Precautions

Warning on power connections
Use the supplied power cord. If you use a different power cord, be sure that it is compatible with your local power supply. For the customers in the UK If you use the monitor in the UK, be sure to use the supplied UK power cable.

Example of plug types

Use of the stand
Insert the supplied stand into the groove to adjust the angle of the monitor. You can use the stand in either the vertical or horizontal position. If you do not need the stand for this purpose, you can use it as a convenient CD rack.

for 100 to 120 V AC

for 200 to 240 V AC

for 240 V AC only

Before disconnecting the power cord, wait at least 30 seconds after turning off the power to allow the static electricity on the screens 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. The equipment should be installed near an easily accessible outlet.

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 near heat sources such as radiators or air ducts, or in a place 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 screens coating. Do not rub, touch, or tap the surface of the screen with sharp or abrasive items such as a ballpoint pen or screwdriver. This type 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, scouring powder or solvent, such as alcohol or benzene.

Transportation

When you transport this monitor for repair or shipment, use the original carton and packing materials.

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 monitors memory to provide a high quality picture at the center of the screen. (See Appendix for a list of the factory preset modes.) For input signals that do not match one of the factory preset modes, the digital Multiscan technology of this monitor ensures that a clear picture appears on the screen for any timing in the monitors frequency range (horizontal: kHz, vertical: 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.

Troubleshooting

Before contacting technical support, refer to this section.
If thin lines appear on your screen (damper wires)
The visible lines on your screen especially when the background screen color is light (usually white), are normal for the Trinitron monitor. This is not a malfunction. These are shadows from the damper wires used to stabilize the aperture grille. 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.

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.
