If you purchase a Hitachi Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) color monitor, Hitachi provides a
warranty of 36 months for the panel and 12 months for the backlight if purchased before
1/31/01 or 36 months for both panel and backlight if purchased after 1/31/01. In the
event of a defect during this 12 month, 36 month or 60 month period, Hitachi America,

Exclusions from this warranty: It is normal for Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) monitors and
LCD display backlights to decrease in brightness as they age. This is a natural process
in CRTs & LCDs due to the degradation of the LCD backlight and the degradation of the
CRT phosphors that create the image and is not covered by this warranty. This warranty
excludes decreased image clarity or reduced brightness due to natural aging of the
monitor/display. In addition, this warranty does not cover phosphor burn. Phosphor burn
can occur when a monitor is left with one static image for extended periods of time
during which the image may become burned into the phosphors.
This limited warranty does not cover damage occurring in shipping or in storage after you
purchase the monitor or damage caused by abuse, accident, disaster, misuse,
mishandling, mispackaging or shipping, improper installation, unauthorized repair or
modification, or failure to follow the manufacturer's instruction with respect to the proper
handling, operation, installation, service and maintenance of the monitor.
To obtain warranty service, call 1-800-536-6721 to obtain a return authorization and the
location of your Hitachi service center or return the monitor to the dealer from whom you
bought it (subject to that dealers' return policy). If you choose to ship the monitor rather

MAINLAND EUROPE. FOR THE UK PLEASE REFER TO THE NOTES ON THIS
PAGE.
IMPORTANT FOR UNITED KINGDOM
WORDING FOR CLASS I EQUIPMENT INSTRUCTION BOOKS AND LABELS
The mains lead on this equipment is supplied with a moulded plug incorporating a fuse,
the value of which is indicated on the pin face of the plug. Should the fuse need to be
replaced, an ASTA or BSI approved BS 1362 fuse must be used of the same rating. If

Should it be necessary to change the mains plugs, this must be carried out by a
competent person, preferably a qualified electrician.
If there is no alternative to cutting off the mains plug, ensure that you dispose of it
immediately, having first removed the fuse, to avoid a possible shock hazard by
inadvertent connection to the mains supply.
WARNING: THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE EARTHED
IMPORTANT:
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the following code:
Green and Yellow = Earth, Blue = Neutral, Brown = Live.
As these colours may not correspond with the coloured markings identifying the
terminals in your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured GREEN and YELLOW must be connected to the terminal in
the plug which is marked with the letter E or by the earth symbol
or coloured GREEN
or GREEN and YELLOW.
The wire coloured BLUE must be connected to the terminal marked with the letter N or
coloured BLUE or BLACK. The wire coloured BROWN must be connected to the
terminal marked with the letter
L
or coloured BROWN or RED.

Note:
(1) Mode 640 x 350, 640 x 400 and 720 x 400 cannot be expanded to full screen on
vertical direction.
(2) When the input display mode is not 1024x768, the display uses a smoothing and
scaling algorithm to expand the image to 1024 x 768 dots. After expansion from any
resolution other than the prime 1024x768 text and graphics will loose sharpness and
proper proportion. This panel is not recommended for extended use at resolution
other than 1024x768.

Troubleshooting
This LCD Monitor has pre-adjusted using factory standard VGA timings. Due to the
output timing differences among various VGA cards in the market, users may initially
experience an unstable or unclear display whenever a new display mode or new VGA
card is selected.
ATTENTION
1. This LCD Monitor Supports Multiple VGA Modes.
2. Refer to the Standard Timing Table for a listing of modes supported by this LCD
Monitor.
3. When selecting the shutdown function on your computer using a resolution other than
1024x768, the LCD may show checker pattern and exhibit beat noise (similar to a
wavy moiré pattern). This is not a defect, it is a transition mode where every other
pixel is turned off.
4. Some of the very basic computer wallpaper and background designs also use this
'one dot on, one dot off' pattern that is not optimal for LCD technology when you use
a resolution other than 1024x768. As a result checker pattern and beat noise may
appear. You can minimize this beat nose by selecting the auto-adjust function first,
then fine tune the image with the phase function.
PROBLEM
Picture is unclear and unstable
If there’s no display on the LCD Monitor, please perform the following steps :
1. Enter PC to “Shut Down Windows” status while you’re in MS-Windows environment.
2. Check the screen to see if there’s any black vertical stripes appear. If there are, take
advantage of the “Clock” function in OSD menu and adjust (by increment or
decrement numbers) until those bars disappear.
3. Move to “Phase” function in OSD menu again and adjust the monitor screen to its
most clear display.
4. Click “No” on “Shut Down Windows” and back to the normal PC operating
environment.
PROBLEM There is no picture on LCD Monitor
If there’s no picture on the LCD Monitor, please perform the following steps:
1. Make sure the power indicator on the LCD Monitor is ON, all connections are
secured, and the system is running on the correct timing. Refer to Chapter 3 for
information on timing.
2. Turn off the LCD Monitor and then turn it back on again. Press the right Function
Select Control button once and then press either the left or right Adjustment Control
button several times. If there is still no picture, press the other Adjustment Control
button several times.
3. If step 2 doesn’t work, connect your PC system to another external CRT. If your PC
system Functions properly with a CRT Monitor but it does not function with the LCD
Monitor, the output timing of the VGA card may be out of the LCD’s synchronous
range. Please change to an alternative mode listed in the Standard Timing Table or
replace the VGA card, and then repeat steps 1 and 2.
28
PROBLEM There is no picture on LCD Monitor
If you have chosen an output timing that is outside of the LCD Monitor’s synchronous
range (Horizontal: 24 ~ 61 KHz and Vertical: 56 ~ 75 Hz), the OSD will display an “Out
of Range” message. Choose a mode that is supported by your LCD Monitor.
Also, if the signal cable is not connected to LCD monitor at all or properly, the monitor
screen will display a message “No Input Signal”.
