through cabinet slots. They may cause accident fire, electric shock  
or failure.  
Disconnect the power plug from the AC outlet if you will not use it  
for an extended period of time.  
Do not attempt to service this product yourself, as opening or  
removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage points or  
other risks.  
Do not touch the screen directly with your fingers. You may  
damage the screen, and oil from your skin is difficult to remove.  
Do not apply pressure to screen. The LCD panel is very delicate.

service may be required.  
4. Power and extension cords  
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord.  
Do not locate this product where persons will walk over the cord.  
Use the proper power cord with correct attachment plug type. If the  
power source is 120V AC, use a power cord that has UL and C-UL  
approvals. If the power source is a 240V AC supply, use the tandem  
(T blade) type attachment plug with ground conductor power cord  
that meets the respective European countrys safety regulations,  
such as VDE for Germany.  
Do not over load wall outlets or power cords. Ensure that the total  
of all units plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed 10 amperes.  
Ensure that the total ampere ratings on all units plugged into the  
extension cord is not above the cords rating.  
If the power supply cord, which came with your monitor, is to be  
connected to the PC instead of the wall outlet, Use an UL/TUV  
approved computers with receptacle rated 100~240V AC, 50/60Hz,  
1.0A (minimum) only.

4. Display Modes  
Micro-controller Features  
The micro-controller automatically detects the video board installed in your  
system. When you turn on the monitor, the micro-controller checks the  
display mode memory stored in the user setting area of the video board, and  
then the factory presetting area. It then adjusts to the proper display mode.  
The micro-controller has the memory capacity to store different display  
modes, including timing formats and display-settings. This memory capacity  
is divided into two parts: the user setting area and the factory presetting area.  
User Setting Area  
The user settings by the user on the last display mode maintain in the memory  
of the micro-controller. You can change the settings or add a nonstandard mode.  
The micro-controller always detects and displays the last mode stored in the user  
setting area when the monitor is turned on.  
Factory Presetting Area  
There are some preferred display modes preset in the micro-controller. These  
display modes are preset at the factory and include the most popular display  
modes currently available. The micro-controller searches for a proper display  
mode in this area if it fails to find a proper display mode in the user setting  
area.

11. Trouble Shooting  
1) Power on but no picture  
Make sure the VGA cable is tightly connected from the video output  
connector on the video card to the video input connector on the monitor.  
Make sure you are using the standard power adapter coming with the  
monitor.  
Check your video card if the driver is correctly installed. If there is no video  
signal from the video card, NO INPUT SIGNALwill show on the screen.  
2) Wrong or abnormal colors  
If any color (red, green, or blue) is missing, check video cable to make sure  
it is securely connected. Loose pins in the cable connector can cause a bad  
connection.  
3) The text and icon look blurry  
LCD monitor has a native resolution which pixels are produced by cells in  
fixed positions. When a resolution different from the native resolution is  
chosen, the LCD monitor uses various interpolation methods to achieve the  
pseudo resolution. To achieve the optimum viewing quality, choose the native  
resolution of the panel is recommended.  
Use Auto Tuningfunction to adjust image quality on the OSD menu or  
you can hold button 2 for 3 seconds to do auto tuning.  
4) Display position is incorrect  
Use Auto Tuningfunction to adjust image position on the OSD menu or  
you can hold button 2 for 3 seconds to do auto tuning.  
5) Speakers have no sound  
Make sure the audio cable is tightly connected from the audio output jack on  
the PC to the audio input jack on the monitor.  
18  
 
6) Residue image  
If an image remains on the screen for an extended period of time, it may be  
imprinted in the screen and leave a residue image. It is characteristic of liquid  
crystal and is not malfunction or deterioration of the liquid crystal. The residue  
image will disappear after a period of time. It is recommended to set up the  
screen saver for your LCD monitor.  
7) Out of Rang  
The first thing you need to check is the screen resolution. Usually Out of  
Rangeis caused by improper resolution setting. You can recover the proper  
screen resolution as the following steps for Windows: (Assumed that the  
optimal resolution and frequency setting is 1280x1024@ 60Hz.)  
Boot the computer into VGA Mode (F8) [repeatedly] at startup.  
Go to Control Panel, double click on Display, click on the SETTINGS  
TAB, and click on the ADVANCED button.  
Then Click on the Adapter TAB, click List All Modesand change the  
screen resolution to 1280x1024. (You can select 16 bit or 32 bit color which  
depends on your video card capability.)  
Select 1280 by 1024, High Color (16 bit), Default Refresh”  
Click on the OKand APPLY.  
After clicking the APPLY button, a message will be displayed Your desktop  
has been reconfigured. Do you want to keep these settings?”  
Click Yesand OK. Then click OKon the Display Properties window.  
Restart your PC  
After you restart, go back to List All Modesto adjust your screen refresh  
rate to 60 Hertz.  
19  
 
The Out of Rangemay happen if you switch monitor A to monitor B for  
your PC. Whenever you change the monitor for your PC, your PC may detect  
it as a new hardware and automatically install a proper driver for the monitor.  
So, you will have both monitor A and monitor B drivers on your PC.  
Sometimes the two monitor drivers may conflict each other and cause Out of  
Range. You can resolve Out of Rangeby uninstalling both monitor drivers  
and reboot your PC. The Windows will automatically detect the new  
hardware and install a proper driver for the monitor. Here is a quick way to  
uninstall the monitor drivers:  
Right click on My Computer, select Propertiesand click on  
Hardware. Click on Device Manager, select Monitorand click on  
+in front of Monitor. Then you can see one of the monitor drivers called  
Plug and Play Monitor. A quick way is to uninstall all the monitor  
drivers and then let Windows automatically detect the new hardware. (Right  
click on the monitor driver and select Uninstall).  
Restart your PC
