STARTING THE FIRST TIME
In a multiple screen configuration, most video cards will boot one screen first, thus allowing you to
configure your system as you see fit. Once the appropriate drivers have been loaded, the system
will re-boot and bring up both screens. You may then proceed to arrange your desktop, configure
any particular environment characteristics you wish, and start up your applications.
MAINTENANCE
Liquid Crystal Displays are highly sophisticated pieces of equipment. Avoid touching the screen
surface with any sort of hard object, as this may result in scratches, which will reduce the
effectiveness of the display and are not covered by your warranty.
Always handle your monitor with care when moving. If you move the screens around on a frequent
basis, it is also good idea to periodically check to ensure that all fittings and screws are tight.
PRECAUTIONS
B Avoid touching or applying pressure to the screen with your fingers as damage to the liquid crystal
layer may occur. Wipe marks from the screen with absorbent cotton or a soft cloth. Do not use
chemical cleaners.
The monitor contains high voltage parts.
You may suffer serious injury if you touch these parts.
Avoid exposing the monitor to direct sunlight or another heat source. The monitor s hould be
facing away from direct sunlight to reduce glare.
Do not place anything on the monitor that blocks the flow of air through the vent which may prevent
adequate dissipation of heat.
Ensure the area around the monitor is clean and free of moisture.
Do not place heavy objects on the monitor, video cable or power cord.
If smoke, abnormal noise, or strange odor is present, immediately switch the monitor off and call
your dealer. It is dangerous to continue using the monitor.

IMPORTANT:
Handle the monitors with care so that pressure is not placed on the front surface of the LCD panel
as this may result in permanent damage to the panel. Don't rest any objects on top of the screens.
Unpack the structure carefully.
If base needs to be assembled refer to Support Structure assembly procedure on how to assemble
base using wing nut and washers provided.
If a base tray is available use this to prevent the unit from tipping during installation. Place the
structure and base tray on a level surface.
Caution: secure base when installing LCD screens. To prevent the unit from tipping assemble
screens from center out. If base tray is available simply slide from assembly.
Once you've located the structure at a desired location then simply slide the LCD monitors onto
patented 'quick release' system. Ensure that the LCD panel locks in place.
After confirming that all the LCD panels are secured, feel free to adjust the panels to the desired
position. Hold the LCD screen without applying pressure on the LCD surface, and adjust. Proceed
