Chapter 1 Installation 

 

Unpacking  

Before unpacking the LCD Monitor, prepare a suitable workspace for your Monitor and computer. You need 

a stable and clean surface near a wall power outlet. Make sure that LCD Monitor has enough space around it 

for sufficient airflow. Though the LCD Monitor uses very little power, some ventilation is needed to ensure 

that the Monitor does not become too hot.   

After you unpack the LCD Monitor, make sure that the following items were included in the box:   

*

*

  LCD Monitor   

*  User's Manual on CD

If you find that any of these items is missing or appears damaged, contact your dealer immediately. 

Connecting the LCD Monitor and Base 

When you open the box to take the base and put on 
the desk first. Then connect the LCD Monitor and 
base please.
