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.

 

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

 

The menu appears on the screen.

 

Each time you move the control button up or down, the 
language can be selected appears cyclically.

You can connect two computers to this monitor using the video 
input 1 (HD15) and video input 2 (BNC) connectors. To select 
one of the two computers, use the INPUT switch.

 

The selected connector appears on the screen for 3 seconds.

“INPUT 1”: HD15 or “INPUT 2”: BNC appears on the screen.

 

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