Before connecting the AC power cord to
the DC adapter outlet, make sure the
voltage designation of the DC adapter
corresponds to the local electrical supply.
2
Never insert anything metallic into the
cabinet openings of the Liquid Crystal
Display (LCD) monitor; doing so may
create the danger of electric shock.
3
To avoid electric shock, never touch the
inside of the LCD monitor. Only a
qualified technician should open the
case of the LCD monitor.
4
Never use your LCD monitor if the
power cord has been damaged. Do not
allow anything to rest on the power
cord, and keep the cord away from
areas where people can trip over it.
5
Be sure to hold the plug, not the cord,
when disconnecting the LCD monitor
from an electric socket.
6
Openings in the LCD monitor cabinet
are provided for ventilation. To prevent
overheating, these openings should not
be blocked or covered. Also, avoid
using the LCD monitor on a bed, sofa,
rug, or other soft surface. Doing so may
block the ventilation openings in the
bottom of the cabinet. If you put the
LCD monitor in a bookcase or some
other enclosed space, be sure to
provide adequate ventilation.
7
Put your LCD monitor in a location with
low humidity and a minimum of dust.
8
Do not expose the LCD monitor to rain
or use it near water (in kitchens, near
swimming pools, etc.). If the LCD
monitor accidentally gets wet, unplug it
and contact an authorized dealer
immediately. You can clean the LCD
monitor with a damp cloth when
necessary, but be sure to unplug the
LCD monitor first.
9
Place the LCD monitor on a solid
surface and treat it carefully. The
screen is made of thin glass with a
plastic front surface and can be
damaged if dropped, hit or scratched.
Do not clean the front panel with
keton-type materials (e.g., acetone),
ethyl alcohol, toluene, ethyl acid,
methyl, or chloride – these may
damage the panel.
10
Locate your LCD monitor near an easily
accessible AC outlet.
11
If your LCD monitor does not operate
normally – in particular, if there are any
unusual sounds or smells coming from
it – unplug it immediately and contact
an authorized dealer or service center.
12
High temperature can cause problems.
Don’t use your LCD monitor in direct
sunlight, and keep it away from
heaters, stoves, fireplaces, and other
sources of heat.
13
Unplug the LCD monitor when it is
going to be left unused for an extended
period of time.
14
Unplug your LCD monitor from the AC
outlet before any service.
CAUTION
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK
DO NOT OPEN
CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER
(OR BACK).
NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE.

Plug and Play
Our adoption of the new VESA
®
Plug and Play solution eliminates complicated and time
consuming setup. It allows you to install your monitor in a Plug and Play compatible system
without the usual hassles and confusion. Your PC system can easily identify and configure
itself for use with your display. This monitor automatically tells the PC system its Extended
Display Identification (EDID) data using Display Data Channel (DDC) protocols so the PC
system can automatically configure itself to use the flat panel display. If your PC system
needs a video driver, following the instructions given below according to the operating
system your computer uses.
Installing the Video Driver
When prompted by the operating system for the monitor driver, insert the Driver diskette
included with this monitor. Driver installation is slightly different from one operating system
to another. Follow the directions as appropriate for the operating system you have.

Self-Test Feature Check (STFC)
Your monitor provides a self test feature that allows you to check whether your monitor is
functioning properly. If your monitor and computer are properly connected but the monitor
screen remains dark and the power indicator is blinking, run the monitor self-test by
performing the following steps:
1
Turn off both your computer and the monitor.
2
Unplug the video cable from the back of the computer.
3
Turn on the monitor.
Setting up Your Monitor
4_E50Sbody.fm Page 8 Thursday, July 12, 2001 11:39 AM

If the monitor is functioning properly, you will see a white box with a red border and black
text inside as shown in the following illustration:
Figure 5. Monitor self test screen
The three boxes inside the border are red, green and blue. Failure of any of the boxes to
appear indicates a problem with your monitor. This box also appears during normal operation
if the video cable becomes disconnected or damaged.
4
Turn off your monitor and reconnect the video cable; then turn on both your computer
and the monitor.
If your monitor screen remains blank after using the previous procedure, check your video
controller and computer system; your monitor is functioning properly.
Getting Help
If your monitor does not display an image, check your cable connections and refer to
“Troubleshooting” on page 19. If you experience difficulties with the quality of the displayed
image, run Auto Adjustment (see page 11) and refer to “Adjusting Your LCD Monitor” on
page 10 or “Troubleshooting” on page 19.
Warm-up Time
All LCD monitors need time to become thermally stable the first time you turn them on each
day. Therefore, to achieve more accurate adjustments for parameters, allow the LCD monitor
to warm (be on) for at least 20 minutes before making any screen adjustments.

Automatic Save
Whenever you open the on-screen display and allow an adjustment window to remain active
for about 3 seconds without pressing another button, the monitor automatically saves any
adjustments you have made. These changes are saved into a user area in the monitor. User
areas are reserved according to the signal frequency from your computer. The monitor can
save adjustments for up to 5 user modes. It has 12 factory preset or preload modes, one for
each signal frequency as listed in "Display Modes" on page 25.
If you have made no adjustments, the on-screen display disappears and the monitor does not
save anything. To exit without saving the changes you have made, press the EXIT button
before the 3 seconds elapse.
Direct-Access Features
The features described in this section can be accessed quickly, at the touch of one button.
Once you finish making adjustments to a feature, push the EXIT button to turn off the menu
or allow the OSD to time-out and disappear automatically
Auto Adjustment
Even though your computer system can recognize your new LCD monitor, the auto adjustment
function will optimize the display settings for use with your computer.
Follow these instructions to activate the automatic
screen adjustments for your monitor.
1
Push the AUTO button. The automatic
adjustment display appears and the slidebar
moves to indicate progress during the auto
adjustment procedure.
NOTE: 1. For Auto Adjustment to function correctly, the monitor must display a full screen,
colored image such as the Windows desktop.
2. Even though Auto Adjustment sets most image adjustments automatically,
distortions may remain depending on the video board performance. After using Auto
Adjustment, we recommend that you perfect the image by using the OSD functions.

PowerSaver
This monitor has a built-in power management system called PowerSaver. This system saves
energy by switching your monitor into a low-power mode when it has not been used for a
certain amount of time. The available modes are “On”, “Standby”, “Sleep”, and “Deep
Sleep”. PowerSaver operates with a VESA DPMS compliant video card installed in your
computer. You use a software utility installed on your computer to set up this feature. See
Table 4 below for details.
Table 4. Power-saving modes
