that the Monitor does not become too hot.  
After you unpack the LCD Monitor, make sure that the following items were included in the box:  
*
*
*
LCD Monitor  
1.8M Monitor-to-PC VGA Cable  
Base

Viewing Angle Adjustment  
The LCD Monitor is designed to allow users to  
have a comfortable viewing angle. The viewing  
angle can be adjusted from -5°to +30°.(See fig.  
1-2)  
Figure 1-2  
Warning  
Do not force the LCD Monitor over its maximum viewing angle settings as stated above. Attempting this will result in  
damaging the Monitor and Monitor stand.

4. Make sure connection are secure.  
+-Attention  
This device must be connected to an off-the-shelf video cable in order to comply with FCC regulations. A ferrite-core  
interface cable is included in the LCD Monitor package.  
This device will not be in compliance with FCC regulations when a non-ferrite-core video cable is used.  
Connecting the AC Power  
1. Connect the power cord to the LCD Monitor.(See  
Fig. 1-6)  
2. Connect the power cord to an AC power source.

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  
This LCD Monitor Supports Multiple VGA Modes.  
Refer to the Standard Timing Table for a listing of modes supported by this LCD Monitor.  
PROBLEM Picture is unclear and unstable  
The picture is unclear and unstable, 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. If there is still no picture, press the 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.  
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 ~ 80 KHz and Vertical: 56 ~ 75 Hz),  
the OSD will display a “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”.
