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 U.S.A.
If you do not use the appropriate cord, this monitor will not conform to mandatory FCC standards.
Example of plug types

for 100 to 120 V AC

for 200 to 240 V AC
- Before disconnecting the power cord, wait at least 30 seconds after turning off the power to allow the static electricity on the screen's surface to discharge.
• After the power is turned on, the screen is demagnetized (degaussed) for about 2 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 screen's 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.
Use of the tilt-swivel
This monitor can be adjusted within the angles shown below. To find the center of the monitor's turning radius, align the center of the monitor's screen with the centering dots on the stand. 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.

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 monitor's 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 monitor's frequency range (horizontal: 30 – 109 kHz, vertical: 48 – 160 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.

This monitor meets the power-saving guidelines set by VESA, ENERGY STAR, and NUTEK. If the monitor is connected to a computer or video graphics board that is DPMS (Display Power Management Signaling) compliant, the monitor will automatically reduce power consumption in three stages as shown below.
| Power mode | Power consumption | (power) indicator |
| normal operation | ≤ 145 W green | |
| 1 standby ≤ 15 W green and orange | alternate | |
| 2 suspend (sleep)* | ≤ 15 W green and orange | alternate |
| 3 active off** (deep sleep)* | Approx. 1 W orange | |
| power off 0 W off | ||
* "Sleep" and "deep sleep" are power saving modes defined by the Environmental Protection Agency.
** When your computer enters a power saving mode, the input signal is cut and NO INPUT SIGNAL appears on the screen. After a few seconds, the monitor enters a power saving mode.
Troubleshooting
Before contacting technical support, refer to this section.
If thin lines appear on your screen (damper wires)
The lines you are experiencing on your screen are normal for the Trinitron monitor and are not a malfunction. These are shadows from the damper wires used to stabilize the aperture grille and are most noticeable when the screen's background is light (usually white). 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.
Damper wires
