8 PARAGON II USER MANUAL
A video-gain adjustment is available to focus the video image, which can be especially useful if you are
using an LCD flat-panel monitor. To make this adjustment, activate the OSUI (if you have not done so
already) by rapidly pressing the keyboard’s [Scroll Lock] key twice. Use the [+] and [-] (plus- and minus-
sign) keys on the keyboard’s numeric keypad
to adjust the video image until it appears to be in focus.
