Auto Setup

The Setup Utility included on the installation CD is for displaying dot patterns.

They do not replace or modify the display driver.

The Auto Setup instructions require the monitor to be warmed up for 15 minutes. This is not required for normal operation.

By pressing the Auto key, you will have direct access to Auto Adjustment.

When you first use your monitor you must perform Auto Setup. This procedure sets up your monitor to process the video signals from your computer without image discoloration or smearing. After you perform Auto Setup, the settings are stored and used each time you turn on the monitor.

To optimize the displayed image a set-up utility is provided on the CD. Operation of the utility is dependent on the operating system on your computer. For correct operation locate the operating system on your computer from the table below and follow the appropriate instructions. You can choose to run AUTO SETUP for each operating system that you use. This means that if you sometimes use your monitor while running a version of Windows and sometimes also use it from within DOS (not a DOS window), you must run AUTO SETUP for both Windows and DOS. You can run versions of AUTO SETUP in any order.

The A UTO SETUP process only applies to the current screen mode. When a new

mode is selected, repeat this section to reset the monitor.

Operating System	Corresponding Auto Setup procedure

Before you begin AUTO SETUP for your computer:

Make sure the computer's video mode is set in the range of the supported screen resolution shown in the Table on page 20. You should perform AUTO SETUP for each screen mode you use.

Auto Setup for DOS

If the monitor is in power saving mode, it may

automatically turn off while you are waiting for it to warm up. If this happens, switch off the monitor and switch it on again after a few seconds.

If you are using PC-DOS/V, change to U.S. mode by typing

'CHEV US' and pressing

ENTER at the command prompt.

The size and diversity of the dot pattern varies with the screen resolution.

To set up the monitor automatically in DOS, do the following:

1. Turn on the monitor first; then turn on the computer.

If the message Attention No Signal is displayed, or if nothing is displayed, check:

• That the video interface cable is connected properly.
• The correct video adapter card is installed.

• The correct supported display mode is selected for your computer.

• Wait approximately 15 minutes, until the monitor warms up.

• Insert the User's Guide and Installation Files CD into the computer CDROM drive.

General Information

Display modes

The display mode the monitor uses is controlled by the computer. Therefore, refer to your computer documentation for details on how to change display modes.

The image size, position and shape might change when the display mode changes. This is normal and the image can be readjusted using AUTO SETUP and the monitor controls.

Unlike CRT monitors, which require a high refresh rate to minimize flicker, TFT technology is inherently flicker-free. If possible, configure your computer for 1024 × 768 address ability at 60Hz vertical refresh rate.

For the display modes listed on the next page, the screen image has been optimized during manufacture.

For image problems, you may want to run AUTO

Setup again before

consulting this section. In most cases, AUTO SETUP can fix the problems. See Auto Setup for DOS on page 12 for details.

Symbol of a trash bin crossed with a diagonal line, representing waste or disposal (no text or labels)

Notice: This mark applies only to countries within the European Union (EU) and Norway.

This appliance is labeled in accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EC concerning waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE). The Directive determines the framework for the return and recycling of used appliances as applicable throughout the European Union. This label is applied to various products to indicate that the product is not to be thrown away, but rather reclaimed upon end of life per this Directive.

In accordance with the European WEEE Directive, electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) is to be collected separately and to be reused, recycled, or recovered at end of life. Users of EEE with the WEEE marking per Annex IV of the WEEE Directive, as shown above, must not dispose of end of life EEE as unsorted municipal waste, but use the collection framework available to customers for the return, recycling, and recovery of WEEE. Customer participation is important to minimize any potential effects of EEE on the environment and human health due to the potential presence of hazardous substances in EEE. For proper collection and treatment, contact your local IBM representative.
