To set up the monitor:

■Attach the base

1Carefully set the monitor on its side.

2Hold the base with the tab facing the back of the monitor and align the hooks on

the base with the corresponding slots on the bottom of the monitor.

To connect the video and power cables:

1Position the monitor and your computer so you can easily get at the back panel of

each. Make sure that all power cables can reach a correctly grounded electrical outlet.

2Connect the video cable to the matching (blue) video port on the back of your

computer.

3Tighten the screws on the video cable connector to keep it from coming loose.

Tightening the screws also prevents radio and TV interference.

4Connect the power cable that came with the monitor to the AC power connector on

the back of the monitor. Only use the power cable that came with the monitor.

5Plug the other end of the power cable into a correctly grounded electrical outlet.

Caution The openings in the monitor cabinet are for ventilation. Do not block

or cover these openings. Do not insert anything into these openings.

If you put the monitor in a bookcase or some other enclosed space,

make sure to leave at least 6 inches (15 cm) around it for ventilation.
