Autoranging universal power supply works anywhere; the monitor self-adjusts if the appropriate power cord and plug for the local voltage are used.

• 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 a few 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 dot 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.

Technical Features

Preset mode timing table

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. 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 – 130 kHz, vertical: 48 – 170 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.

Power saving function

This monitor meets the power-saving guidelines set by VESA, ENERGY STAR, and NUTEK. If no signal is input to the monitor from your computer, the monitor will automatically reduce power consumption as shown below.

Power mode	Power consumption 1 (power) indicator
normal operation	≤ 135 W green
active off*(deep sleep)**	≤ 3 W	amber
power off Approx. 0 W	off

* When your computer enters power saving mode, the input signal is cut and NO SIGNAL appears on the screen before the monitor enters active off mode. After a few seconds, the monitor enters power saving mode.

**“Deep sleep” is power saving mode defined by the Environmental Protection Agency.

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.

Damper wires

Symptom Check these items
No picture
If the 1 (power) indicator is not lit	Check that the power cord is properly connected.Check that the 1 (power) switch is in the “on” position.
If the NO SIGNAL message appears on the screen, or if the 1 (power) indicator is amber	Check that the video signal cable is properly connected and all plugs are firmly seated in their sockets (page 5).Check that the INPUT switch setting is correct (page 6).Check that the video input connector’s pins are not bent or pushed in.■Problems caused by the connected computer or other equipmentThe computer is in power saving mode. Try pressing any key on the keyboard or moving the mouse.Check that the computer’s power is “on.”Check that the graphic board is completely seated in the proper bus slot.
If the OUT OF SCAN RANGE message appears on the screen	■Problems caused by the connected computer or other equipmentCheck that the video frequency range is within that specified for the monitor. If you replaced an old monitor with this monitor, reconnect the old monitor and adjust the frequency range to the following.Horizontal: 30 – 130 kHzVertical: 48 – 170 Hz
If no message is displayed and the 1 (power) indicator is green or flashing amber	Use the Self-diagnosis function (page 19).
Picture flickers, bounces, oscillates, or is scrambled	Isolate and eliminate any potential sources of electric or magnetic fields such as other monitors, laser printers, fluorescent lighting, televisions, or electric fans.Move the monitor away from power lines or place a magnetic shield near the monitor.Try plugging the monitor into a different AC outlet, preferably on a different circuit.Try turning the monitor 90° to the left or right.■Problems caused by the connected computer or other equipmentCheck your graphics board manual for the proper monitor setting.Confirm that the graphics mode and the frequency of the input signal are supported by this monitor (Technical Features). Even if the frequency is within the proper range, some graphics boards may have a sync pulse that is too narrow for the monitor to sync correctly.Adjust the computer’s refresh rate (vertical frequency) to obtain the best possible picture.
Picture is fuzzy	Adjust the contrast and brightness (page 8).Degauss the monitor* (page 11).Adjust the degree of moire cancellation until the moire is minimal, or set CANCEL MOIRE to OFF (page 11).

* If a second degauss cycle is needed, allow a minimum interval of 20 minutes for the best result. A humming noise may be heard, but this is not a malfunction.
