Setup Important:Before connecting the monitor, turn off the computer and attached devices. Also ensure the power at the electrical outlet matches the power requirements of the monitor. Refer to the Specifications section on page 16 for more details. Attaching the Stand 1. Place the monitor face down on a soft surface to prevent the screen being scratched. 2. Insert the hooks (1) into the matching slots on the underside of the monitor (2). 3.
ENGLISH Connecting your monitor 1. Connect the signal cable to the video port on the back of your computer (figure A). Your computer may have a video adapter card installed. In this case, attach the signal cable to the connector on the video adapter card (figure B). 2. Connect the power cord to the monitor first, then firmly insert the plug into a properly grounded electrical outlet. 3. Turn on the monitor, and then the computer.
Workplace preparation Working Practices Positioning the monitor Choose a suitable place to position the monitor where it is not near fluorescent desk lighting or any equipment that produces magnetic fields that could cause interference. Ensure that the furniture or equipment can support the weight of the monitor. Allow at least 2 inches (50mm) ventilation space around the monitor.
The image is already optimized for many display modes. However, the controls can be used to adjust the image to your liking. Ic o n Co n t r o l Power swi t ch.

Deg au s s & Res et Fu n c t i o n DEGAUSS Des c r i p t i o n Demagnetizes the monitor. Discoloration of the image can be caused by gradual magnetization of the monitor components. This is particularly likely to occur when the monitor is moved or rotated. The monitor may "buzz" momentarily when this user control is selected and the image will change color and wobble for a few seconds. These effects are normal. Do not use this feature more than once in any 30 minute period. YES: The screen will degauss.
ENGLISH In fo r mat i o n Fu n c t i o n USER / PRESET MODE Des c r i p t i o n The screen displays the details of the user defined display modes. Press " " or " " to switch between the Preset or User Mode screens. The details displayed are addressability, refresh rate, horizontal frequency, sync polarity and the current mode of operation. L an g u ag e Fu n c t i o n LANGUAGE Des c r i p t i o n Select the OSD language.
Further information Display modes The display mode the monitor uses is controlled by the computer. Therefore you should refer to your computer documentation for details on how to change display modes. The image size, position and shape may change when the display mode changes. This is normal and the image can be readjusted using the monitor controls.
To benefit from power management, the monitor must be used in conjunction with a computer that implements the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) Display Power Management Signalling (DPMS) Standard. The power management feature is invoked when the computer recognizes that you have not used your mouse or keyboard for a user-definable period of time. There are several states as described in the table below.

If you have a problem setting up or using your monitor, you may be able to solve it yourself. Before calling your retailer or IBM you should try the suggested actions that are appropriate to your problem. Pro bl em Po s s i bl e Cau s e Su gg es t ed A c t i o n Ref er en c e Screen is blank and power indicator is off. No power to monitor. Ensure the electrical outlet and the monitor are both switched on. Check power cord is firmly plugged into the monitor and the electrical outlet.
Pro bl em Screen is blank and power indicator is flashing green 0.5/1.0/2.0 sec interval. Image appears to be flickering. Po s s i bl e Cau s e Su gg es t ed A c t i o n The monitor is in Power Management Standby / Suspend or Off state. Press any key on the keyboard or move the mouse to restore operation. No video signal from the computer. Check the computer is powered on. Check the signal cable is firmly connected to the computer. Check no pins are bent in the signal cable connector.
Image appears to be discolored. Po s s i bl e Cau s e Su gg es t ed A c t i o n The monitor may be affected by interference from nearby equipment. Move any equipment that produces magnetic fields (e.g. sub woofer loud speakers) further away from the monitor. If another monitor is close by, a separation distance of at leasr 12 inches (300mm) is recommended. Magnetization of monitor components has built up. Degauss the monitor using OSD manual demagnetize function.
