If your PC system is not compatible with DDC2AB
and DDC2B+
This monitor uses the No. 9 pin in the video signal connector for
DDC2AB and DDC2B+ compatibility.
Some PC systems which are not compatible with either DDC2AB or
DDC2B+ may not accept the No. 9 pin. If you are not sure whether
your PC system accepts the No. 9 pin or not, use the HD15 (Female)
- HD15 (Male without the No. 9 pin) adapter (not supplied). Make
sure the male side (without the No. 9 pin) is connected to the
computer.
