CHAPTER 2
Installation
2.1 Unpacking
Before you unpack LCD Monitor, prepare a suitable workspace for your
Monitor and computer. You need a stable and clean surface near a wall
power outlet. Also ensure that LCD Monitor has enough space around it to
allow for airflow. Even though LCD Monitor uses very little power, some
ventilation is needed to ensure that the Monitor doesn’t become too hot.
After you unpack LCD Monitor, make sure the following items are
included in the box and in good condition.
♦=LCD Monitor mounted on its stand
♦=Monitor-to –PC 1.8M signal cable
♦=AC Adaptor
♦=Power cord
♦=This user’s manual
If you find that any of these items is missing or appears damaged, contact
your dealer immediately. Do not throw away the packing material or
shipping carton in case you need to ship or store LCD Monitor in the
future.

2.2 Positioning
Take a moment to prepare a suitable place to set up your workstation. You
need a stable flat dust-free surface with good ventilation. Even though LCD
Monitor has been designed using components that don’t use much power,
they still generate quite a bit of heat. Set up your LCD Monitor so that the
screen doesn’t face a window where sunlight often comes in. The reflection
of sunlight makes LCD Monitor screen difficult to read or view.
Warning!
•=When positioning the equipment, make sure that the main ports and sockets
are easily accessible.
•=Do not place your LCD Monitor close to a heat source.
•=Do not place the LCD Monitor in direct sun light or near a window. Moisture
and direct sunlight exposure may cause LCD monitor serious damage.
2.3 Connecting the AC Power Adaptor
1) Connecting the Power Cord to the AC Adaptor.
Plug the power cord into the receptacle of the Adaptor.
This power connector plugs into the LCD Monitor’s power conn port.

NOTE: DO NOT remove or defeat the plug ground (the third prong)
Note, for added protection, we recommend you use a “Surge Protector” device
plugged between the AC Adaptor and the electrical wall outlet to prevent the
effects of sudden current variations from reaching the LCD Monitor. The sudden
peaks of electricity are not good for the Monitor.
2.4 Set Up the LCD Monitor
Please follow the steps below to set up the LCD Monitor.
1) Step 1: Connect the Power Cord into the AC Adaptor.
2) Step 2: Connect the Power Connector cable between the AC Adaptor
and the LCD Monitor connector port located on the rear side of the
LCD Monitor.
3) Step 3: Plug the Power Cord from the adaptor into an electrical wall
outlet.
4) Step 4: Turn “ON” the LCD Monitor’s Power Switch.
2.5 Power Management System
This LCD Monitor complies with the VESA DPMS (version 1.0p)
power management proposal. The VESA DPMS proposal provides
four phases of power saving modes by detecting horizontal or vertical
sync signal. Please refer to Power Management section of
Specification on Appendix for power consumption at each different
mode.
