l
l
Use a lightly-dampened, warm cloth to clean the monitor. Avoid using detergent of any kind as some detergents leave a milky film on the monitor.
If you notice white powder when you unpack your monitor, wipe it off with a cloth.
Handle your monitor with care as a dark-colored monitor may scratch and show white scuff marks more than a light-colored monitor.
To help maintain the best image quality on your monitor, use a dynamically changing screen saver and turn off your monitor when not in use.

2. Follow the on-screen setup wizard to begin using FastAccess face recognition.
3. FastAccess automatically learns your face when you login to Vista. You will be able to log in to your computer automatically on most occasions, without
having to enter a password.
Customizing FastAccess
To help keep FastAccess secure, features affecting overall system security and certain advanced features can only be changed if you have Vista administrator
rights.
l
Configuration Console: Allows changing the Security Level, Web Logins and Advanced features. Only administrator accounts have access to the
Configuration Console.
l
User Settings: Allows changing Web Logins and Notification Messages. Only Vista user accounts have access to User Settings.
Configuration Console: Security
The main security features of FastAccess are controlled by the Security Level Adjustment slider. As you move the slider from left to right, you turn on
FastAccess and add increasing levels of security. As you move this slider, a brief description of the operating modes are displayed below the slider. You may
set the following four security levels:
1. Disabled

Cancel button: This button closes the Console without saving any changes.
Choosing the Desired Webcam for Face Recognition
l
l
Automatic Webcam Selection: Automatic Webcam Selection simplifies operation if more than one webcam is installed on your computer. FastAccess
connects to a Dell Monitor webcam first.
Manual Webcam Selection: Your desired webcam can be selected by opening the “FastAccess Configuration Console” and clicking the “Advanced”
button. Next click the “Camera Selection” link and select the desired webcam.
Using the Automatic Web Login
The Web Login Vault feature allows FastAccess to remember user names and passwords for many of the websites that require a login. The Web Login
Vault will automatically enter the user name and password for a website.
The first time you enter a user name and password into a website with a login, FastAccess will present a small pop-up box. This box allows you to Keep On or
Turn Off the Web Login Vault.
Security Recommendations
We recommend FastAccess be set to use the “Face + Password” feature. Face + Password periodically requires your password in addition to your face. This
provides better security than any biometric or password alone.

To connect your monitor to the computer:
1. Turn off your computer and disconnect the power cable.
2. Connect the HDMI cable, white (digital DVI-D), or blue (analog VGA) display connector cable to the corresponding video port on the back of your
computer. Do not use all the cables on the same computer. Use all of the cables only when they are connected to different computers with appropriate
video systems.

Connecting the White DVI Cable
Connecting the HDMI Cable
NOTE: The graphics are used for the purpose of illustration only. Appearance of the computer may vary.
Connecting the USB Cable
After you have completed connecting the DVI/VGA/HDMI cable, follow the procedure below to connect the USB cable to the computer and complete your
monitor setup:
1. Connect the downstream USB port (cable supplied) to an appropriate USB port on your computer.
2. Connect USB peripherals to the upstream USB ports on the monitor.
3. Plug the power cables for your computer and monitor into a nearby outlet.
4. Turn on the monitor and the computer.
If your monitor displays an image, installation is complete. If it does not display an image, see Solving Problems.
5. Use the cable holder on the monitor stand to organize the cables.

Troubleshooting
Dell™ SX2210 Flat Panel Monitor
Self-Test
Your monitor provides a self-test feature that allows you to check whether your monitor is functioning properly. If your monitor and computer are properly
connected but the monitor screen remains dark, run the monitor self-test by performing the following steps:
1. Turn off both your computer and the monitor.
2. Unplug the video cable from the back of the computer or monitor. To ensure proper Self-Test operation, remove the HDMI, Digital (white connector), and
the Analog (blue connector) cables from the back of the computer or monitor.
3. Turn on the monitor.
The floating dialog box should appear on-screen (against a black background) if the monitor cannot sense a video signal and is working correctly.
While in self-test mode, the power LED remains white. Also, depending upon the selected input, one of the dialogs shown below will continuously
scroll through the screen.
or
or
4. This box also appears during normal system operation, if the video cable becomes disconnected or damaged.
5. Turn off your monitor and reconnect the video cable; then turn on both your computer and the monitor.
If your monitor screen remains blank after you use the previous procedure, check your video controller and computer, because your monitor is functioning
properly.
Built-in Diagnostics
Your monitor has a built-in diagnostic tool that helps you determine if the screen abnormality you are experiencing is an inherent problem with your monitor, or
with your computer system and graphic card.
NOTE: You can run the built-in diagnostics only when the video cable is unplugged and the monitor is in self-test mode.
To run the built-in diagnostics:
1. Ensure that the screen is clean (no dust particles on the surface of the screen).
2. Unplug the video cable(s) from the back of the computer or monitor. The monitor then goes into the self-test mode.
3. On the front panel, press and hold the shortcut key 1 and shortcut key 4 keys on the front panel, simultaneously for 2 seconds. A gray screen
appears.
4. Carefully inspect the screen for abnormalities.
5. Press the shortcut key 4 key on the front panel again. The color of the screen changes to red.
6. Inspect the display for any abnormalities.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 to inspect the display in green, blue, and white colored screens.
The test is complete when the white screen appears. To exit, press the shortcut key 4 key again.
If you do not detect any screen abnormalities upon using the built-in diagnostic tool, the monitor is functioning properly. Check the video card and computer.
