Repair, Modification, Disassembly
DO NOT attempt to repair, modify or disassemble the product. This may result in fire or electrical shock.

Air vents
- The air vents are to prevent the internal temperature from rising. To not place items on or so that they block the air vents. Also do not place in racks where the air vents will be blocked. This will cause the internal temperature to rise and result in fire or malfunction.
- Do place on racks that fix the display in leaning position. This will change the flow of air through the air vents and cause the internal temperature to rise resulting in fire or malfunction.

Placing Objects in Device
DO NOT put paper clips, pins, metallic objects or combustible items in the ventilation holes. Using the device in this condition may result in electrical shock or fire.

Removing the Case Cover
DO NOT remove the case cover. There are many high voltage parts inside and are very dangerous.

Placing Objects on the Device

IMPORTANT FOR UNITED KINGDOM
WORDING FOR CLASS I EQUIPMENT INSTRUCTION BOOKS AND LABELS
The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse, the value of which is indicated on the pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need to be replaced, an ASTA or BSI approved BS 1362 fuse must be used of the same rating. If the fuse cover is detachable never use the plug with the cover omitted. If a replacement fuse cover is required, ensure it is of the same colour as that visible on the pin face of the plug. Fuse covers are available from your dealer.
DO NOT cut off the mains plug from this equipment. If the plug fitted is not suitable for the power outlets in your home or the cable is too short to reach a power outlet, then obtain an appropriate safety approved extension lead or consult your dealer.
Should it be necessary to change the mains plugs, this must be carried out by a competent person, preferably a qualified electrician.
If there is no alternative to cutting off the mains plug, ensure that you dispose of it immediately, having first removed the fuse, to avoid a possible shock hazard by inadvertent connection to the mains supply.
WARNING: THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE EARTHED
IMPORTANT
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green and Yellow = Earth, Blue = Neutral, Brown = Live.
As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:

The wire which is coloured GREEN and YELLOW must be connected to the terminal in the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol 12 or coloured GREEN or GREEN and YELLOW.
The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or coloured BLUE or BLACK. The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter L or coloured BROWN or RED.

NOTE:
- When the input display mode is not 1280 × 1024 , the image is smoothly expanded to 1280 × 1024 dots with the GM5120 scaling engine. After expansion from 650 × 350 , 640 × 400 , 640 × 480 , 720 × 400 , 832 × 624 , 800 × 600 , and 1024 × 768 resolution, the text may look not so sharp, and the Graphics may look not so proportional.
- 640x400 56Hz and 1024x768 66Hz modes cannot be supported when Digital (TMDS) input.
Troubleshooting
This LCD Monitor has pre-adjusted using factory to 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.
PROBLEM Picture is unclear and unstable or new colorized
The picture is unclear and unstable, please perform the following steps:
- Enter PC to "Shut Down Windows" status while you're in a MS-Windows environment.
- Check the screen to see if any black vertical stripes appear. If there are, use the "Clock" function in OSD menu and adjust (by increment or decrement numbers) until those bars disappear.
- Move to "phase" function in OSD menu again and adjust the monitor screen to its clearest display.
- Click "No" on "Shut Down Windows" and return to the normal PC operating environment.
PROBLEM There is no picture on LCD Monitor
If there's no picture on the LCD Monitor, please perform the following steps:
- 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.
- Turn off the LCD Monitor and then turn it back on again. Press the right Function Select Control button once and then press either the left or right Adjustment Control button several times. If there is still no picture, press the other Adjustment Control button several times.
- If step 2 doesn't 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 LCD's 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.
PROBLEM There is no picture on LCD Monitor
If you have chosen an output timing that is outside of the LCD Monitor's synchronous range (Horizontal: 24 80KHz and Vertical: 56 75Hz ), the OSD will display an "Input Signal Out of Range" message. Choose a mode that is supported by the LCD Monitor.
If there is no signal input or you get a DPMS power saving signal from the PC, the monitor will display the message "No Input Signal", and then go into the POWER OFF mode.
If the signal cable is not connected to the monitor, the monitor will display the message "Check Video Cable", and then go into POWER OFF mode.
