9 How to assemble your monitor hardware 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. • The following illustrations are for your reference only. Available input and output jacks may vary depending on the purchased model. 1. Attach the monitor base. Please be careful to prevent damage to the monitor. Placing the screen surface on an object like a stapler or a mouse will crack the glass or damage the LCD substrate voiding your warranty. Sliding or scraping the monitor around on your desk will scratch or damage the monitor surround and controls. 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 face down on a flat clean padded surface. While holding the monitor firmly against the desk, pull the monitor stand arm upwards clear of the monitor. Orient and align the stand base socket with the end of the stand arm, then push them together until they click and lock into place. Gently attempt to pull them back apart to check that they have properly engaged.
10 How to assemble your monitor hardware You should position the monitor and angle the screen to minimize unwanted reflections from other light sources. 2. Connect the 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 connected to two different PCs with appropriate video systems. (Not available for analog-only models). To Connect the D-Sub Cable Connect the plug of the D-Sub cable (at the end without the ferrite filter) to the monitor video socket. Connect the other end of the cable (at the end with the ferrite filter) to the computer video socket. Tighten all finger screws to prevent the plugs from accidently falling out during use. To Connect the DVI-D Cable Connect the plug of the DVI-D cable (at the end without the ferrite filter) to the monitor video socket. Connect the other end of the cable (at the end with the ferrite filter) to the computer video socket. Tighten all finger screws to prevent the plugs from accidently falling out during use. If there is more than one video transmission method available to you, you might want to take the picture quality of each video cable into consideration before making the connection. - Better quality: DVI-D - Good quality: D-Sub The video cables included in your package and the socket illustrations on the right may vary depending on the product supplied for your region.
