Net Mode vs PC Mode
The monitor can operate as a stand-alone Internet monitor (Net mode) or as a standard external
monitor connected to a PC (PC mode).
●
Net Mode: No PC is required. An active Ethernet cable is required for Internet access. In this
mode you can browse the Internet, watch videos, listen to music, or view photographs.
●
PC Mode: A PC is required. In this mode the monitor functions as a standard monitor and is
totally independent of the Net mode interface and settings.
You can set up the monitor for both Net mode and PC mode and switch between the two modes by
pressing the Mode button on the front of the monitor.

2 Setting Up the Monitor
You can install the monitor on a desktop or mount it on a mounting fixture such as a wall mount or
swing arm. Be sure to place the monitor in a convenient, well- ventilated location. Connect the
monitor cables after you have installed the monitor.
To set up the monitor, ensure that the power is turned off to the monitor and all attached devices,
then follow the instructions below for your configuration.
Preparing the Monitor for Desktop Use
To assemble the monitor for desktop use:
1. Set the monitor screen face down on a flat, soft, protected table or desk surface with the support
column overhanging the edge.
2. Align the center column with the base and push the center column onto the base (1). Then align
the monitor support column with the center column and push the monitor all the way onto the
center column (2) until it snaps securely in place.

To attach the monitor to a mounting fixture:
1. Set the monitor screen face down on a flat, soft, protected table or desk surface with the support
column overhanging the edge.
2. If the center column and base are attached to the monitor, pinch together the two release tabs
on the bottom of the base (1) and pull the base off the center column (2). Then press the button
on the rear of the center column (3) and slide the center column off the monitor support column

4. To attach the monitor to a mounting fixture, insert four 10mm screws through the holes on the
mounting plate and into the mounting holes on the monitor.
CAUTION: This monitor supports the VESA industry standard 100 mm mounting holes. To
attach a third-party mounting solution to the monitor, four 4 mm, 0.7 pitch, and 10 mm long
screws are required. Longer screws must not be used because they may damage the monitor. It
is important to verify that the manufacturer’s mounting solution is compliant with the VESA
standard and is rated to support the weight of the monitor display panel. For best performance, it
is important to use the power and video cables provided with the monitor.

Entering User Modes
The video controller signal may occasionally call for a mode that is not preset if:
●
●
You are not using a standard graphics adapter.
You are not using a preset mode.
It this occurs, you may need to readjust the parameters of the monitor screen by using the on-screen
display. Your changes can be made to any or all of these modes and saved in memory. The monitor
automatically stores the new setting, then recognizes the new mode just as it does a preset mode. In
addition to the factory preset modes, there are at least 10 user modes that can be entered and
stored.

Energy Saver Feature
The monitors support a reduced power state. The reduced power state will be entered into if the
monitor detects the absence of either the horizontal sync signal and/or the vertical sync signal. Upon
detecting the absence of these signals, the monitor screen is blanked, the backlight is turned off, and
the power light is turned amber. When the monitor is in the reduced power state, the monitor will
utilize less than one watt of power. There is a brief warm up period before the monitor will return to its
normal operating mode.
Refer to the computer manual for instructions on setting energy saver features (sometimes called
power management features).
NOTE: The above power saver feature only works when connected to computers that have energy
saver features.
By selecting the settings in the monitor's Energy Saver utility, you can also program the monitor to
enter into the reduced power state at a predetermined time. When the monitor's Energy Saver utility
causes the monitor to enter the reduced power state, the power light blinks amber.
