• placing your display in such a way that the side faces the window or any light source
• minimizing room light by using drapes, shades or blinds
• using a task light
• changing the display’s viewing angle
• using a glare-reduction lter
• using a display visor, such as a piece of cardboard extended from the display’s top
front edge
• Avoid adjusting your display to an awkward viewing angle.
• Avoid looking at bright light sources, such as open windows, for extended periods of time.

Connecting the AC Power cord
• Check rst to make sure that the power cord you use is the correct type required for
your area.
• The monitor has a universal power supply that allows operation in either 100/120 V AC
or 220/240 V AC voltage area. No user-adjustment is required.
• Plug one end of the AC power cord to the Adapter, and plug the other end into an AC outlet.
• For units using 120 V AC:
Use a UL-listed cord set, type SVT wire and plug rated 10 A/125 V.
• For units using 220/240 V AC:
Use a cord set consisting of H05VV-F cord and plug rated 10 A/250 V. The cord set
should have the appropriate safety approvals for the country in which the equipment will
be installed.
Power saving
The monitor will be driven into “Power Saving” mode by the control signal from the display

Power Saving Mode Amber
The power saving states will be kept until a control signal has been detected or the
keyboard or mouse is activated. The recovery time from Active OFF state back to ON state
is around 3 seconds.

Display Data Channel (DDC)
To make installation easier, so long as your system supports the DDC protocol, the monitor
is able to plug-and-play. The DDC is a communication protocol through which the monitor
automatically informs the host system about its capabilities; for example, supported
resolutions and corresponding timing. The monitor supports the DDC2B standard.
