into the AC power connector on the back of the
monitor, and the male end into a properly-grounded,
three-prong AC outlet.
7) After connecting the power supply and signal
cables, re-attach the stand cover by placing the slots
on the bottom back into the holes on the stand. Once
securely connected, you should hear a “click” sound
when it latches.

3.2 Location Considerations
Important Info:Correct placement and adjustment of the monitor can reduce eye, shoulder and neck fatigue.
When setting up your monitor, keep the following in mind:
• For optimal viewing, avoid placing the monitor against a bright background or where sunlight or other light sources may
reflect on the display area of the monitor; place your monitor no closer than 12 inches and no further away than 28 inches
from your eyes. The optimal distance is 24 inches.
• Position the monitor at a 90° angle to windows and other light sources to minimize glare and reflections. Adjust the monitor
tilt so that ceiling lights do not reflect on your screen.
• Rest your eyes periodically by focusing on an object at least 20 feet away, and blink often.
• Adjust the monitor height so that the top of the screen is at or slightly below eye level. Your eyes should look slightly
downward when viewing the middle of the screen.
• Place the monitor away from strong magnetic or electromagnetic fields, such as high-capacity transformers, electric motors,
large-current power lines and steel pillars. Magnetism can cause distortion in the picture and/or color purity.
• Avoid covering the slots or openings of the monitor. Allow adequate ventilation around the monitor so the heat from the
monitor can properly dissipate. Avoid putting the monitor into any enclosure that does not have adequate ventilation.
• Avoid exposing the monitor to rain, excessive moisture or dust, because this can cause a fire or shock hazard.
• Avoid placing the monitor, or any other heavy object, on the power cord. Damage to the power cord can cause a fire or
electrical shock.
• Handle the monitor with extreme care when transporting.
3.3 Ergonomic Considerations
To realize the maximum ergonomic benefits, we recommend the following:
• Adjust the brightness until the background raster disappears
• Do not position the Contrast control to its maximum setting
• Use the preset Size and Position controls with standard signals
• Use the preset Color Setting and Sides Left/Right controls
• Use non-interlaced signals with a vertical refresh rate between 75-160Hz
• Do not use primary color blue on a dark background, as it is difficult to see and may produce eye fatigue due to
insufficient contrast

3.5 Using the USB Ports
The Universal Serial Bus (USB) ports allow you to connect different desktop peripherals to your computer. By using the USB
ports on your LaCie photon20visionII monitor, you can connect your mouse, keyboard or other USB compliant devices to your
monitor, instead of connecting them to your computer or a hub. The LaCie photon20visionII has an integrated, self-powered
USB hub that allows you to connect up to two other USB devices.
USB Connection
1) Connect one end of a USB
cable to the upstream port of
your display, and the other
end of the USB cable to a
compliant port on your
computer or USB hub.
2) Connect USB compliant
peripheral devices to your
monitor using the monitor’s
downstream ports.
Important Info: 
• To activate the USB hub of your LaCie photon20vision, the display must be connected to a USB compliant
computer or hub with a USB cable. 
• When connecting the USB cable, ensure that the cable end matches the port that you are attaching it to.
• Even if the display is in power save mode, USB compliant devices will still function when they are connected to
the display.

3.6 Installing the LaCie Blue Hood
The LaCie color enhancing hood guarantees the most accurate and consistent  colors on the monitor by reducing the
interference of surrounding light, and by reducing light reflection and shadows.
Installation
Before you install the hood, first decide which position, portrait or landscape, that you are going to use the monitor in. 
Landscape
1) Place the landscape top panel onto the back of the monitor, and
insert the three tabs of the top into the three holes on the back of the
monitor.
2) Slide the side panels, with the soft velvet side of the tabs facing the
monitor, into the grooves on the top panel. 
Important Info:The rotational capabilities offered by Pivot Pro are supported under Windows 98SE, Me, 2000
and XP. At the time of publication (April, 2004), Mac OS X does not support the rotational capabilities offered by
Pivot Pro.
Portrait
Repeat the same installation process for portrait mode as in landscape, except that there are no tabs on the top panel.

3.7 Cleaning Your Monitor
A special coating has been applied to the glass of your monitor to reduce reflection and static electricity on the glass surface.
Due to this delicate coating on the glass surface, use a lint-free, nonabrasive cloth (cotton or equivalent) and a non-alcohol,
neutral, nonabrasive cleaning solution to minimize dust. If the screen requires more than a light cleaning, apply water or a
soft, neutral detergent, diluted with ample water, directly to a soft cloth. Wring out the excess water, then clean the glass
surface.
Caution!Always unplug the monitor before cleaning.
Caution!The following agents will cause damage to the monitor when cleaning the glass surface: Benzene,
thinner, acid/alkaline detergent, alcohol detergent, detergent with abrasive powder, detergent with antistatic
agent and detergent for cleaning.
Caution!Do not spray cleaner directly onto the screen, because it may drip into the monitor and damage the
circuitry.
