If thin lines appear on the screen
(damper wires)
These lines do not indicate a malfunction; they are a normal
effect of the Trinitron picture tube with this monitor. These are
shadows from the damper wires used to stabilize the aperture grille.
The aperture grille is the essential element that makes a Trinitron
picture tube unique by allowing more light to reach the screen,
resulting in a brighter, more detailed picture.
Self-diagnosis function
This monitor is equipped with a self-diagnosis function. If there is
a problem with your monitor or computer, the screen will go blank

Preset and user modes
When the monitor receives an input signal, it automatically matches the
signal to one of the factory preset modes stored in the monitors memory to
provide a high quality picture
(see Preset mode timing table on page i).
For input signals that do not match one of the factory preset modes, the
digital Multiscan technology of this monitor ensures that a clear picture
appears on the screen for any timing in the monitors frequency range
(horizontal: 30 80 kHz, vertical: 48 170 Hz). If the picture is adjusted,
the adjustment data is stored as a user mode and automatically recalled
whenever the same input signal is received.
Power saving function
This monitor meets the power-saving guidelines set by VESA, ENERGY
STAR, and NUTEK. If no signal is received by the monitor from your
computer, the monitor will automatically reduce power consumption as
shown below.
* When your computer is in active off mode, MONITOR IS IN POWER
SAVE MODE appears on the screen if you press any button on the
monitor. After a few seconds, the monitor enters the power saving
mode again.
Design and specifications are subject to change without notice.
