Using Your Gateway Flat Panel Monitor  
Connecting the monitor  
To connect the monitor:  
1 Position your computer and the monitor so you can reach the back of each.  
2 Connect the power cord to the power connector under the back of the  
monitor.  
3 Connect the blue VGA video cable to the blue video connector under the  
back of the monitor.  
- OR -  
If your computer has a digital video connector (DVI), connect a DVI video  
cable (not included) to the white connector under the back of the monitor.  
You can buy a DVI video cable from www.gateway.com.  
2
 
Connecting the monitor  
4 Make sure that your computer is turned off, then connect the other end  
of the video cable to the matching video port on the back of your  
computer.  
5 Plug the power cord into a correctly grounded electrical outlet.  
Warning  
Because lifting your monitor off the  
desktop surface takes weight off from the  
stand, the stand will extend suddenly,  
possibly causing damage to equipment  
or injury to yourself.  
To avoid injury, always lift the monitor so  
that the stand adjusts to its full height  
before moving the monitor or turning it  
around.

Adjusting the stand  
Rotating the screen image  
Depending on the graphics card or device driver on your computer, you may  
be able to rotate the on-screen image.  
To rotate the screen image:  
On Gateway computers, you can rotate the image by pressing  
CTRL+ALT+[LEFT ARROW], and return it to normal by pressing  
Ctrl+Alt+[UP ARROW].  
For more information, click Start, Control Panel, Appearance and  
Themes (if necessary), Display, the Settings tab, Advanced, then click the  
graphics card-specific tab.  
Adjusting monitor height tension  
The stand is factory adjusted to maintain the adjusted height for Gateway  
17-inch and 19-inch flat-panel monitors. If you use this stand with a lighter  
monitor without adjusting the weight setting of the stand, the stand will raise  
your monitor, and if you use a heavier monitor, the stand will lower your  
monitor.  
To test and adjust your monitor’s height tension:  
1 Move your monitor up and down through its entire vertical range. If it does  
not stay in place when you let go, you need to change the adjustable  
stand’s height tension. You also need to adjust the stand if the amounts  
of force required to raise and lower the monitor are not equal.  
2 Adjust the height tension screw so the monitor stays in place when you  
let go. If the monitor lowers by itself when you let go, turn the screw  
clockwise several complete turns. If the monitor rises when you let go, turn  
the screw counter-clockwise several complete turns. You may need to turn  
the screw several times before the tension is correct for your monitor.  
Increase lifting tension  
(clockwise)  
Decrease lifting tension  
(counter-clockwise)  
5
   
Using Your Gateway Flat Panel Monitor  
3 Adjust the height tension screw so raising and lowering forces are equal.  
After the forces are equalized, turn the tension screw clockwise 2 to 4 turns  
to slightly decrease the lifting tension.  
4 For optimum viewing, adjust the height so the top of monitor is about  
1 inch below eye level.  
Adjusting tilt (vertical viewing angle) tension  
To test and adjust tilt tension:  
1 Tilt the monitor back and forth through its entire tilt range. If it does not  
stay in place or if movement in one direction is stiff, the tilt tension needs  
adjustment.  
2 Pull the black rubber cover away from the top of the stand, then hold it  
back with one hand.  
Increase tilt tension (clockwise)  
Decrease tilt tension  
(counter-clockwise)  
3 To increase tilt tension, turn the screw clockwise with a Phillips  
screwdriver. To decrease tilt tension, turn the screw counter-clockwise.  
Adjust until the monitor stays in place and the up and down tilting  
tensions are equal.

Adjusting the stand  
Ergonomic guidelines  
The recommended mounting heights, the range of adjustability required to  
provide comfortable use by a range of users, and the forces required for making  
adjustments to the monitor are based upon the following guildelines. These  
guidelines are based on available scientific literature and published standards.  
Screen height  
The recommended screen height for monitors (except in special circumstances,  
such as for bifocal use) is that the top of the monitor should be set at or slightly  
below (about 1 inch, or 25 mm) the user’s eye level while the user is sitting in  
a comfortable working posture. This guideline places the center of the screen  
at an ideal 15° to 20° viewing angle for most desktop monitors. If the monitor  
has multiple users, the screen height should be easily adjustable to  
accommodate each user’s height and preference.  
Screen tilt  
The screen should be tilted so the user’s line of sight is perpendicular to the  
screen. This angle creates the most consistent viewing distance when scanning  
from the top of the screen to the bottom. You may need to adjust lighting to  
avoid screen glare when the screen is tilted upward.  
Screen distance from user  
The monitor screen should first be placed at arms length from the user, then  
adjusted back and forth to suit individual preference. Vertical adjustments  
should not result in a change in viewing distance.  
Stand adjustment forces  
The force required to make any adjustment to the stand (height, tilt, pan, or  
portrait/landscape orientation) should not exceed 5.1 lbs. (2.32 kg).

Color depth, screen resolution, and screen fonts are three 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:

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 (sleep). 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 Power  
Consumption  
Blue  
17-inch: 37 W  
19-inch: 37 W  
Active Off  
Orange  
2 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.

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 monitor, contact Gateway Customer Care to identify whether a  
repair or replacement is justified based on the number of pixels affected.

Warning  
Always follow these instructions to help  
guard against personal injury and  
damage to your Gateway product.  
Your Gateway product 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.  
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.  
Care during use  
Warning  
To prevent electric shock, never remove  
the cover. No user serviceable parts  
inside. Refer servicing to qualified service  
personnel.  
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 Customer Care 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.

of your “end of life” product properly.  
Substances such as glass, plastics, and certain chemical compounds are highly recoverable, recyclable, and reusable. You can  
do your part for the environment by following these simple steps:  
When your electrical or electronic equipment is no longer useful to you, “take it back” to your local or regional waste collection  
administration for recycling.  
In some cases, your “end of life” product may be “traded in” for credit towards the purchase of new Gateway equipment. Call Gateway to  
see if this program is available in your area.  
If you need further assistance in recycling, reusing, or trading in your “end of life” product, you may contact us at the Custo mer Care  
number listed in your product’s user guide and we will be glad to help you with your effort.  
Finally, we suggest that you practice other environmentally friendly actions by understanding and using the energy-saving features of this  
product (where applicable), recycling the inner and outer packaging (including shipping containers) this product was delivered in, and by  
disposing of or recycling used batteries properly.  
With your help, we can reduce the amount of natural resources needed to produce electrical and electronic equipment, minimize the use of  
landfills for the disposal of “end of life” products, and generally improve our quality of life by ensuring that potentially hazardous  
substances are not released into the environment and are disposed of properly.
