Use of the Tilt-Swivel  
This monitor can be adjusted within the angles shown  
below.  
Hold the monitor at the bottom with both hands when  
you turn it horizontally or vertically. Be careful not  
to pinch your fingers at the back of the monitor when  
you tilt the monitor up vertically.  
PRECAUTIONS  
Installation  
Do not install the monitor in the following places:  
on surface (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 a magnetically charged metal surface.  
in a small space around the top, bottom and sides  
of the monitor that may block the ventilation holes.

Maintenance  
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  
benzine.  
Note  
Do not remove the tilt-swivel base from the monitor.  
Power connection Information  
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 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.  
Use an appropriate power cord for your local power  
supply.  
Before disconnecting the power cord, wait at least  
30 seconds after turning off the power to allow  
the static electricity on the CRT display surface to  
discharge.  
After the power has been turned on, the CRT is  
demagnetized (degaussed) for a few seconds. This  
generates a strong magnetic field around the metal  
frame, which may affect the data stored on  
magnetic tapes and disks near the bezel. Place  
magnetic recording equipment, tapes, and disks  
away from this monitor.  
Transportation  
When you transport this monitor for repair or  
shipment, use the original carton and packing  
materials.  
The equipment should be installed near an easily  
accessible electrical outlet.

SETUP  
UNPACKING PROCEDU  
This monitor works with platforms running at  
horizontal frequencies between 30 and 69 kHz.  
2.  
1.  
Step 1: Install the monitor

4.  
3.  
5.  
Step 2: Connect your monitor to your  
computer  
Turn off the monitor and computer and  
unplug the computer power cord before  
connecting. Connect the video signal cable to  
the video output of your computer  
REREPACKING  
Save the original box and all packing material for  
future shipping needs.  
The 15-pin D-shell signal connector on the  
signal cable will connect easily to the video  
adapter output on your personal computer.  
Tighten both screws on the connector to  
ensure a firm connection.  
Note  
Do not touch the pins of the video signal  
cable connector as this might bend the pins.  
When connecting the video signal cable,  
check the alignment of the video input  
connector. Do not force the video input  
connector in the wrong way or the pins might  
bend.  
 
US-4  
Workplace Preparation  
Step 3: Connect the power cord  
With the monitor and computer turned off, first  
connect the proper power cord for your local supply  
to the monitor, then connect it to a properly grounded  
power outlet.  
Positioning the Monitor  
Choose a suitable place to position the monitor where  
it is not near fluorescent desk lighting or any  
equipment that produces magnetic field that could  
cause interference.  
Ensure that the furniture or equipment can support  
the weight of the monitor. Allow at least 2 inches (50  
mm) ventilation space around the monitor.  
Height  
The monitor should be positioned so that the top of  
the screen is slightly below your eye level when you  
sit at your workstation.  
Orientation  
Choose a position that gives the least reflection from  
lights and windows, usually at a right angle to any  
windows. The monitor should be positioned directly  
in front of you so that you do not have to twist your  
body. Tilt the monitor to a comfortable viewing angle.  
Step 4: Turn on the monitor and  
computer  
Working Practices  
Turn the monitor power switch ON. Then turn the  
computer power switch ON, by pressing the switch  
inward. The green power indicator will light up.  
Allow about 30 seconds for the CRT tube to warm  
up. Data will be displayed on the screen.  
If your display fails to function properly, please  
first refer to the section "Troubleshooting" in this  
manual.  
Rest  
Take regular breaks. Vary your posture, and stand up  
and stretch occasionally as prolonged use of computer  
workstations can be tiring.  
Back  
You should sit back in the chair and use the backrest.  
Hands  
Use a light touch on the keyboard, keeping your hands  
and fingers relaxed. Allow a space in front of the key-  
board to rest your wrists when not typing. Consider  
using a wristpad.  
Eyesight  
Working with monitor, in common with any kind of  
prolonged close work, can be visually demanding.  
Look away from the screen periodically and have your  
eyesight checked regularly.  
Screen settings  
Set the screen brightness and contrast to a comfort-  
able level. You may have to adjust this as the lighting  
changes during the day. Many application programs  
let you select color combinations which can help you  
to view in comfort.
