Selecting the INPUT signal mode
This monitor has two modes of input signal selection,
"AUTO" and "MANUAL."
When "AUTO" is selected
If no signal is input from the selected connector, the monitor
automatically selects the other connector's signal. When you
restart the computer you want to view, or that computer is
in power saving mode, the monitor may automatically
select the other connector's signal. This is because the
monitor switches from the interrupted signal to the constant
signal. If this happens, manually select the desired signal
using the INPUT button.
When "MANUAL" is selected
Even if no signal is input from the selected connector, the
monitor does not select the other connector's signal.
