• Unplug the power cord of the display from the AC outlet to turn off and reset the display, or simultaneously press the

RESET and Power buttons.

Image persistence

• Image persistence is when a “ghost” image of an image remains on the screen even after the display has been turned off.

Unlike CRT monitors, LCD display’s image persistence is not permanent. To alleviate image persistence, turn the monitor
off for as long as an image was displayed. If an image was on the display for one hour and a “ghost” of that image remains,
the display should be turned off for one hour to erase the image.

NOTE:

 As with all personal display devices, it is recommended to use a moving screen saver at regular intervals

       whenever the screen is idle or turning off the monitor when not in use.

Message “OUT OF RANGE” is displayed (screen is either blank or shows rough images only)

• Image is displayed only roughly (pixels are missing) and OSD warning “OUT OF RANGE” is displayed: Either signal clock

or resolution is too high. Choose one of the supported modes.

• OSD warning “OUT OF RANGE” is displayed on a blank screen: Signal frequency is out of range. Choose one of the

supported modes.

Image is unstable, unfocused or swimming is apparent

• Signal cable should be completely attached to the computer.
• Use the OSD Image Adjust controls to focus and adjust display by increasing or decreasing the fine total. When the display

mode is changed, the OSD Image Adjust settings may need to be re-adjusted.

• Check the display and your display card with respect to compatibility and recommended signal timings.
• If your text is garbled, change the video mode to non-interlace and use 60Hz refresh rate.

LED on display is not lit 

(no green or amber color can be seen)

• Power Switch should be in the ON position and power cord should be connected.

Display image is not sized properly

• Use the OSD Image Adjust controls to increase or decrease the Coarse total.
• Check to make sure that a supported mode has been selected on the display card or system being used.

(Please consult display card or system manual to change graphics mode.)

No Video

• If no video is present on the screen, turn the Power button off and on again.
• Make certain the computer is not in a power-saving mode (touch the keyboard or mouse).
