2-2. Connecting the Signal Cable
- Be sure that the power switches of both the PC and the monitor are OFF.
1. Plug the signal cable into the connector at the rear of the monitor and the other end of the cable into the video connector on the PC.
After connecting, secure the connection with the screw-in fasteners.

2. Plug the power cord into the power connector on the rear of the monitor.
3. Plug the other end of the power cord into a power outlet.
Use the enclosed power cord and connect to the standard power outlet of your country.
Be sure to remain within the rated voltage of the power cord. Not doing so may result in fire or electric shock.
The equipment must be connected to a grounded main outlet.
Not doing so may result in fire or electric shock.
4. Adjust the "height", "front and back position" and "angle" of the monitor.
Grip both side of the center part of the monitor and move slowly (refer to the right figure.)
(1) Adjust the height of the monitor. To heighten, push the monitor backward. To lower, pull the monitor forward.
(2) Adjust the position and angle of the monitor.
To adjust the angle of the monitor, hold the stand with one hand and tilt the monitor with another hand by holding the upper side of the cabinet.
(3) If necessary, fine adjust the height of the monitor.
5. Turn on the monitor's Power switch and then turn on the PC's power.
The monitor's power indicator will light up (blue).
If an image does not appear, refer to the "7. TROUBLESHOOTING" for advice.
Whenever finished, turn off the PC and the monitor.
- When turning on the monitor, the kind of the input signal (Signal1 or 2/Analog or Digital) is displayed for a few seconds on the right top corner of the screen.
- Adjust brightness of the screen depending on the brightness of your environment. Too dark or too bright of a screen can cause eyestrain.
- Be sure to take adequate rests. A 10-minute rest period each hour is suggested.
6. When using the software, ScreenManager Pro for LCD (for Windows), connect the upstream port of the monitor to the downstream port of the USB compliant PC or another hub with the USB cable.
After connecting the USB cable, the USB function can be set up automatically. For further details about the "ScreenManager Pro for LCD", refer to the readme.txt in the CD-ROM.
2-3. Connecting Two PCs to the Monitor
Two PCs can be connected to the monitor through the DVI-I and the D-Sub mini 15 pin connector on the back of the monitor.

Selecting the Active Input
The Input Signal Selection switch on the control panel can be used to select either SIGNAL 1 or SIGNAL 2 as the active input at any time. Every time the switch is touched, the input changes. When switching the signal, the kind of the input signal (Signal 1 or 2/ Analog or Digital) is displayed for a few seconds on the right top corner of the screen.
The Priority Input Signal
This function is used to select which PC will have priority to control the monitor when utilizing two PCs. The monitor constantly checks the input signals and switches automatically in accordance with the "Input Priority" setting (see table below). Once a priority is set, whenever a change of signal is detected at the selected input, the monitor will switch the input to that signal.
In the case of only one signal being present at either input, the monitor automatically detects and displays that signal.

Performance
|
1
(SIGNAL 1 - DVI-I Input Connector)
|
If signals from both inputs are present, the monitor gives preference to Signal 1 in the following cases.
- When the power of the monitor is turned ON.
- When the signal input to Signal 1 is changed even if active input was Signal 2.
|
2
(SIGNAL 2 - DVI-I Input Connector)
|
If signals from both inputs are present, the monitor gives preference to Signal 2 in the following cases.
- When the power of the monitor is turned ON.
- When the signal input to Signal 2 is changed even if active input was Signal 1.
|
Manual
|
The monitor will not detect signals automatically in this mode. Select the active input by pressing the Input Signal Selection Button on the monitor's control panel.
|
- When the "1" or "2" is selected, the power saving mode of the monitor activates only if both PCs are in power saving mode.
