Setting Up the Monitor To set up the monitor, ensure that the power is turned off to the monitor, computer system, and other attached devices, then follow these steps: This monitor has multiple connectors on the back panel that can be used to connect two computers simultaneously to the monitor. Be sure the Video Channel Select button on the front of the monitor is set to the correct position to receive signals from the connected computer. See the Front Panel Controls table for more information. 1.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment: ■ Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding plug is an important safety feature. ■ Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet that is easily accessible at all times. ■ Disconnect power from the monitor by unplugging the power cord from the electrical outlet. ■ Do not place anything on power cords or cables. Arrange them so that no one may accidentally step on or trip over them.
After you turn on the monitor, install the Compaq LCD Display Assistant utility included on the CD-ROM. Use the on-screen instructions to adjust the picture quality of your monitor. To install this utility, follow the instructions on the “Configuring Your Compaq LCD Monitor” card located in the Program License Agreement packet.
1. Lay the front bezel down on a soft area to prevent it from getting scratched, defaced, or broken. 2. Remove the cover plate from the monitor base by placing your fingers in the opening on the bottom of the base and pulling upward, then pulling out to remove the cover. 3. Remove the back panel from the monitor by pushing the bottom tabs upward and pulling out to remove the panel. 4.
The DVI-D connector on this monitor uses digital video information to provide higher speed for higher display resolution. The results are more precise video displays without manually adjusting screen display quality.
Input Select Switch The Video Channel Select control is located at the left-hand side of the lower front bezel. To the left and right of the Select control are two indicators that display the video channel that is selected. The left indicator is for Channel 1 and the right indicator is for Channel 2.
Upon initial power-up, if the monitor determines that Channel 1 is connected, but the host PC is OFF or sending sleep commands, or Channel 1 does not have a video cable attached, the monitor displays Channel 2 video, if valid. If all video inputs are connected to video sources that are not active (i.e., the host CPU is OFF or is sending energy saving commands to the monitor), the monitor enters sleep mode.
If only one of the user input channels has valid video connected, that input channel is the default at power-up. If the user input video is in sleep mode, the monitor displays the “Going to Sleep” OSD message and enters sleep mode. Input channels that do not have a user-selected input follow the input recall detection scheme described in the previous section and are available for display by selecting the Input Channel button.
Removing the Monitor Base Before you can mount the monitor onto a swing arm or other mounting fixture, you must remove the monitor from the base. CAUTION: Before beginning to disassemble the monitor, be sure the monitor is turned off and the power and signal cables are both disconnected. To remove the monitor from the base, complete the following steps: 1. Lay the front bezel down on a soft area to prevent it from getting scratched, defaced, or broken. 2.
CAUTION: Ensure that the bottom of the monitor base is positioned over a table or desktop before removing the base from the monitor. 6. Remove the monitor base 3 from the monitor. When the base is removed, four threaded mounting holes are exposed on the monitor panel to be used for mounting purposes. These mounting holes are spaced 100 mm apart and are compliant with the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) standard for mounting flat panel displays.

Energy Saver Feature When the monitor is in its normal operating mode, the monitor utilizes less than 60 watts of power and the Power LED is green. The monitor also supports a reduced power state. The reduced power state will be entered into if the monitor detects the absence of either the horizontal sync signal and/or the vertical sync signal. Upon detecting the absence of these signals, the monitor screen is blanked, the backlight is turned off, and the Power LED is turned amber.
■ Use only a power source and connection appropriate for this monitor, as indicated on the marking label/back plate and the AC adapter. ■ If an extension cord or power strip is used, make sure that the cord or strip is rated for the product and that the total ampere ratings of all products plugged into the extension cord or power strip do not exceed 80% of the extension cord or strip ampere ratings limit. ■ Do not overload an electrical outlet, power strip, or convenience receptacle.
Cleaning the Monitor To clean the monitor, follow these steps: 1. Turn off the monitor and the computer. 2. Dust the monitor by wiping the screen and the cabinet with a soft, clean cloth. If the screen requires additional cleaning, use a clean cloth dampened with isopropyl alcohol. CAUTION: Do not use benzene, thinner, ammonia, or any volatile substance to clean the monitor screen or cabinet. These chemicals may damage the monitor. Never use water to clean an LCD screen.

Agency Regulatory Notices Federal Communications Commission Notice 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. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
Cables Connections to this device must be made with shielded cables with metallic RFI/EMI connector hoods to maintain compliance with FCC Rules and Regulations. Declaration of Conformity for Products Marked with FCC Logo, United States Only This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Avis Canadien Cet appareil numérique de la classe B respecte toutes les exigences du Règlement sur le matériel brouilleur du Canada. European Notice Products with the CE Marking comply with both the EMC Directive (89/336/EEC) and the Low Voltage Directive (73/23/EEC) issued by the Commission of the European Community.
EPA Energy Star Compliance Monitors that are marked with the Energy Star Logo meet the requirements of the EPA Energy Star program. As an Energy Star Partner, Compaq Computer Corporation has determined that this product meets the Energy Star guidelines for energy efficiency. Specific details on using the Energy Saving features can be found in the energy saver or power management section of the computer manual.
environmentally harmful substances are used both in the products and during their manufacture. Since it is not so far possible to satisfactorily recycle the majority of electronics equipment, most of these potentially damaging substances sooner or later enter nature. There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that are important from the viewpoints of both the work (internal) and natural (external) environments.
The energy requirements include a demand that the computer and/or display, after a certain period of inactivity, shall reduce its power consumption to a lower level in one or more stages. The length of time to reactivate the computer shall be reasonable for the user. Labelled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example, in respect of the reduction of electric and magnetic fields, physical and visual ergonomics and good usability.
The relevant TCO'99 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not contain flame retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame retardants are allowed in the printed circuit boards since no substitutes are available. Cadmium** Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colourgenerating layers of certain computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses.
Lead** Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. Lead damages the nervous system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning. The relevant TCO´99 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed. *Bioaccumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms. **Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals that are Bioaccumulative.
