Brightness 
Adjusting the monitors brightness is one of the most important 
factors for proper image quality. If these controls are set 
incorrectly, the Gain, TGC, Dynamic Range and even Power 
Output may have to be changed more often than necessary to 
compensate.
The proper setup displays a complete gray scale. The lowest 
level of black should just disappear into the background and the 
highest white should be bright, but not saturated.
To adjust the brightness:
1.  Press the right adjustment button to increase brightness. 
2.  Press the left adjustment button to decrease brightness. 
The amount of brightness is shown on a slide bar on the 
screen. 
Figure 1-8. Brightness adjustment button
1.  Adjustment (+) Button
2.  Adjust (-) Button
Record any changes to the final brightness settings and leave 
this information with the system. Generally speaking, do not 
change the controls once they have been set. Once set, the 
display then becomes the reference for the hard copy device(s).
NOTE:  After readjusting the monitors Brightness, readjust all preset 
and peripheral settings.Table 1-2:  Brightness Settings (Recommended)

Circuit breaker 
The Circuit Breaker is located at the rear panel of the system. 
When set to On, the Circuit Break supplies main power to all 
internal systems. When set to Off, the Circuit Breaker removes 
main power from all internal systems. The circuit breaker 
automatically shuts off power to the system in case of a power 
overload.
If a power overload occurs:
1.  Turn off all peripheral devices.
2.  Reactivate the Circuit Breaker switch.
The Circuit Breaker switch should stay in the On position; DO 
NOT hold the switch in the On position. If the Circuit Breaker 
switch remains On, follow the Power On procedure previously 
described.
NOTE:  If the Circuit Breaker switch does not remain in the On position 
or trips again:
1.  Disconnect the Power Cable.
2. Call Service immediately.
DO NOT attempt to use the system.
