PRECAUTIONS  
 
WARNING  
Keep small objects away from the monitor.  
Small objects may accidentally fall through the ventilation slots into the  
cabinet, leading to fire, shock, or equipment damage.  
Keep liquids away from the monitor.  
Spillage into the cabinet may result in fire, electric shock, or equipment  
damage. If an object or liquid falls/spills into the cabinet, unplug the  
monitor immediately. Have the unit checked by a qualified service  
engineer before using it again.

following specifications.  
* Rating:  
* Length:  
* Type:  
min. 250 V, 10 A  
max. 2.0 m  
H05VV-F 3G 1 mm2  
Use a plug type approved by the country where you reside. Failure to do so  
may cause fire or electric shock.  
To disconnect the power cord, grasp the plug firmly and pull.  
Never tug on the cord, doing so may cause damage and could result in fire  
or electric shock  
OK  
The equipment must be connected to a grounded main outlet.  
Use the correct voltage.  
* The monitor is designed for use with a specific voltage only. Connection  
to a different voltage may cause fire, electric shock, or other damage.  
* Do not overload your power circuit, as this may result in fire or electric  
shock.  
* For proper connections of the power cord, be certain to plug the power  
cord to the provided monitor connector and directly to a wall outlet. By  
not doing so may result in fire or electric shock.  
Handle the power cord with care.  
* Do not place the cord underneath the monitor or other heavy objects.  
* Do not pull on the cord.  
* Do not attempt to repair a damaged cord.  
If the power cord becomes damaged, stop using it. Use of a damaged cord  
may result in fire or electric shock.  
Never touch the plug and power cord if it begins to thunder.  
If it begins to thunder, do not touch the plug, power cord and cable.  
Touching them may result in electric shock.

PRECAUTIONS  
 
CAUTION  
Handle with care when carrying the monitor.  
* Disconnect the power cord, signal cables and remove the optional  
i·Soundsound unit (if applicable). Moving the monitor with the cord  
attached or lifting it by the i·Soundsound unit is dangerous. It may  
result in injury or equipment damage.  
* Note that the monitor is heavier at the front than at the rear. Do not  
move it alone. Always work with another person.  
* The screen is optically coated to reduce glare. Keep hard objects (such  
as buttons, tiepins, and other clothing accessories) away from the screen  
surface to prevent scratches.  
OK  
Do not block the ventilation slots on the cabinet.  
* Do not place books or any other papers on the ventilation slots.  
* Do not install the monitor in a closed space.  
* Do not use the monitor laying down or upside down.  
* Do not remove the tilt-swivel stand.  
Using the monitor in this way block the ventilation slots and prevents  
proper airflow, leading to fire or other damage.  
Do not sit on the cabinet or place any heavy objects on the cabinet.  
A unit with heavy objects on it may fall or be damaged and result in injury.  
When adjusting the viewing angle of the monitor, do not do so by  
handling i·Soundsound unit (if applicable).  
Adjusting the monitor in this way may break the unit or cause bodily  
injury.  
At the end of the day or if you plan to leave the monitor unused for an  
extended period, after turning off the power switch disconnect the  
power cord from the wall socket so that no power connections are  
made.  
PRECAUTIONS

Touching the plug with wet hands is dangerous and can cause electrical  
shock.  
Use an easily accessible power outlet.  
This will ensure that you can disconnect the power quickly in case of a  
problem.  
Unplug the monitor before cleaning it.  
Cleaning the monitor while it is plugged into a power outlet may result in  
electric shock.  
Never use thinner, benzene, alcohol (ethanol, methanol,or isopropyl  
alcohol), abrasive cleaners, or other strong solvents, as these may  
cause damage to the cabinet or CRT.  
Periodically clean the area around the plug.  
Buildup of dust, water, or oil on the plug may result in fire.

2-2. Getting Ready for Operation  
Try each setting procedure if necessary in the following cases.  
The display image size and / or position is incorrect  
Press the AUTO-SIZING button on the front panel. The AUTO-SIZING function centers  
the displayed image, aligning the images borders with respect to the monitor frame. In  
general, press the AUTO-SIZING button whenever changing the graphics board or the  
resolution p.30), or when image size and/or position is incorrect. If further adjustment is  
required, adjust the picture size/position as desired using the ScreenManager (See page  
14).  
A solid-color screen (i.e. red, green, blue) may appear briefly after pressing the  
AUTO-SIZING button. This is not a malfunction.  
The displaying area is too large or too small  
The following look-up table shows the maximum (non-interlaced) vertical refresh rates  
for this model with regard to standard resolutions set forth by VESA. The best way to see  
if the monitor will work with a given resolution and rate, is to compare the vertical  
refresh rate of the graphics board to the monitors range. Refer to the graphics board  
manual for specifications. If the refresh rate is within the specified range of the monitor,  
it should operate properly.
