2. Plug the power cord into the power connector on the rear of the monitor.

3. Lead the power cord and signal cable into the cable holder at rear of the monitor.

 

 

4. Plug the other end of the power cord into a power outlet.

 

Use the enclosed power cord and connect to the standard power outlet of your country.

Be sure to remain within the rated voltage of the power cord.Not doing so may result in fire or electric shock.

 

The equipment must be connected to a grounded main outlet.

Not doing so may result in fire or electric shock.

 

5. Turn on the monitor's Power button and then turn on the PC's power.

The monitor's power indicator will light up (blue).
If an image does not appear, refer to the "6. TROUBLESHOOTING" for advice.
Whenever finished, turn off the PC and the monitor.

 

6. When using the software, ScreenManager Pro for LCD (for Windows), connect the upstream port of the monitor to the downstream port of the USB compliant PC or another hub with the USB cable.

After connecting the USB cable, the USB function can be set up automatically. For further details about the "ScreenManager Pro for LCD", refer to the readme.txt in the CD-ROM.

 

2-3. Connecting Two PCs to the Monitor

Two PCs can be connected to the monitor through the DVI-I and the D-Sub mini 15 pin connector on the back of the monitor.

Selecting the Active Input

The Input Signal Selection Button on the control panel can be used to select either SIGNAL 1 or SIGNAL 2 as the active input at any time. Every time the button is pressed, the input changes. When switching the signal, the kind of the input signal (Signal1 or 2/Analog or Digital) is displayed for a few seconds on the right top corner of the screen.

 

The Priority Input Signal

This function is used to select which PC will have priority to control the monitor when utilizing two PCs. The monitor constantly checks the input signals and switches automatically in accordance with the "Input Priority" setting (see table below). Once a priority is set, whenever a change of signal is detected at the selected input, the monitor will switch the input to that signal.

In the case of only one signal being present at either input, the monitor automatically detects and displays that signal.

 

Priority setting

Performance

1
(SIGNAL 1 - DVI-I Input Connector)

If signals from both inputs are present, the monitor gives preference to Signal 1 in the following cases.

  • When the power of the monitor is turned ON.
  • When the signal input to Signal 1 is changed even if active input was Signal 2.

2
(SIGNAL 2 - D-Sub mini 15 pin Input Connector)

If signals from both inputs are present, the monitor gives preference to Signal 2 in the following cases.

  • When the power of the monitor is turned ON.
  • When the signal input to Signal 2 is changed even if active input was Signal 1.

Manual

The monitor will not detect signals automatically in this mode. Select the active input by pressing the Input Signal Selection Button on the monitor's control panel.
