Before installing Before beginning to install the ET 350 monitor, consider the following
recommendations:
Get the latest video driver for your host computer’s video adapter
card. To find out if your driver is the most current one, check the web
site of the video adapter’s manufacturer.
Check the host computer’s monitor settings to make sure that the
resolution is not greater than 1024 x 768.
Step 1: Connect
video (VGA) signal

The video (VGA) signal cable carries a video signal from the computer’s
video adapter to the monitor. The ET 350 monitor comes with a standard
15-pin VGA cable that plugs into the monitor’s female connector. The
standard cable length is 6 feet. There are 25-foot and 50-foot cable options
available.

You may choose to use a standard signal cable or make a cable using the
“Video signal cable connector” pin-out in Appendix C. When making a
cable, 3M Touch Systems recommends you use a high-quality shielded
cable such as Belden cables 1417B, 1418B, 1522A, or 1826A.
