3. Replace the cover.

Four-step diagram showing a battery component with an arrow indicating the insertion point, no text or symbols present.

CAUTION: The incorrect use of batteries can result in leaks or bursting. Be sure to follow these instructions:

• Place "AAA" batteries matching the (+) and (−) signs on each battery to the (+) and (−) signs of the battery compartment.
  • Do not mix battery types.
• Do not combine new batteries with used ones. It causes shorter life or leakage of batteries.
• Remove the dead batteries immediately to prevent them from liquid leaking in the battery compartment. Don't touch exposed battery acid, as it can damage your skin.

NOTE: If you do not intend to use the remote control for a long period, remove the batteries.

Handling the remote control

• Do not subject to strong shock.
- Do not allow water or other liquid to splash the remote control. If the remote control gets wet, wipe it dry immediately.
- Avoid exposure to heat and steam.
• Other than to install the batteries, do not open the remote control.

Operating range of the remote control

Point the top of the remote control toward the LCD monitor's remote sensor during button operation.

Use the remote control within a distance of about 8 ~m from remote control sensor or at a horizontal and vertical angle of within 15^ within a distance of about 5.6 ~m .

NOTE: The remote control may not function properly when the remote control sensor on the display is under direct sunlight or strong illumination, or when there is an obstacle in the path of signal transmission.

Monitor Specifications

The following sections give you information about the various power management modes and pin assignments for the various connectors of your monitor.

Power Management Modes

If you have VESA's DPM compliance display card or software installed in your PC, the monitor automatically reduces its power consumption when not in use. This is referred to as Power Save Mode. If the computer detects input from keyboard, mouse, or other input devices, the monitor automatically resumes functioning. The following table shows the power consumption and signaling of this automatic power-saving feature:

VESA Modes	Horizontal Sync	Vertical Sync	Video	Power Indicator	Power Consumption
Normal operation	Active Active	Active W	White 220	W (Maximum)**142 W (Typical)
Active-off mode Inactive	Inactive Inactive	Blank Glowing	white	Less than 0.4 W
Switch off -	-		Off	Less than 0.3 W *

Energy Star	Power Consumption
On Mode	114 W***

The OSD will only function in the normal operation mode. When any button except power button is pressed in Active-off mode, the following messages will be displayed:

Dell C7016H

There is no signal coming from your computer.

Press any key on the keyboard or move the mouse to wake it up.

If there is no display, press the monitor button now to select

the correct input source on the On-Screen-Display menu.

Activate the computer and monitor to gain access to the OSD.

NOTE: The Dell C7016H monitor is ENERGY STAR®-compliant.

* Zero-power consumption in OFF mode can only be achieved by disconnecting the main cable from the monitor.
** Maximum power consumption with max luminance and contrast.
*** Energy consumption (On Mode) is tested at 230 Volts / 50 Hz.

LCD Monitor Quality & Pixel Policy

During the LCD Monitor manufacturing process, it is not uncommon for one or more pixels to become fixed in an unchanging state. The visible result is a fixed pixel that appears as an extremely tiny dark or bright discolored spot. When the pixel remains permanently lit, it is known as a "bright dot." When the pixel remains black, it is known as a "dark dot."

In almost every case, these fixed pixels are hard to see and do not detract from display quality or usability. A display with 1 to 5 fixed pixels is considered normal and within competitive standards. For more information, see Dell Support site at:

http://www.dell.com/support/monitors.

Maintenance Guidelines

Caring for Your Monitor

△ CAUTION: Read and follow the safety instructions before cleaning the monitor.

△ CAUTION: Before cleaning the monitor, unplug the monitor power cable from the electrical outlet.

For best practices, follow the instructions in the list below while unpacking, cleaning, or handling your monitor:

• To clean your antistatic screen, slightly dampen a soft, clean cloth with water. If possible, use a special screen-cleaning tissue or solution suitable for the antistatic coating. Do not use benzene, thinner, ammonia, abrasive cleaners, or compressed air.
• Use a slightly dampened, warm cloth to clean the plastics. Avoid using detergent of any kind as some detergents leave a milky film on the plastics.
• If you notice a white powder when you unpack your monitor, wipe it off with a cloth. This white powder occurs during the shipping of the monitor.
• Handle your monitor with care as a darker-colored monitor may scratch and show white scuff marks more than a lighter-colored monitor.
• To help maintain the best image quality on your monitor, use a dynamically changing screen saver and power off your monitor when not in use.

Setting Up the Monitor

Connecting Your Monitor

WARNING: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the Safety Instructions.

To connect your monitor to the computer:

Troubleshooting

WARNING: Before you begin any of the procedures in this section, follow the Safety Instruction

Self-Test

Your monitor provides a self-test feature that allows you to check whether your monitor is functioning properly. If your monitor and computer are properly connected but the monitor screen remains dark, run the monitor self-test by performing the following steps:

1. Turn off both your computer and the monitor.

2. Unplug the video cables from the back of the computer. To ensure proper Self-Test operation, remove all VGA / DP / HDMI (MHL)1 / HDMI (MHL)2 cables from the back of computer.

3. Turn on the monitor.

The floating dialog box should appear on-screen (against a black background) if the monitor cannot sense a video signal and is working correctly. While in self-test mode, the power LED remains white. Also, depending upon the selected input, one of the dialogs shown below will continuously scroll through the screen.

Dell C7016H No VGA Cable The display will go into Power Save Mode in 5 minutes. www.dell.com/support/monitors

1. This box also appears during normal system operation, if the video cable becomes disconnected or damaged. The monitor will enter Power Save Mode after 5 minutes if left at this state.
2. Turn off your monitor and reconnect the video cable; then turn on both your computer and the monitor.

If your monitor screen remains blank after you use the previous procedure, check your video controller and computer, because your monitor is functioning properly.
