Note Always remove the tilt and swivel base before packing and transporting the monitor.
Selecting a Location for the Monitor Follow these guidelines when you select a location for the monitor: Follow the safety instructions listed at the beginning of this manual. Use a large, sturdy desk that can support the weight of your computer, monitor, and peripheral devices and provides ample space to hold your equipment and work materials.

8. Turn the monitor around so the screen faces you and use the tilt and swivel base to adjust the position of the screen for comfortable viewing. Note You can also connect your monitor to an Apple® Macintosh® computer using an appropriate cable and/or adapter. Purchase these items at a computer accessory store. Turning On the Monitor Turn on the monitor by pressing the power button located at the front right of the monitor, as shown below. The monitor’s power indicator lights up.
The power indicator light is green when the monitor is drawing full power. When the monitor is in low-power mode, the power indicator is amber. Accessing the Monitor Controls The image control box contains the image controls for the monitor. It is located at the bottom left of the monitor. To access the controls, you need to open the control box cover. Place your finger on the raised dots at the center of the cover and push in until you hear the cover latch click.
Adjusting Monitor Controls The controls and indicators in the control box are shown below. klkllHl~~ o+y~o lxJoelol3n SELECT DOWN UP DEGAUSS The following table describes the monitor controls, including the digital adjustment buttons, the brightness and contrast dials, and the six available screen parameter settings that adjust the screen image. Each screen parameter setting is marked by an indicator light and corresponding icon.
Monitor controls (continued) Monitor control RECALL RECALL 1 en DOWN UP DEGAUSS button Function Recallsone of three factory recallvideo modeswhen you simultaneously press the UP and DOWN buttons. Factory recallvideo modes are included in the seven predefined video modes the monitor reserves in memory. The difference is that, while you can adjust the screen parameter settings of any video mode, only factory recall modes are restorable to their original factory settings should you want to return to them.
Monitor controls (continued) Monitor control Function Horizontal position LED Centersthe screen image horizontally. Press the UP button to move the image left or the DOWN button to move the image right. 0 cl En Width LED Adjusts the width of the screen image. Press the DOWN button to decrease the width of the image or E3l Vertical El-I Centersthe screen image vertically.
Monitor controls (continued) Monitor control Function Trapezoid (keystoning) LED Adjusts the slope of the verticalscreen image edges. Press the DOWN button to decrease the width of the bottom edge. Press the UP button to increase the width of the bottom edge. Caution Pressing SELECT to leave a screen parameter (or turning the monitor off while the parameter is still lit) automatically saves any changes you made to that screen parameter.
Once the monitor has chosen the appropriate video mode to use, you may need to adjust or “fine-tune” the screen image using the SELECT and UP and DOWN digital buttons. These buttons control the distortion, width, height, and horizontal and vertical positions of the image on the screen. Every time you adjust one of these screen parameters, the monitor redefines the video mode to reflect your new settings. In this way, you continually customize the monitor’s video modes to suit your screen images.
When the monitor is about to delete a mode, all the parameter indicators blink until you adjust one or more of the screen parameters, indicating that you want the monitor to recognize and save a user-defined mode. See the “Adjusting the Screen Image” section below for instructions on how to adjust screen parameters. The monitor accepts interlaced timing rates.
Note If you aren’t satisfied with the screen parameters you’ve set, or want to begin again, you can only abort the current settings if the monitor is using a factory recall video mode. Try the RECALL button (UP and DOWN buttons); if the monitor screen resets, you can begin again. If the monitor screen stays the same, you cannot abort your current settings. Cleaning the Monitor To keep the monitor operating at its best, it is important to clean it regularly. Follow these steps: 1.
