3. How to assemble your monitor hardware
If the computer is turned on you must turn it off before continuing. 
Do not plug-in or turn-on the power to the monitor until instructed to do so. 
1. Attach the monitor base.
Protect the monitor and screen by clearing a flat open area 
on your desk and placing a soft item like the monitor 
packaging bag on the desk for padding.
Gently lay the screen down on a flat clean padded surface.
Orient and align the stand base socket with the end of the 
stand arm, then push the stand base until it locks into 
place. 
Carefully lift the monitor and place it upright on its stand 
on a flat even surface.
You should position the monitor and angle the screen to 
minimize unwanted reflections from other light sources.

  How to assemble your monitor hardware
2. Connect the PC video cable.
Do not use both DVI-D cable and D-Sub cable on the 
same PC. The only case in which both cables can be 
used is if they are connecte d to two different PCs with 
appropriate video systems. 
Connect one end of the DVI-D cable to the monitor 
DVI-D socket and the other end to the DVI-D port on 
your computer. (optional)
The DVI-D format is used for direct digital connection 
between source video and digital LCD monitors or 
projectors. The digital video signals produce a superior 
quality picture than analog video signals.
Connect the plug of the D-Sub cable (at the end without 
the ferrite filter) to the monitor D-Sub socket. Connect the 
other plug of the D-Sub cable (at the end with the ferrite 
filter) to the computer video D-Sub socket. 
Tighten all finger screws to prevent the plugs from acci-
dently falling out during use.

3. Connect the power cable to the monitor.
Plug one end of the power cord into the socket labelled 
‘POWER IN’ on the rear of the monitor. Do not connect 
the other end to a power point just yet. 
4. Route the cables behind the monitor stand.
Route the cables together via the loose bracket as 
illustrated.
 
						

							
10  How to assemble your monitor hardware  
Alternatively, you may release the cable retaining clip by 
squeezing the clip inwards as illustrated.

please keep the cable retaining clip somewhere safe for 
future storage.
Position the cables together and route them through the 
hole in the monitor stand. 
5. Connect the power cable to a wall power outlet and press  Power  on the monitor.
Plug the other end of the power cord into a power outlet 
and turn it on.
Picture may differ from product supplied in your region.
