Operator Controls and Indicators
Operator controls include a power switch (an option), a button panel for accessing the setup
menus (OSD), and a luminance control. The VT170 Military / Marine Series monitors have
an LED to indicate power on. Figure 2 show a drawing of the VT170RM to illustrate the layout.

The power switch controls main power to the monitor. Power on is indicated by an
LED next to the switch.
•
The OSD controls are discussed in detail in a following section.

The luminance control controls the backlight. The range of the control is determined
by the brightness setting made with the OSD

The monitor is pre-aligned at the factory. However, minor adjustments are usually necessary
following installation to optimize the monitor’s performance with a particular video source and
particular video formats. This section of the manual describes the operator accessible controls that
allow for such adjustment. It goes on to describe a typical setup procedure.
