Depending on the content of the screen, at times the shadows of
two small horizontal lines may appear on the screen. This is not
a defect and is normal for all aperture grille type displays. The
shadows are two damper wires that reduce the monitor's
susceptibility to vibration.

Universal Driver Manager
This monitor may require a graphics driver (and/or .INF file) that is
compatible with your computer’s graphics adapter. A CD-ROM
containing an .INF file is included with this monitor (see the section on
Information Files). Compaq has also created a Universal Driver
Manager (UDM) release that supports all graphics adapters found on
Compaq Deskpro and Compaq Workstation products. The UDM eases
graphics driver deployment across Compaq platforms ensuring cross-
compatibility and backward-compatibility. The resulting solution
enables customers to manage and control ongoing software maintenance
costs. The UDM is available on the Compaq Support Software CD for
Compaq Desktop, Portable, and Workstation Products and the Compaq
Information Files
This monitor includes a CD-ROM with two information files that should
be installed onto your computer—an .INF file and an .ICM file. The
.INF file defines monitor resources and provides specifications used by
Microsoft Windows 95/98 to install support software for certain
hardware devices. The .INF file ensures monitor compatibility and
optimization with your computer’s graphics adapter.
The .ICM file provides color matching consistency from monitor screen
to printer and is activated from within the graphics programs that have
this feature. To install these files on your computer, insert the Compaq
CD-ROM into the computer's CD tray and follow the instructions from
the menu that appears on the monitor screen. The CD-ROM is located in
the Program License Agreement packet. INF file updates are
downloadable by clicking on:

Adjusting Screen Quality
The optimum screen settings are factory preset. However, to change the
settings to your personal preference, allow the monitor to warm up for
30 minutes before performing the following procedures. The screen
image stabilizes after a warm-up period.
Optimizing Contrast
For best results, set your screen to a light background (such as the
Windows Desktop) before adjusting the following settings:
1. Set the brightness control to its maximum setting, then reduce the
brightness to your preference.
2. Adjust the contrast setting to your preference.
Optimizing Focus
The default image size is preset at the factory. The front panel controls
can be used to increase the screen size beyond the default setting.
However, expanding the screen image beyond the default settings may
degrade the focus at the outer edge of the screen.
To enhance focus, use the lowest brightness and contrast levels that
provide satisfactory results in your viewing environment.
Settings that maximize contrast may not offer optimum focus,
and settings that maximize focus may not offer optimum contrast.

Maximum Refresh Rates
This monitor is capable of the maximum refresh rates listed in the
following table. However, the video adapter installed in your computer
must also be capable of supporting these refresh rates in order for them
to operate. Most of the new video adapters being shipped and sold in
computers today are capable of supporting these calculated refresh rates.
Certain video adapters may provide different timing parameters that
could result in slightly different maximum refresh rates.
Maximum Refresh Resolutions
640 × 480 at 120 Hz
800 × 600 at 120 Hz
1024 × 768 at 110 Hz
1280 × 1024 at 85 Hz

User Modes
The video controller signal may occasionally call for a mode that is not
preset if:
?#You are not using a Compaq standard graphics adapter.
?#You are not using a preset mode.
If this occurs, you may need to readjust the parameters of the monitor
screen by using the on-screen display. User changes can be made to any
or all of these modes and saved in memory. The monitor automatically
stores the new setting, then recognizes the new mode just as it does a
preset mode. In addition to the 8 factory preset modes, there are twenty
user modes that can be entered and stored.

Care and Maintenance
This section explains how to care for and maintain your Compaq
monitor during normal everyday use.
Protecting the Monitor
To protect your monitor from overheating and other types of damage,
follow these suggestions:
?#Use only a power source and connection appropriate for this
monitor, as indicated on the marking label/back plate.
?#If an extension cord or power strip is used, make sure that the cord
or strip is rated for the product and that the total ampere ratings of
all products plugged into the extension cord or power strip do not
exceed 80% of the extension cord or strip ampere ratings limit.
?#Do not overload an electrical outlet, power strip, or convenience
receptacle. The overall system load must not exceed 80% of the
branch circuit rating. If power strips are used, the load should not
exceed 80% of the power strip input rating.
?#Install the monitor near an outlet that you can easily reach.
Disconnect the product by grasping the plug firmly and pulling it
from the outlet. Never disconnect it by pulling the cord.
?#Unplug the monitor from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not
use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners.
?#Slots and openings in the cabinet are provided for ventilation.
These openings must not be blocked or covered. Never push
objects of any kind into cabinet slots or other openings.
?#Do not place plants on top of the monitor. Water or dirt from the
plant may fall into the vents.
