Using Your EV Series Monitor 1 This monitor provides high resolution performance and operates in a variety of video modes. The flat square tube design makes images easier to see. The Microprocessor-based On-Screen Display (OSD) controls let you adjust a variety of image controls, automatically storing different user modes. The OSD controls also includes seven factory preset modes.
PAGE 4
Safety precautions 2 ■ Read all instructions before using the monitor, and save them for later use. ■ Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product. ■ To avoid electrical shock, never open the monitor case. ■ Never use the monitor if the power cable has been damaged. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cable. ■ The openings in the monitor cabinet are for ventilation. Do not block or cover these openings. Do not insert anything into these openings.
PAGE 5
Installing the monitor Installing the monitor consists of two procedures: attaching the base and connecting the monitor cables. If you are setting up your system for the first time, refer to the setup poster for more information about connecting additional peripherals. To attach the base: 1 Carefully set the monitor on its side with the bottom of the monitor facing you. 2 Hold the base so that the narrow end is pointed toward the back of the monitor.
PAGE 6
To connect the power and video cables: 1 Position the monitor and the computer so that you can easily get at the back panel of each. Make sure all power cables can reach a properly grounded electrical outlet. 2 Connect one end of the video cable that came with the monitor to the matching video connector on the back of the monitor. The connector attaches only one way. If you cannot attach the cable easily, match the “D” shape of the connectors by turning the connector upside down and trying again.
PAGE 7
Removing the base To remove the base: 1 Turn off the system, then disconnect the monitor’s video and power cables. 2 Carefully set the monitor on its side with the bottom of the monitor facing you. 3 Rotate the base so that you can easily get to the retaining latch on the bottom of the monitor. 4 Press down on the retaining latch. While holding down the latch, slide the base toward the back of the monitor.
PAGE 8
Starting the monitor To start the monitor: 1 Press the power button once. The power LED lights and the monitor demagnetizes itself for about five seconds. Caution Do not store tapes or diskettes next to the monitor because the monitor generates a strong magnetic field during startup. This field can erase or damage data stored on magnetic tapes or diskettes. 2 Turn on the computer. 3 Once the system is running, the power LED on the monitor should be green. If not, check the connections.
PAGE 9
Adjusting display settings This monitor features a flywheel control that lets you adjust and save contrast, brightness, and other visual settings for the display image. A A Flywheel control B Combination power button and power LED The On Screen Display (OSD) system memorizes any changes you make to the settings, and saves them even if you turn off the monitor. OSD options ■ Contrast increases or decreases display image contrast. ■ Brightness increases or decreases display image brightness.
PAGE 10
■ Pincushion curves the sides of the display image inward or outward. ■ Trapezoid increases or decreases the trapezoid distortion of the display image. ■ Degauss removes magnetic discoloration from the display image. ■ Recall returns most options to the original factory default settings if the monitor is currently using a preset video mode. (See the “Video modes” section in this guide for information about the factory preset modes.) ■ More opens the Advanced Option menu.
PAGE 11
Video modes If you are playing a game or using a program that does not look right, you can select from several factory preset modes that may improve the display. Refer to the documentation that came with the game or program for suggested display modes. See your monitor’s online documentation for more information on the available preset modes.

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 have manufacturers of computer equipment build circuitry into their products to reduce energy consumption during time of non-use.
PAGE 13
Maintenance To keep your monitor in optimal working order: ■ Do not block the ventilation holes. ■ Do not expose the monitor to rain or use near water. ■ Keep the monitor away from radiators or heat vents. ■ Keep the monitor out of direct sunlight. ■ Keep the monitor away from any equipment that generates a magnetic field. ■ Clean the monitor using a soft cloth lightly moistened with water. Wipe the cabinet, glass panel, and controls. Caution Do not use any type of abrasive pad or cleaner.
PAGE 14
Troubleshooting If you have problems with your monitor, this troubleshooting section may help you identify and fix them. Important Make sure that the monitor has warmed up for approximately 30 minutes before making any judgments about the picture quality. No picture ■ Make sure the power cord is properly connected to both the back of the monitor and the wall outlet. ■ Make sure the video cable is securely connected to the back of the monitor and to the back of the computer.
PAGE 15
Picture is scrambled If your picture is scrambled or does not look right, you can reset your monitor to its default video mode and resolution settings. See the “Video modes” section in this guide for more information. To reset your monitor to its default settings: 1 Start the system. 2 Press CTRL. 3 Select Safe mode and wait for the system to finish starting up. Windows 98™ starts in a “safe mode,” which means that most drivers are not loaded. 4 Click Start, then select Settings, then Control Panel.
PAGE 16
Picture is fuzzy Adjust the contrast and brightness controls to improve the display image. See the “Adjusting display settings” section of this guide for more information. Picture bounces, jitters, or has waves Make sure that: ■ Non-shielded speakers are not placed too close to the monitor. ■ The monitor is not positioned too close to another monitor, electric fan, fluorescent light, metal shelf, or laser printer.
PAGE 17
Color is not uniform Make sure the monitor warms up for at least 30 minutes before making a final judgment about color uniformity. Make sure that: ■ Non-shielded speakers are not placed too close to the monitor. ■ The monitor is not positioned too close to another monitor, electric fan, fluorescent light, metal shelf, or laser printer. ■ You demagnetize the screen using the degauss feature in the OSD. Image is not sized or centered properly Use the size and center controls to adjust the image.

ECO document Important This section covers both TCO’95 and TCO‘99 approvals. See the certification label affixed to the back of your monitor to determine what TCO approval applies to your monitor. Congratulations! You have just purchased a TCO‘95/TCO'99 approved and labeled product! Your choice has provided you with a product developed for professional use.
PAGE 19
What does labeling involve? This product meets the requirements for the TCO’95/TCO'99 scheme which provides for international and environmental labeling of personal computers.

Cadmium** Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour-generating layers of certain computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO’95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm (parts per million) of Cadmium. The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that batteries, the colour-generating layers of display screens and the electrical or electronics components must not contain any cadmium.
