Precautions  
The monitor may be damaged if placed too near a source of heat. Be  
aware of the location of radiators, cookers, open fires etc.  
Do not cover the slots and openings on the back or top of the cabinet as  
the monitor requires ventilation. The monitor should be located in a well-  
ventilated room to prevent the possibility of overheating.  
Do not allow sharp objects such as knives, pens, or pencils near the  
screen. If such objects touch the screen, the LCD panel will be  
permanently scratched.  
When cleaning this monitor, disconnect it from the electric socket to  
avoid any danger of electrocution. A soft, lint-free cloth should be used  
to clean the outside of the monitor. A cloth very slightly moistened with  
a mild detergent solution will clean stubborn stains. Keep liquids away  
from the display screen, including sprays. Do not spray liquid directly - it  
is best to lightly spray on to a cloth and wipe. If liquid gets inside the  
monitor it can cause electrical shock and/or damage to the unit.  
If you encounter a problem, please check the "Troubleshooting" section  
first. If this does not resolve the problem do not attempt to repair the  
monitor by yourself; opening or removing covers can lead to injury or  
death through electrocution among other hazards. Please contact a  
qualified engineer if you find the troubleshooting section does not help.

graphics card on the computer. Then tighten the  
thumbscrews on the connector.

(Attached)  
WARNING: The D-Sub 15 pin plug of the VGA cable is trapezoid in shape. Make  
sure the shape of the plug matches the shape of the socket it is inserted  
into, and that none of the pins are bent or otherwise damaged.  
Switching the Power  
First, switch the power on to the monitor, then switch the power on to the computer.  
When you see the LED on the power button go green, this indicates the computer is  
ready for use. Allow about 10 seconds for the video signal to appear. If you do not see
