Configuring your Monitor
Automatic Setup
The Setup Utility included
on the setup diskette is for
displaying dot patterns. They do
not replace or modify the display
driver.
When you first use your monitor you must perform Automatic Setup (
A
UTO
S
ETUP
). This procedure sets up your monitor to process the video signals from
your computer without image discoloration or smearing. After you perform
A
UTO
S
ETUP
, the settings are stored and used each time you turn on the
monitor.
The Automatic Setup
instructions require the
monitor to be warmed up for 15
minutes. This is not required for
normal operation.
