							2 Setting Up the Monitor
To set up the monitor, ensure that the power is turned off to the monitor, computer system, and other
attached devices, then follow the instructions below.
Unfolding the Monitor Pedestal Base
1.Lift the monitor from its box and place it face down on a flat surface.
2.Hold down the monitor base with one hand (1) then grasp the handle with the other hand and
unfold the display head 90 degrees (2).

uniformity of color or disorientation of the liquid crystals. If this occurs the screen will not recover to its
normal condition.
