Color depth and screen resolution are two of the most basic monitor settings you may  
need to change.  
Adjusting the color depth  
Color depth is the number of colors your video card uses. Most images look best displayed  
with the maximum number of colors available.  
Windows lets you choose from several color depth settings for the monitor. We recommend  
that you use the 32-bit True Color setting or the highest setting available at all times.  
If the color in your images seems “false” or “jumpy,” especially after you have played a  
game or run a video-intensive program, check the color depth setting and return it to 32-bit  
True Color, if necessary.  
To change the color depth:  
1 In Windows XP, click Start, then click Control Panel. The Control Panel window opens.  
If your Control Panel is in Category View, click Appearance and Themes.  
- OR -  
In Windows 2000, click Start, Settings, then click Control Panel. The Control Panel  
window opens.

Adjusting the screen resolution  
You can change the screen resolution to a size you prefer. For example, you can increase  
the resolution to fit more icons on your desktop, or you can decrease the resolution to  
make reading and identifying objects on the monitor easier. The higher the resolution,  
the smaller individual components of the screen (such as icons and menu bars) appear.

Power management  
ENERGY STAR  
As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, Gateway has determined that this product meets the  
ENERGY STAR guidelines for energy efficiency.  
This monitor complies with the EPA's International ENERGY STAR Program, which is a  
program designed to encourage manufacturers of computer equipment to build circuitry  
into their products to reduce energy consumption during time of non-use.  
Energy declaration  
When connected to a computer that supports the VESA Display Power Management  
Signaling (DPMS) Protocol, the monitor can conserve significant energy by reducing power  
consumption during periods of non-use. When your computer goes into the energy saving  
mode, the monitor will then enter the Active Off mode (different from total shut down).  
In the Active Off mode the Power LED will still show orange.  
Use these conventions and the power can be reduced to the following levels:  
VESA State  
On  
LED Indicator  
Green  
Power Consumption  
45 W  
Active Off  
Orange  
3 W  
To “wake” the monitor when it is in Active Off mode, move the mouse or press any  
keyboard key.  
Access the power management options in the Control Panel to change the period of time  
after which the monitor enters these low power states.  
14  
     
Maintenance  
To keep the monitor in optimal working order:  
Do not block the ventilation holes.  
Do not expose the monitor to rain or use near water.  
Keep the monitor away from radiators or heat vents.  
Keep the monitor out of direct sunlight.  
To clean the monitor, use a soft cloth slightly moistened with water only. Wipe the cabinet,  
screen, and controls.  
Caution  
Do not use any type of abrasive pad or glass cleaner. You will  
permanently scratch the screen.  
Troubleshooting  
If you have problems with the monitor, the information in this troubleshooting section  
may help you solve them.  
Important  
Make sure that the monitor has warmed up for approximately  
30 minutes before making any judgments about the picture quality.  
No power  
Make sure that the power cord is connected correctly to both the back of the monitor  
and the wall outlet. For more information about connecting the power cord, see  
“Connecting the monitor” on page 2.

If you have two computers connected to the monitor, press the SOURCE button on  
the front of the monitor to switch between computers. For more information about  
the SOURCE button, see “External controls” on page 7.  
If the power LED is orange:  
Make sure that your computer is turned on.  
Move the mouse or press any key on the keyboard to bring the monitor out of  
Active Off mode.  
Restart your computer with the monitor turned on.  
Check the end of the video cable for any pins that might be bent or pushed in.  
Turn off the monitor and unplug the video cable from the back of your computer.

The monitor has pixels that are always dark or too  
bright  
This condition is normal and inherent in the TFT technology used in active-matrix LCD  
screens. Gateway’s inspection standards keep these to a minimum. If you feel these pixels  
are unacceptably numerous or dense on your display, contact Gateway Technical Support  
to identify whether a repair or replacement is justified based on the number of pixels  
affected.

Important safety information  
Your Gateway system is designed and tested to meet the latest standards for safety of information technology  
equipment. However, to ensure safe use of this product, it is important that the safety instructions marked on the  
product and in the documentation are followed.  
Warning  
Always follow these instructions to help guard against personal injury  
and damage to your Gateway system.  
Setting up your system  
Read and follow all instructions marked on the product and in the documentation before you operate your  
system. Retain all safety and operating instructions for future use.  
Do not use this product near water or a heat source such as a radiator.  
Set up the system on a stable work surface.  
The product should only be operated from the type of power source indicated on the rating label.  
If your product has a voltage selector switch, make sure that the switch is in the proper position for your area.  
The voltage selector switch is set at the factory to the correct voltage.  
Openings in the monitor case are provided for ventilation. Do not block or cover these openings. Make sure  
you provide adequate space, at least 6 inches (15 cm), around the system for ventilation when you set up your  
work area. Never insert objects of any kind into the monitor ventilation openings.  
Some products are equipped with a three-wire power cord to make sure that the product is properly grounded  
when in use. The plug on this cord will only fit into a grounding-type outlet. This is a safety feature. If you are  
unable to insert the plug into an outlet, contact an electrician to install the appropriate outlet.  
If you use an extension cord with this system, make sure that the total ampere rating on the products plugged  
into the extension cord does not exceed the extension cord ampere rating.  
If your system is fitted with a TV Tuner, cable, or satellite receiver card, make sure that the antenna or cable  
system is electrically grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and buildup of static charges.  
20  
Care during use  
Do not walk on the power cord or allow anything to rest on it.  
Do not spill anything on the system. The best way to avoid spills is to avoid eating and drinking near your  
system.  
Do not expose the monitor to rain or use near water. If the monitor does get exposed to moisture, unplug it  
and allow it to dry for 24 hours. Call Gateway Technical Support for advice on whether the monitor is safe to  
turn back on.  
When the monitor is turned off, a small amount of electrical current still flows through the monitor. To avoid  
electrical shock, always unplug all power cables and modem cables from the wall outlets before cleaning the  
system.  
Unplug the system from the wall outlet and refer servicing to qualified personnel if:  
The power cord or plug is damaged.  
Liquid has been spilled into the system.  
The system does not operate properly when the operating instructions are followed.  
The system was dropped or the cabinet is damaged.  
The system performance changes.  
Warning  
To prevent electric shock, never remove the cover. No user  
serviceable parts inside. Refer servicing to qualified service  
personnel.  
Replacement parts and accessories  
Use only replacement parts and accessories recommended by Gateway.  
Warning  
Do not use Gateway products in areas classified as hazardous  
locations. Such areas include patient care areas of medical and  
dental facilities, oxygen-laden environments, or industrial facilities.
