computer's screen saver function
during use with a computer input source.
• Display a moving image whenever possible.
• Always power down the monitor when you are finished using it.
• If viewing with a 4/3 aspect ratio |br long periods of time, set side
gray level at 3 or 4.
If the monitor isin long term useor continuousoperation take the following
measuresto reducethe likelihoodof uneven phosphoraging:
• Lower the BRIGHTNESS and CONTRAST levels as much as possible
without impairing image readability.
• Display an image with many colors and color gradations (i.e.
photographic or photo-realistic images).
• Create image content with minimal contrast between light and
dark areas (lbr example, white characters on black backgrounds).
Use complementary or pastel color whenever possible.
• Avoid displaying images with l?w colors and distinct, sharply
defined borders between colors.

Usin9Your Remote Control
Use your remote control from a distance of about 7m/23 feet from the
monitor's remote control sensor and at a horizontal angle of within 30°. The
remote operates on line of sight, so if there is anything blocking the path
between the remote and the remote control sensor on the front of the
monitor, the remote may not work.
• Don't expose the remote control sensor on the front of the monitor to
direct sunlight or strong artificial light.
• Don't get the remote control wet.
• Avoid heat and humidity.
• When not using the remote for a long period of time, remove the batteries.
Programming the Remote
The universal remote control that came with your monitor is already
programmed to operate most RCA,GE, and PROSCANVCRs, DVD players,
laserdisc players, and satellite receivers. This remote is also capable of
operating many other brands of remote-controllable electronic components,
but you must program it to do so.
Find Out If You Need to Program the Remote
To determine whether the universal remote needs to be programmed, turn on
one of your components, such as a VCR. Point the remote control at the
component and press the component button {forexample, the VCR button}.
Now press the ON-OFF button on the remote. If the component doesn't turn
ofF, you need to program the remote control in order for it to operate that
component.
How to Program the Remote
1. Turn on the component you want the remote to operate (the red light on the remote turns on).
2. Look up the brand and code number(s} for the component on the code liston the following pages.
3. Press and hold the component button that corresponds to the component you want the remote to
operate {VCR,RCADVI), etc.).
4. Enter the code from the code list. When you begin entering numbers, the red light on the remote
turns off. When the last number is entered, the red light turns back on. If the incorrect code is
entered, the red light will flash.
5. Release the component button. The red light on the remote turns off.
6. Press ON-OFF to see if the component responds to the remote commands. If it doesn't, try pressing
the component button and then ON.OFF again.
6. lfyou get no response, repeat these steps using the next code listed for your brand, until the
component responds to the remote commands.
