text inside as shown in the following illustration:

Turn off your monitor and reconnect the video cable; then turn on both your computer
and the monitor.
If your monitor screen remains blank after using the previous procedure, check your video
controller and computer system; your monitor is functioning properly.

Getting Help

If your monitor does not display an image, check your cable connections and refer to
"Troubleshooting" on page 20. If you experience difficulties with the quality of the displayed
image, run Auto Adjustment (see page 11) and refer to "Adjusting Your FPD" on page 10 or
"Troubleshooting" on page 20.

Warm-up Time

All FPD monitors need time to become thermally stable the first time you turn them on each
day. Therefore, to achieve more accurate adjustments for parameters, allow the FPD monitor
to warm (be on) for at least 20 minutes before making any screen adjustments.
