Connecting Universal Serial Bus
(USB) compliant peripherals
Your monitor has one upstream and four downstream USB
connectors. They provide a fast and easy way to connect USB
compliant peripheral devices (such as keyboards, mice, printers
and scanners) to your computer using a standardized USB cable.
To use your monitor as a hub for your peripheral devices, connect
the USBs as illustrated below.

the rectangular downstream USB connectors.
Notes
• Not all computers and /or operating systems support USB
configurations. Check your computer's instruction manual to see if you
can connect USB devices.
• In most cases, USB driver software needs to be installed on the host
computer. Refer to the peripheral device's instruction manual for
further details.
• The monitor functions as a USB hub as long as the monitor is either
"on" or in power saving mode.
• If you connect a keyboard or mouse to the USB connectors and then
boot your computer for the first time, the peripheral devices may not
function. First connect the keyboard and mouse directly to the
computer and set up the USB compliant devices. Then connect them to
this monitor.
• Do not lean on the monitor when plugging in the USB cables. The
monitor may suddenly shift and cause injury.

1440*) are displayed at their actual resolution and do not fill the screen
to the edges.
• The screen may go blank for a few seconds when the ASC button is
pressed. This is not a malfunction.
