be sure that it is compatible with your local power supply.
For the customers in the UK
If you usethe monitor in the UK,be sure to use thesuppliedUK
power cable.
• Before disconnecting the power cord, wait at least 30 seconds
after turning off the power to allow the static electricity on the
screen’s surface to discharge.
• After the power is turned on, the screen is demagnetized
(degaussed) for about 5 seconds. This generates a strong
magnetic field around the screen which may affect data stored
on magnetic tapes and disks placed near the monitor. Be sure to
keep magnetic recording equipment, tapes, and disks away
from the monitor.
Installation
Do not install the monitor in the following places:
• on surfaces (rugs, blankets, etc.) or near materials (curtains,
draperies, etc.) that may block the ventilation holes

subject to direct sunlight
• in a place subject to severe temperature changes
• in a place subject to mechanical vibration or shock
• on an unstable surface
• near equipment which generates magnetism, such as a
transformer or high voltage power lines
• near or on an electrically charged metal surface
Maintenance
• Clean the screen with a soft cloth. If you use a glass cleaning
liquid, do not use any type of cleaner containing an anti-static
solution or similar additive as this may scratch the screen’s
coating.
• Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen with sharp or
abrasive itemssuch as a ballpoint pen or screwdriver. Thistype
of contact may result in a scratched picture tube.
• Clean the cabinet, panel and controls with a soft cloth lightly
moistened with a mild detergent solution. Do not use any type
of abrasive pad, scouringpowder or solvent,such as alcohol or
benzene.

Technical Features
Preset and user modes
When the monitor receives an input signal, it automatically
matches the signal to one of the factory preset modes stored in the
monitor’s memory to provide a high quality picture atthe center of
the screen.
(See Appendix for a list of the factory preset modes.)
Forinputsignals thatdonot matchone of thefactory presetmodes,
the digital Multiscan technology of this monitor ensures that a
clear picture appears on the screen for any timing in the monitor’s
frequency range (horizontal: 30 – 96 kHz, vertical: 48 – 120 Hz).
If the picture is adjusted, the adjustment data is stored as a user
mode and automatically recalled whenever the same input signal
is received.
Note for Windows users
For Windows users, check your video board manual or the utility
program which comes with your graphic board and select the
highest available refresh rate to maximize monitor performance.
Power saving function
This monitor meets the power-saving guidelines set by VESA,
E
NERGY
S
TAR, and NUTEK. If the monitor is connected to a
computer or video graphics board that is DPMS (Display Power
ManagementSignaling)compliant,themonitorwill automatically
reduce power consumption in three stages as shown below
.
* “Sleep” and “deep sleep” are power saving modes defined by the
Environmental Protection Agency.
** When your computer is in a power saving mode, MONITOR IS IN
POWER SAVE MODE appears on the screen if you press any button
on the monitor. After a few seconds, the monitor enters the power
saving mode again.
Troubleshooting
Before contacting technical support, refer to this section.
If thin lines appear on your screen
(damper wires)
The lines you are experiencing on your screen are normal for the
Trinitron monitor and are not a malfunction. These are shadows
from the damper wires used to stabilize the aperture grille and are
most noticeable when the screen’s background is light (usually
white). The aperture grille is the essential element that makes a
Trinitron picture tube unique by allowing more light to reach the
screen, resulting in a brighter, more detailed picture.
On-screen messages
If no picture appears on the screen, one of the following messages
appears on the screen. To solve the problem, see “Trouble
symptoms and remedies” on page 16.
The input signal condition

Précautions
Avertissement sur le raccordement à la source
d’alimentation
• Utilisez le cordon d’alimentation fourni. Si vous utilisez un
cordon d’alimentation différent, assurez-vous qu’il est
compatible avec votre tension d’alimentation secteur locale.
Pour les clients au Royaume-Uni
SivousutilisezcemoniteurauRoyaume-Uni,utilisezle cordon
d’alimentation fourni au Royaume-Uni.
• Avant de débrancher le cordon d’alimentation, attendez au
moins 30 secondes après avoir actionné le commutateur
d’alimentation de manière à permettre la décharge de
l’électricité statique à la surface de l’écran.
• Après que le courant a été branché, l’écran est démagnétisé
pendant environ 5 secondes. Cela génère un puissant champ
magnétique autour de l’encadrement métallique qui peut
affecter les données mémorisées sur une bande magnétique ou
des disquettes situées à proximité. Placez ces systèmes
d’enregistrement magnétique, bandes et disquettes à l’écart du
moniteur.
Installation
N’installez pas le moniteur dans les endroits suivants:
• sur des surfaces molles (moquette, nappe, etc.) ou à proximité
de tissus (rideaux, tentures, etc.) qui risquent d’obstruer les
orifices de ventilation
• à proximité de sources de chaleur comme des radiateurs ou des
conduits d’air, ni dans un endroit directement exposé au
rayonnement solaire
• sujet à de fortes variations de température
• soumis à des vibrations ou à des chocs mécaniques
• sur une surface instable
• à proximité d’appareils générant un champ magnétique comme
un transformateur ou des lignes à haute tension
• à proximité de ou sur une surface métallique chargée
électriquement
Entretien
• Nettoyez l’écran à l’aide d’un chiffon doux. Si vous utilisez un
produit nettoyant pour vitres, n’utilisez aucun type de produit
contenant une solution antistatique ou des additifs similaires
parce que vous risquez de rayer le revêtement de l’écran.
• Ne frottez pas, ne touchez pas et ne tapotez pas la surface de
l’écran avec des objets abrasifs ou aux arêtes vives comme un
stylo à bille ou un tournevis. Ce type de contact risque en effet
de rayer le tube image.
• Nettoyez le châssis, le panneau et les commandes à l’aide d’un
chiffon doux légèrement imprégné d’une solution détergente
neutre. N’utilisez jamais de tampons abrasifs, de poudre à
récurer ou de solvants tels que de l’alcool ou du benzène.
