Settingupthemonitor

Read all instructions before using the monitor and save them for later use.

Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the product.

To set up the monitor:

■Attach the base

■Connect the video and power cables

To 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.

3Slide the base toward the front of the monitor so all hooks are securely in

place. A retaining latch built into the base clicks into place when the base

is correctly attached.

4Carefully set the monitor upright and place it on a sturdy, level surface.

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.
