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, 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 – 109 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 16.

 

To maximize the potential of your monitor, install the new model 
information file from the supplied Setup Disk onto your PC.
This monitor complies with the “VESA DDC” Plug & Play standard. If 
your PC/graphics board complies with DDC, select “Plug & Play Monitor 
(VESA DDC)” or this monitor’s model name as the monitor type in the 
“Control Panel” of Windows 95/98. If your PC/graphics board has 
difficulty communicating with this monitor, load the Setup Disk and 
select this monitor’s model name as the monitor type.

 

Monitor setup in Windows NT4.0 is different from Windows 95/98 and 
does not involve the selection of monitor type. Refer to the Windows 
NT4.0 instruction manual for further details on adjusting the resolution, 
refresh rate, and number of colors.

 

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