*Interpolated Resolutions: Text may offer a different appearance if the image resolution is lower than the pixel count of the LCD module. This is normal and  
necessary for all current flat panel technologies when displaying non-native resolutions full screen. In flat panel technologies, each dot on the screen is actually  
one pixel, which means that expanding lower resolutions to full screen requires interpolation.

Only use the power cable supplied with your specific LaCie  
monitor. Do not use a power cable from another LaCie de-  
vice or another manufacturer. Using any other power cable  
or power supply may cause damage to the device and void  
your warranty.  
Always remove the power cable before transporting your  
LaCie monitor. Failure to remove the power cable may re-  
sult in damage to your monitor and will void your warranty.  
You may use your LaCie monitor when in a foreign country  
thanks to its 100-240 Volt power supply. To use this fea-  
ture, you may need to purchase an appropriate adapter or  
cord. LaCie accepts no responsibility for any damage to the  
drive resulting from the use of an inappropriate adapter.  
Using an adapter other than one authorized by LaCie will  
void your warranty.

2.3. VESA 100 Compliant Alternative Stand  
The base of the LaCie 324i is compatible with attachments that  
are VESA 100 compliant. Prepare the VESA 100 compliant at-  
tachment (i.e. flexible monitor arm or stand) before disconnecting  
the 324i from its original stand.  
Consider the following when using an alternative stand or attach-  
ment for your LaCie 324i monitor:  
For safety reasons, please make sure that the stand can  
support the weight of the LaCie 324i LCD monitor (approxi-  
mately 11kg/25 lbs.).  
To avoid damage to the monitor and the alternative stand,  
please use the screws that are included with the monitor.  
Refer to the documentation that came with the VESA 100  
compliant alternative stand for instructions on how to at-  
tach the 324i.  
2.3.1. Remove the monitor stand for  
mounting  
Fig. 14  
To prepare the monitor for an alternate stand:  
1. Power off the monitor and your computer.  
2. Disconnect all cables from the monitor, including the power  
cable.  
3. Place hands on each side of the monitor and slide it up to  
the highest position.  
4. To prevent any scratching or damage, spread a soft, non-  
abrasive cloth on a smooth and sturdy surface. Gently place  
the monitor face on the non-abrasive surface.  
5. There are four screws that keep the 324i attached to its origi-  
nal stand. The screws may be found in the corners of the  
square plate on the back of the monitor (Fig. 14). To access  
them, use a small flathead screwdriver to remove the four  
round covers that protect the screws. Please keep the screw  
covers in a safe location in case you wish to reattach the  
324i to its original stand.  
6. Remove the four mounting screws from the holes in the stand  
(Fig. 14). Keep the screws in a safe location as you will most  
likely use them when placing the 324i on the alternative  
stand.

Problem  
Solution  
No picture  
The signal cable should be completely connected to your computer’s display port.  
If applicable, the display card should be completely seated in its slot.  
To properly receive power on the 324i, make certain that: the power cable is plugged into a  
live electrical outlet; the power switch on the bottom is switched on; and the power button on  
the front has been turned on.  
Confirm that the resolution selected in the operating system is supported by the monitor. Con-  
sult your display card or system manual to change the graphics mode).  
Check the monitor and your display card with respect to compatibility and recommended set-  
tings.  
Check the signal cable connector for bent or pushed-in pins.  
Verify that you have selected the right video input port. Cycle through the inputs by tapping the  
INPUT key on the front panel of your monitor.  
Turn the monitor Off and On using the front power button.  
Power key does not respond  
Unplug the monitor power cord from the AC outlet to turn off and reset the monitor.  
Confirm that the electrical outlet is working properly.  
LED on monitor is not lit  
Image Persistence  
Confirm that: the power cable is plugged into a live socket; the power switch on the bottom is  
ON; and the power button is turned on.  
Image persistence is a residual or “ghost” image of a static figure or object. The static figure or  
object remains visible on the screen even though a new image is on the display. This is usually  
due to static images being displayed for a long period of time. Fortunately, image persistence  
on LCD monitors is not permanent. To alleviate image persistence, turn off the monitor for as  
long as the previous image was displayed. For example, if an image was on the monitor for  
one hour and a residual image remains, the monitor should be turned off for one hour to erase  
the image.  
LaCie recommends using a moving screen saver at regular intervals whenever the screen is idle.  
It is also a good idea to turn off the monitor when it is not in use.

Problem  
Solution  
OSD warning OUT OF RANGE  
is displayed when powering  
on the 324i or changing the  
input source. An image may  
be poorly displayed with pixels  
missing.  
Either the signal clock or the resolution is too high. Choose one of the supported modes.  
Image is unstable or unfocused  
The signal cable should be completely attached to the computer.  
Use the OSD Image Adjust controls to focus and adjust the display by increasing or decreasing  
the Fine total. When the display mode is changed, the OSD Image Adjust settings may need  
to be readjusted.  
Make sure your computer’s video output or the video card is compatible with the 324i resolu-  
tions.  
If your text is garbled, change the video mode to non-interlaced and use a 60Hz refresh rate.  
HDMI and/or Component  
Video display image is not  
sized properly  
Use the OSD Component or HDMI Settings/Aspect Ratio control to adjust the image size.  
Make sure your display video card and system are compatible with the mode that you have  
selected. If necessary, consult the video card or system manual to change the graphics settings.  
No signal  
Make certain the computer is not in sleep or stand-by mode. Touch the keyboard or mouse to  
exit stand-by mode.  
If video does not return to the screen, turn the bottom power switch OFF and ON.  
Audio is not present from  
speakers or headphones at-  
tached to the 324i  
Verify that your headphone or speaker cable is properly plugged into the 324i audio out port.  
For audio from a computer: verify that the computer-to-monitor audio cable is properly plugged  
into your computer audio output as well as the 324i audio input.  
For Component Audio, verify that the both of the stereo RCA ends are plugged into your source  
and the 324i.  
The volume may be too low. Check the volume level in the operating system, source, and 324i  
audio settings.  
The audio output may be muted in your operating system, source, and/or 324i audio settings.
