may cause electric shock.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
ENGLISH
2 FOR YOUR SAFETY
CAUTION
INSTALLATION LOCATION
Do not install the monitor where sudden temperature changes may occur, or in humid, dusty or
smoky areas as it may cause fi re, electric shock or damage. You should also avoid areas where the
sun shines directly on the monitor.
DO NOT PLACE THE MONITOR IN A HAZARDOUS POSITION
The monitor may topple and cause injury if not suitably located. Please also ensure that you do not
place any heavy objects on the monitor, and that all cables are routed such that children may not
pull the cables and possibly cause injury.
MAINTAIN GOOD VENTILATION
Ventilation slots are provided to keep the monitor from overheating. Covering the slots may cause
fi re. To allow adequate air circulation, place the monitor at least 10 cm (or 4 inches) from any walls.
Do not remove the tilt stand when operating the monitor. Ventilation slots on the back of the
cabinet will be blocked and the monitor may overheat if the stand is removed. This may cause fi re
or damage. Operating the monitor on its back, side, upside down or on a carpet or any other soft
material may also cause damage.
DISCONNECT THE CABLES WHEN YOU MOVE THE MONITOR
When you move the monitor, turn off the power switch, unplug the monitor and be sure the signal
cable is disconnected. If you do not disconnect them, it may cause fi re or electric shock.
UNPLUG THE MONITOR

SCREEN ADJUSTMENTS
The screen adjustments described in this manual are designed to set image position and minimize
fl icker or blur for the particular computer in use.
Displayed text or lines will be blurred or irregular in thickness when the picture is stretched due to
the screen enlargement process.
It is preferable to adjust the image position and frequency with the monitor controls, rather than
the computer software or utilities.
Perform adjustments after a warm-up period of at least thirty minutes.
Additional adjustments may be required after the Auto Image Adjust depending on the resolution
or signal timing.
The Auto Image Adjust may not work correctly when displaying the picture other than the screen
adjustment pattern. In this case, manual adjustments are required.
There are two ways to adjust the screen. One way is automatic adjustment for Position, Clock and
Phase. The other way is performing each adjustment manually.

is changed. If the screen has a fl icker or blur, or the picture does not fi t in the display area after
performing the Auto Image Adjust, manual adjustments are required. Both adjustments should be
made by using the screen adjustment pattern (Test.bmp) obtained via the IIYAMA web site (http://
www.iiyama.com).

22 OPERATING THE MONITOR
Even when using the power management mode, the monitor consumes electricity. Turn
off the Power Switch whenever the monitor is not in use, during the night and weekends,
to avoid unnecessary power consumption.
It is possible that the video signal from the computer may be on while the H or V sync
signal is missing. In this instance, the POWER MANAGEMENT feature may not work
properly.
POWER MANAGEMENT FEATURE
Power Management Mode
When the H-sync signal / V-sync signal / H and V sync signals from the computer are off, the
monitor enters into Power Management Mode which reduces the power consumption to less
than 0.5W. The screen becomes dark, and the power indicator turns to orange. From Power
Management Mode, the image reappears in several seconds when either the keyboard or the
mouse are touched again.
The power management feature of this product complies with power saving requirement of ENERGY
STAR® and VESA DPMS. When activated, it automatically reduces unnecessary power consumption
of the monitor when your computer is not in use.
To use the feature, the monitor needs to be connected to a VESA DPMS compliant computer.
There is a power management step the monitor takes as described below. The power management
function, including any timer settings is confi gured by the operating system. Check your operating
