Getting Help

If your monitor does not display an image, check your cable connections and refer to
"Troubleshooting" on page 30. If you experience difficulties with the quality of the displayed
image, push Auto Button (see page 9) and refer to "Adjusting Your LCD Monitor" on page 9 or
"Troubleshooting" on page 30.

Warm-up Time

All LCD monitors need time to become thermally stable whenever you turn on the monitor
after letting the monitor be turned off for a couple of hours. Therefore, to achieve more
accurate adjustments for parameters, allow the LCD monitor to warm (be on) for at least 20
minutes before making any screen adjustments.
