Section 1 - General Information
Congratulations on purchasing the 15 inch Color Monitor. The monitor
uses one of the finest CRTs available in the industry. The .28 mm dot pitch
non-glare tube and a crisp, vivid color display with a 80 MHz video
bandwidth, make it the perfect monitor for applications ranging from CAD/
CAM or business presentations to desktop publishing.
The monitor is capable of video resolutions including VGA, Super VGA,
and XGA.
The monitor is compatible with display adapters using IBM VGA PS/2,
Super VGA, Macintosh II, and XGA. It operates at resolutions ranging
from 640 x 350 to 1024 x 768 with unlimited colors. The monitor is PnP
(Plug and Play) compliant to simplify setup and configuration in Windows
95 or other PNP operating systems.
1.1 Precautions When Using the Monitor
When setting up and using your monitor, pay special attention to the
following:
• To eliminate eye fatigue, do not use your monitor against a bright
background or where sunlight or other light sources will shine directly
on the monitor.
• Your monitor should be placed just below eye level for optimum
viewing.
• Allow adequate ventilation around the monitor so that heat from the
monitor can properly dissipate.
• Neither the monitor itself nor any other heavy object should rest on the
power cord. Damage to a power cord can cause fire or electrical
shock.
• Keep the monitor away from high capacity transformers, electric
motors and other strong magnetic fields.
• Do not use your monitor in a damp, dusty or dirty area.
• Handle the monitor with care when transporting.
• Unplug the monitor during electrical storms
1.2Power Saving Modes
VESA Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS) defines a method
for a computer to signal the monitor to reduce its power consumption when
idle. DPMS features must be supported by both the computer and the
monitor. The monitor supports DPMS “STANDBY” and “OFF” modes.
Computer support of DPMS requires the use of a DPMS compliant video
card driver.
The monitor enters DPMS STANDBY mode when the computer turns off
the Horizontal Synchronization signal. This power-saving mode reduces
the monitor’s power consumption to 15W. When the synchronization
