An outdoor antenna system should not be placed in the vicinity of overhead power lines, electric lights, or power circuits. When installing an outdoor antenna, be careful to not touch any power lines or circuits as contact with these lines can be fatal. Do not insert any foreign objects through the ventilation openings to the display. It may touch dangerous voltage points or damage parts. If an outdoor antenna or cable system is connected to the display, be sure the antenna or cable system is grounded to provide some protection against voltage surges and static charge buildups. Section 810 of the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA No.70-1984, provides information about proper grounding of the mast and supporting structure, grounding of the lead-in wire to an antenna discharge unit, size of grounding conductors, location of antenna discharge unit, connection to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode. If this display is equipped with separate speakers, please remove the speakers prior to moving the display. Moving the display with the speakers attached may cause damage or injury. Disconnect the unit from the main supply and refer servicing to qualified service personnel under the following conditions: - Power cord or plug is damaged or frayed. - Liquid has been spilled into the product and/or the unit has been exposed to water or moisture. - Unit does not operate normally when the operating instructions are not followed. Adjust only those controls that are covered by the operating instructions, improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage which often requires extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the unit to normal operation. - Unit has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged. - Unit exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service. Cleaning & Maintenance Disconnect from the electric outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use only a slightly damp cloth for cleaning. Special Warranty Information Cell Defects Although the display panels are produced with more than 99% percent active cells, there may be some cells that do not produce light or remain lit. This is considered normal and not a manufacturer defect. 3 Regulatory Notice FCC Statement The Federal Communications Commission Radio Frequency Interference Statement includes the following warning: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

The RS-232 serial terminal conforms to the RS-232C interface specification. The computer will require software application (such as HyperTerminal) which allows the computer to send and receive control data that can support the communication parameters described in this section. Interface Parameters These parameters are required to setup communications with the monitor. RS-232C Pint Layout Specification RS-232C Pin 1 Received Line Signal Detector (Data Carrier Detect) Sync Method Synchronous Pin 2 Received Data (RXD) Baud Rate 9600 bps Pin 3 Transmit Data (TXD) Parity None Pin 4 Data Terminal Ready (DTR) Character Length 8 Bits Pin 5 Signal Ground Stop Bit 1 Bit Pin 6 Data Set Ready (DSR) Pin 7 Request To Send (RTS) Pin 8 Clear To Send (CTS) Pin 9 Ring Indicator Command Format and Sequencing Data Structure Overview In order to transmit data from the computer to the monitor, the data must be sent in a structured format. The format used by this monitor follows a COMMAND:DATA sequence. All commands and its related data are formatted using a 3-character format separated by a colon in-between. For example, the Power On command is sent as: PWR:PON where PWR is telling the monitor that it is receiving a Power related command, followed by the actual command to carry out. Communications Overview As commands are sent from the PC, the monitor will provide feedback regarding the state of command execution back to the PC. The monitor provides information status to inform: 1. Whether the command sent by the computer was received by the monitor. 2. Whether the COMMAND:DATA structure was correctly formatted for execution by the monitor. 3. Whether the command sent was successfully carried out by the monitor. 21 Display Connections The following is an example of the communication process between the PC and the monitor using a program such as HyperTerminal. Example: Read Power Status followed by Power On command and input select to AV1 with disruption PC Status Send command to read power status Rcv acknowledgment of command received Rcv OFF status from monitor Rcv confirmation of command complete Send command to POWER ON the monitor Rcv acknowledgment of command Rcv confirmation of command complete Send command to switch to AV1 input Rcv acknowledge of command not accepted Send command to void previous command Rcv acknowledgment of command received Rcv confirmation of command complete Send command to switch to AV1 input again Rcv acknowledgment of command received Rcv confirmation of command complete Ready to send another command Monitor Status Monitor rcv's command Sends confirmation of command rcv'd to PC Sends actual status of power to PC (OFF) Sends confirmation of command completion Monitor is not busy and waiting for command Sends confirmation of command rcv'd to PC Monitor powers on and sends confirmation Monitor is busy doing another task Sends busy status because it can't rcv data Rcv's command to clear previous command Sends confirmation of command rcv'd to PC Clears command buffer and sends confirm Monitor is not busy and rcv's command Sends confirmation of command rcv'd to PC Monitor switches to AV1 and sends confirm Monitor is ready to accept another command Command and Data Tables Description Read Data Volume Power On/Off Brightness Contrast Color Tint Sharpness Input Select V-Size V-Position H-Size H-Position Recall Mute Language Bass Treble Balance Surround Sound Closed Captioning Aspect Ratio PIP PIP Position Command REA VOL PWR BRT CON CLR TNT SHP INP VSZ VPS HSZ HPS RCL MUT LNG BAS TRB BAL SRS CCD ZOM PIP PIS Data Options VOL, PWR, BRT, CON, CLR, TNT, SHP, INP, VSZ, VPS, HSZ, HPS, RCL, MUT, LNG, BAS, TRB, BAL, SRS, CCD, ZOM, PIP, PIS,SIN, IKP, DZM, BI3, B14,BI5, PTM 001...100 PON=Power On, OFF=Power Off 001...100 001...100 001...100 001...100 001...100 AV1=AV Input 1, AV2=AV Input 2, CP1=Component Input 1,CP2=Component Input 2, RG1=RGB, HDM=HDMI 001....100 001...100 001...100 001...100 000 MON=On, OFF=Off ENG=English, SPA=Spanish, FFR=French 001....100 001...100 001...100 OFF=Off, STR=Stereo, MON=Mono OFF, CC1, CC2, CC3, CC4, TX1, TX2, TX3, TX4 WID=16:9, PAN=Panorama Stretch, NOR=4:3 with black bars PON=PIP On, OFF=PIP Off PS1=Position 1, PS2=Position 2, PS3=Position 3, PS4=Position 4 22 Display Connections Description Sub-Source Input Skip Default Aspect Image Shift Full White Multi-Color Picture Mode Power on Sequence Sleep Timer Command SIN IKP DZM BI3 BI4 BI5 PTM POQ SLP Data Options AV1=AV Input 1, AV2=AV Input 2,CP1=Component Input 1, CP2=Component Input 2, NOR= Normal, AV1=AV Input 1, AV2=AV Input 2, CP1=Component 1, CP2=Component 2, RG1=RGB, HDM=HDMI WID=16:9, PAN=Panaorama Stretch, NOR=4:3 with black bars OFF=Turn Off, 10S=10 Sec, 20S=20 Sec, 30S=30 Sec OFF=Turn Off, 10M=10 Min, 60M=60 Min OFF=Turn Off, 10M=10 Min, 60M=60 Min CNM=Cinema, VVD=Vivid, STD=Standard, USR=User 1ST=1 STEP, 2ST=2 STEP OFF=OFF, 15M=15 MIN, 30M=30 MIN, 45M= 45 MIN, 60M=60 MIN, 90M=90 MIN, 1H2=120 MIN 23 Display Connections 24 Flat Panel Monitor Basic Operations Basic Operations 25 Basic Operations Basic Operations Powering On/Off Using Front Panel or Remote Control Make sure the monitor is plugged into the wall outlet.

However, not all available video content fits perfectly in a widescreen (16:9) format resulting in unused screen space. This monitor is capable of displaying images in various formats that is suitable for various types of content depending on its size. For 4:3 (Square) Content Content from traditional TV, VCR, and some DVD's are formatted using a "square" 4:3 format. When viewing content in this "Square" format the following viewing modes are suitable. 4:3 (NORMAL) In 4:3 mode, the original 4:3 image is preserved but black bars are used to fill the the extra space on the left and right. 16:9 (FULL) The original 4:3 image is proportionally stretched to fill the entire screen. This is the default setting from factory. PANORAMA The original 4:3 image is expanded in both the horizontal and vertical directions. The center of the picture is almost normal while the edges are considerably expanded. 30
