FCC Statement Warning

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: Reposition or relocate the receiving antenna. Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. Consult the dealer or an experienced monitor technician for help. Warning Use only shielded signal cables to connect I/O devices to this equipment. You are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void your authority to operate the equipment.

Canadian DOC Notice

This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment
Regulations. Cet appareil numrique de la classe B repecte toutes les exigences du Rglement sur le matriel brouilleur du Canada.

This LCD Monitor has pre-adjusted using factory standard VGA timings. Due to the output timing differences among various VGA cards in the market, users may initially experience an unstable or unclear display whenever a new display mode or new VGA card is selected. Attention
This LCD Monitor Supports Multiple VGA Modes. Refer to the Standard Timing Table for a listing of modes supported by this LCD Monitor.

Troubleshooting

PROBLEM Picture is unclear and unstable The picture is unclear and unstable, please perform the following steps :
1. Enter PC to Shut Down Windows status while youre in MS-Windows environment, except Windows XP. In Windows XP open the specific application where the problems appear. 2. Check the screen to see if theres any black vertical stripes appear. If there are, take advantage of the Clock function in OSD menu and adjust (by increment or decrement numbers) until those bars disappear. 3. Move to Phase function in OSD menu again and adjust the monitor screen to its most clear display. 4. Click No on Shut Down Windows and back to the normal PC operating environment.
PROBLEM There is no picture on LCD Monitor If theres no picture on the LCD Monitor, please perform the following steps:
1. Make sure the power indicator on the LCD Monitor is ON, all connections are secured, and the system is running on the correct timing. Refer to Chapter 3 for information on timing. 2. Turn off the LCD Monitor and then turn it back on again. If there is still no picture, press the Adjustment Control button several times. 3. If step 2 doesnt work, connect your PC system to another external CRT. If your PC system Functions properly with a CRT Monitor but it does not function with the LCD Monitor, the output timing of the VGA card may be out of the LCDs synchronous range. Please change to an alternative mode listed in the Standard Timing Table or replace the VGA card, and then repeat steps 1 and 2. If you have chosen an output timing that is outside of the LCD Monitors synchronous range, the OSD will display a Out of Range message. Choose a mode that is supported by your LCD Monitor. Also, if the signal cable is not connected to LCD monitor at all or properly, the monitor screen will display a message No Input Signal.

PROBLEM

There is no picture on LCD Monitor

The clock value may not be 0 after Auto Adjustment when the input timing is different from supported timing. Push the or button to select a different color temperature. Please see the diagram below for function and description. This function moves the OSD menu window horizontally. This function moves the OSD menu window vertically. Because the H and V-Frequencies of both 640 x 400 70Hz, and 720 x 400 70Hz, are the same, this function let's you manually select either 640 x 400 (graphics mode), or 720 x 400 (text mode). The recall function will return all adjusted parameters to factory preset values. Nine OSD language options are available:

Color Temperature OSD H. Position OSD V. Position Graph / Text Recall

Language

English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Japan, Russian, Simplified Chinese and Traditional Chinese. Press the or adjustment control button to select other language.

Auto Adjustment

The Auto Adjustment function let you adjust the display size, clock and phase to obtain the best viewing settings. This process will take 3 ~ 5 seconds to complete. Attention: After Auto Adjustment, the display might display wrong position or size, if it has received a pattern which has no screen border. Saves the values of this setting and exits the OSD menu function.

Troubleshooting

This LCD Monitor has pre-adjusted using factory standard VGA timings. Due to the output timing differences among various VGA cards in the market, users may initially experience an unstable or unclear display whenever a new display mode or new VGA card is selected.
This LCD Monitor Supports Multiple VGA Modes. Refer to the Standard Timing Table for a listing of modes supported by this LCD Monitor.

PROBLEM

Picture is unclear and unstable
The picture is unclear and unstable, please perform the following steps: 1. Enter PC to Shut Down Windows status while youre in MS-Windows environment, except Windows XP. In Windows XP open the specific application where the problems appear. 2. Check the screen to see if theres any black vertical stripes appear. If there are, take advantage of the Clock function in OSD menu and adjust (by increment or decrement numbers) until those bars disappear. 3. Move to Phase function in OSD menu again and adjust the monitor screen to its most clear display. 4. Click No on Shut Down Windows and back to the normal PC operating environment.
There is no picture on LCD Monitor
If theres no picture on the LCD Monitor, please perform the following steps: 1. Make sure the power indicator on the LCD Monitor is ON, all connections are secured and the system is running on the correct timing. Refer to Chapter 3 for information on timing. 2. Turn off the LCD Monitor and then turn it back on again. If there is still no picture, press the Adjustment Control button several times. 3. If step 2 doesnt work, connect your PC system to another external CRT. If your PC system Functions properly with a CRT Monitor but it does not function with the LCD Monitor, the output timing of the VGA card may be out of the LCDs synchronous range. Please change to an alternative mode listed in the Standard Timing Table or replace the VGA card, and then repeat steps 1 and 2.
If you have chosen an output timing that is outside of the LCD Monitors synchronous range (Horizontal: 24 ~ 80 kHz and Vertical: 49 ~ 75 Hz), the OSD will display an Out of Range message. Choose a mode that is supported by your LCD Monitor. Also, if the signal cable is not connected to LCD monitor at all or properly, the monitor screen will display a message No Input Signal.
