VGM-1731 (259-4092) Monitor Setup Faxback Doc. # 6097 This monitor can be connected to any IBM compatible analog display adapter. Such adapters include VGA, 8541/A, XGA, and the built in video system of the IBM PS/2 computers and compatibles. Also, this monitor can be connected to a high resolution (1280 X 1024) video controller, such as those used with CAD/CAM applications. Both connections can be used separately or simultaneously. Selection between the two signal sources is controlled by a front panel switch. To attach the monitor to your system, use the following instructions: 1. Turn off the power to the computer. 2. Insert the AC power cord into the monitor and then into an AC power outlet. 3. Connect the video signal cable to the D-Sub or the BNC connectors on the rear of the monitor. Note: Two signal sources can be connected to the monitor at the same time. In this case, use both connections, D-Sub and BNC. The front panel switch selects source input. 4. Connect the video signal cable to the video port of the computer's controller. 5. Set the Video Signal Termination Switch to the proper setting. For normal operation this switch is in the 75 Ohm position. Set this switch to the "HIGH" position if multiple monitors are "daisy chained" or "looped" together and this monitor is the last monitor in the chain or loop. 6. Set the Video Signal Level switch 1.0V/0.7V to the proper position. Refer to your video adapter's documentation for information about the video output level. 7. Turn on the monitor and the computer. ┌────────────────────┐ │Safety Information: │ └────────────────────┘ 1. Make sure the voltage designation on your monitor corresponds to local electrical supply before connecting the AC power cord to an outlet. 2. To avoid electrical shock never touch the inside of the monitor. Only a qualified technician should open the monitor's case. 3. Never use your monitor if the power cord has been damaged. Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord, and keep the cord away from where people will walk on it. 4. Be sure to hold the plug, not the cord, when disconnecting the monitor from an electric socket. 5. Openings in the monitor cabinet are provided for ventilation. To prevent overheating, these openings should not be blocked or covered. Also, avoid using the monitor on a bed, sofa, rug, or other soft surface, because doing so may block the ventilation openings in the bottom of the cabinet. If you put the monitor in a bookcase or some other enclosed space, be sure that adequate ventilation is provided. 6. Never insert anything metallic into the monitor opening. Doing so may create a danger of electric shock. 7. Put your monitor in a location with low humidity and a minimum of dust. Avoid places like damp basements or dusty hallways. 8. Do not expose the monitor to rain or use it near water (in Kitchens, next to swimming pools, etc.). If the monitor accidentally gets wet, unplug it and contact an authorized dealer immediately. You can clean the monitor with a damp cloth when necessary, but be sure to unplug the monitor first. 9. Place the monitor on a solid surface, and treat it gently. The screen is made of glass and can be damaged if dropped or hit sharply. 10. If your monitor does not operate normally; in particular, if there are any unusual sounds or smells coming from it, immediately unplug it and contact an authorized dealer. 11. High temperatures can cause trouble. Don't try to use your monitor in direct sunlight, and keep it away from heaters, stoves, fireplaces, and other sources of heat. 12. Unplug the monitor when it is going to be left unused for an extended period of time. 13. Unplug your monitor from the AC outlet before any service. 14. Install your AC outlet near the monitor and be sure it is easily accessible. (rjs/BKL-01/16/96)
