Never insert anything metallic into the cabinet openings of the liquid crystal display (LCD) monitor; doing so may create the danger of electric shock. To avoid electric shock, never touch the inside of the LCD monitor. Only a qualified technician should open the case of the LCD monitor. Never use your LCD monitor if the power cord has been damaged. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord, and keep the cord away from areas where people can trip over it. Be sure to hold the plug, not the cord, when disconnecting the LCD monitor from an electric socket. Openings in the LCD monitor cabinet are provided for ventilation. To prevent overheating, these openings should not be blocked or covered. Also, avoid using the LCD monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, or other soft surface. Doing so may block the ventilation openings in the bottom of the cabinet. If you put the LCD monitor in a bookcase or some other enclosed space, be sure to provide adequate ventilation. Put your LCD monitor in a location with low humidity and a minimum of dust. Do not expose the LCD monitor to rain or use it near water (in kitchens, near swimming pools, etc.). If the LCD monitor accidentally gets wet, unplug it and contact an authorized dealer immediately. You can clean the LCD monitor with a damp cloth when necessary, but be sure to unplug the LCD monitor first. Place the LCD monitor on a solid surface and treat it carefully. The screen is made of thin glass with a plastic front surface and can be damaged if dropped, hit or scratched. Do not clean the front panel with keton-type materials (e.g., acetone), ethyl alcohol, toluene, ethyl acid, methyl, or chloride ­ these may damage the panel. Locate your LCD monitor near an easily accessible AC outlet. If your LCD monitor does not operate normally ­ in particular, if there are any unusual sounds or smells coming from it ­ unplug it immediately and contact an authorized dealer or service center. High temperature can cause problems. Don't use your LCD monitor in direct sunlight, and keep it away from heaters, stoves, fireplaces, and other sources of heat. Unplug the LCD monitor when it is going to be left unused for an extended period of time. Unplug your LCD monitor from the AC outlet before any service. CAUTION RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK DO NOT OPEN CAUTION: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE COVER (OR BACK). NO USER-SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE. REFER SERVICING TO QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL. English 2 Unpacking Your Monitor Please make sure the following items are included with your monitor. If any items are missing, contact your dealer. Installation CD (Not available in all locations) Power Cord 15-pin D-Sub Signal Cable Warranty Card (Not available in all locations) S-VHS Cable SyncMaster 150MB PC V1 V2 TV Source PIP Exit Menu VOL Monitor Manual Scart Jack DC Adapter Stereo-RCA Cable (option) Stereo-Stereo Cable Batteries (AAA x 2) Remote Controller RCA Cable English 3 Setting up Your LCD Monitor Setting up an Ergonomic Workstation Consider the advice given below before you install your monitor. Monitor location Choose a position that exposes your monitor to the least reflection from lights or windows, usually at a right angle to any window. Workstation height Place your LCD monitor so that the top of the screen is slightly below your eye level when you are comfortably seated. Viewing angle Tilt the screen until you feel comfortable working with your monitor. The best viewing angle can be obtained via AutoAngleTM provided by enclosed Colorific® software. Please install the program to get the best viewing angle adjustment. Figure 1. Tilt the screen Kensington Security Slot This monitor offers you the opportunity to secure your monitor using a Kensington-type security device. Kensington lock is not included. Refer to your locking device documentation for installation instructions. Figure 2. Kensington-type security slot location English 4 Setting up Your LCD Monitor Connecting Your LCD Monitor Figure 3. Cable connections 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 Connect the power cord to the DC adapter and connect the adapter jack to the DC12V power port on the back of your monitor. Connect the signal cable to the video port on your computer. Connect the RCA cable or S-VHS cable to your DVD, VCR or camcoder. Connect the audio sources(computer, DVD, VCR or Camcoder) to proper Audio input ports(Ain(L), Ain(R) or Ain(stereo)). Connect your external audio system to the Line-out port.. Connect your headphone to the Headphone-out port. Turn on both your computer and the monitor. If necessary, install the video driver for the monitor. (See "Installing the video driver" on page 6) After your monitor has been fully installed successfully, run Auto-Adjustment. (See page12) * For SyncMaster 150MP/170MP only (SyncMaster 150MP/170MP are products with a built-in TV tuner) English 5 Setting up Your LCD Monitor Plug and Play The adoption of the new VESA® Plug and Play solution eliminates complicated and time consuming setup. It allows you to install your monitor in a Plug and Play compatible system without the usual hassles and confusion. Your PC system can easily identify and configure itself for use with your display. This monitor automatically tells the PC system its Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) using Display Data Channel (DDC) protocols so the PC system can automatically configure itself to use the flat panel display. If your PC system needs a video driver, follow the instructions given below according to the operating system your computer uses. Installing the Video Driver The CD that accompanies this product contains the necessary drivers for installing your monitor. Please refer to the driver installation instructions included with your CD package for more information. Self-Test Feature Check (STFC) Your monitor provides a self-test feature that allows you to check whether your monitor is functioning properly. Make sure that PC is selected as a primary source by checking if the source indicator LED labeled "PC" is on. If your monitor and computer are properly connected but the monitor screen remains dark and the power indicator is blinking, run the monitor self-test by following the steps given below: Power Indicator Figure 4. Power Indicator 1 2 3 Turn off both your computer and the monitor. Unplug the video cable from the back of the computer. Turn on the monitor. English 6 Setting up Your LCD Monitor If the monitor is functioning properly, you will see a white box with an error messsage "Check Signal Cable." in red color. Check Signal Cable Figure 5. Monitor self-test screen This box also appears during normal operation if the video cable becomes disconnected or damaged. 4 Turn off your monitor and reconnect the video cable; then turn on both your computer and the monitor. If your monitor screen remains blank after following the previous procedure, check your video controller and computer system; your monitor is functioning properly. Getting Help If your monitor does not display an image, check your cable connections and refer to "Troubleshooting" on page 20. If you experience difficulties with the quality of the displayed image, run Auto Adjustment (see page 12) and refer to "Adjusting Your LCD Monitor" on page 8 or "Troubleshooting" on page 20. Warm-up Time All LCD monitors need time to become thermally stable whenever you turn on the monitor after letting the monitor be turned off for a couple of hours. Therefore, to achieve more accurate adjustments for parameters, allow the LCD monitor to warm (be on) for at least 20 minutes before making any screen adjustments. English 7 Adjusting Your LCD Monitor User Controls Your LCD monitor allows you to easily adjust the characteristics of the image being displayed. All of these adjustments are made using the control buttons on the front of the monitor. While you use these buttons to adjust the controls, an on-screen menu shows you their numeric values as they change. PC V1 V2 PIP Source PIP Exit Menu VOL * 17" : SyncMaster 170MB Figure 6.
