Note: Hand degauss must be used on stand-by or power-off condition.

This model has an automatic earth magnetism correction function by using an earth

magnetism sensor and a LCC coil. When using a hand degauss while monitor (LCC

coil) is being operated, it sometimes gets magnetized, and the system may not work

properly as a result.

• Use the supplied power cord. If you use a different power cord, 

be sure that it is compatible with your local power supply.

 

If you do not use the appropriate cord, this monitor will not 
conform to mandatory FCC standards.

• 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 3 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.

 

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

 

• 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.

 

When you transport this monitor for repair or shipment, use the 
original carton and packing materials.

 

This monitor can be adjusted within the angles shown below. To 
turn the monitor vertically or horizontally, hold it at the bottom 
with both hands.

The equipment should be installed near an easily accessible 
outlet.

• Setup Disk (1)
• Warranty card (1)
• Notes on cleaning the screen’s surface (1)
• This instruction manual (1)

 

Turn off the monitor and computer before connecting.

 

• Do not touch the pins of the video signal cable connector as this might 

bend the pins.

* Connect the supplied Macintosh adapter to the computer before 

connecting the cable.
This adapter is compatible with Macintosh LC, Performa, Quadra, 
Power Macintosh, and Power Macintosh G3 series computers that have 
two rows of pins. If you are connecting to the other version of Power 
Macintosh G3 series with three rows of pins or models other than those 
stated above, you will need a different adapter (not supplied).

* Connect the cables from left to right in the following order: Red-Green-

Blue-HD-VD.

 

Plug & Play (DDC) does not apply to the five BNC connectors. If you 
want to use Plug & Play, connect your computer to the HD15 connector 
using the supplied video signal cable.

With the monitor and computer switched off, first connect the 
power cord to the monitor, then connect it to a power outlet.

 

First turn on the monitor, then turn on the computer.

The installation of your monitor is complete.
If necessary, use the monitor’s controls to adjust the picture.

 

• Check that the monitor is correctly connected to the computer.
• If NO INPUT SIGNAL appears on the screen, try changing the 

input signal (page 9), and confirm that your computer’s graphic 
board is completely seated in the correct bus slot. 

• If you are replacing an old monitor with this model and OUT 

OF SCAN RANGE appears on the screen, reconnect the old 
monitor. Then adjust the computer’s graphic board so that the 
horizontal frequency is between 30 – 121 kHz, and the vertical 
frequency is between 48 – 160 Hz.

For more information about the on-screen messages, see “Trouble 
symptoms and remedies” on page 18.

 

This monitor complies with the “DDC” Plug & Play standard and 
automatically detects all the monitor’s information with the Windows 
Plug & Play function. No specific driver needs to be installed to the 
computer.
If you connect the monitor to your PC, and then boot your PC for the first 
time, the setup Wizard may be displayed on the screen. Click on “Next” 
several times according to the instructions from the Wizard until the Plug 
& Play Monitor is automatically selected so that you can use this monitor.
If your PC/graphics board has difficulty communicating with this 
monitor, load the supplied Setup Disk. Refer to the “Read Me” file on the 
Disk about the procedure to install. You can also download the 
information by accessing the web site of the graphics board’s 
manufacturer.

 

Monitor setup in Windows NT4.0 does not use the display driver. Refer 
to the Windows NT4.0 instruction manual for further details on adjusting 
the resolution, refresh rate, and number of colors.

Your monitor has one upstream and four downstream USB 
connectors. They provide a fast and easy way to connect USB 
compliant peripheral devices (such as keyboards, mice, printers 
and scanners) to your computer using a standardized USB cable.
To use your monitor as a hub for your peripheral devices, connect 
the USBs as illustrated below.

 

If a message appears on your screen, follow the on-screen instructions 
and select Generic USB Hub as the default setting.

 

• Not all computers and /or operating systems support USB 

configurations. Check your computer’s instruction manual to see if you 
can connect USB devices.

• In most cases, USB driver software needs to be installed on the host 

computer. Refer to the peripheral device’s instruction manual for 
further details.

• The monitor functions as a USB hub as long as the monitor is either 

“on” or in power saving mode.

• If you connect a keyboard or mouse to the USB connectors and then 

boot your computer for the first time, the peripheral devices may not 
function. First connect the keyboard and mouse directly to the 
computer and set up the USB compliant devices. Then connect them to 
this monitor.

• Do not lean on the monitor when plugging in the USB cables. The 

monitor may suddenly shift and cause injury.

 

English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Swedish, 
Russian and Japanese versions of the on-screen menus are 
available. The default setting is English.

 

See page 10 for more information on using the joystick.

You can connect two computers to this monitor using the HD15 
and BNC connectors. To switch between the two computers, use 

 

the INPUT

 

 button.

 

 

 

Each time you press this button, the input signal and 
corresponding indicator alternate.
When the button is pressed, BNC is selected, when the button is 
unpressed, HD15 is selected.

The selected connector appears on the screen for a few seconds.
“HD15” or “BNC” appears on the screen.

 

If no signal is input to the selected connector, NO INPUT SIGNAL 
appears on the screen. After a few seconds, the monitor enters the power 
saving mode. If this happens, switch to the other connector.

 

You can easily adjust the picture to fill the screen by pressing the 
ASC (auto sizing and centering) button.

 

The picture automatically fills the screen.

 

• This function is intended for use with a computer running Windows or 

similar graphic user interface software that provides a full-screen 
picture. It may not work properly if the background color is dark or if 
the input picture does not fill the screen to the edges (such as an MS-
DOS prompt).

• Pictures with an aspect ratio of 5:4 (resolution: 1280
