Section 1 - General Information
Congratulations on purchasing a MaxTech 17-inch high resolution color monitor.
The monitor uses one of the finest CRTs available in the industry. The 0.28 mm
dot pitch non-glare tube provides a crisp and vivid color display. The monitor
complies with the MPR-II standard to reduce electro-magnetic emissions. Ad-
vanced electronics and digital controls make it the perfect monitor for applications
ranging from home computing to business presentations.
The monitor is compatible with VGA, SVGA, and XGA display adapters. It
operates at resolutions ranging from 640 x 350 to 1280 x 1024 with unlimited
colors. The monitor is PnP (Plug and Play) compliant to simplify setup and
configuration in Windows 95 or other PnP operating systems.
1.1 Precautions When Using the Monitor
When setting up and using your monitor, pay special attention to the following:
• To eliminate eye fatigue, do not use your monitor against a bright background
or where sunlight or other light sources will shine directly on the monitor.
• Your monitor should be placed just below eye level for optimum viewing.
• Allow adequate ventilation around the monitor so that heat from the monitor
can properly dissipate.
• Neither the monitor itself nor any other heavy object should rest on the power
cord. Damage to a power cord can cause fire or electrical shock.
• Keep the monitor away from high capacity transformers, electric motors and
other strong magnetic fields.
• Do not use your monitor in a damp, dusty or dirty area.
• Handle the monitor with care when transporting.
• Unplug the monitor during electrical storms
Section 2 - Installation
• Plug the 15-pin male connector on the video cable into the output connector
on the rear of your computer system. The video output connector on your
computer may be either in a location similar to Figure 2-1 or on an expansion
board. Secure the cable to the computer using the thumbscrews on the 15-
pin connector.
• Attach the power cord to the monitor and plug it into an AC outlet.
• The monitor is now ready for use.

Appendix C - Power Saving Modes (DPMS)
VESA Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS) defines a method for a
computer to signal the monitor to reduce its power consumption when idle. DPMS
features must be supported by both the computer and the monitor. This monitor
supports DPMS “SUSPEND” “STANDBY” and “OFF” modes. Computer support
of DPMS requires the use of a DPMS compliant video card driver.
The monitor enters DPMS STAND-BY or SUSPEND mode when the computer
turns off either the Horizontal or Vertical Synchronization signal. These power-
saving modes reduce the monitor’s power consumption to 20W. When the
synchronization signals are re-enabled the monitor returns to normal operation.
The monitor enters DPMS OFF mode when the computer turns off both the
Horizontal and Vertical Synchronization signals. This mode reduces the monitor’s
power consumption to 1W. When the synchronization signals are re-enabled the
monitor returns to normal operation.

FCC Class B Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy, and if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged
to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which
10
the receiver is connected
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio / TV technician for help
Notice: Shielded cables, if any, must be used in order to comply with the emission
limits. Any change or modification not expressly approved by the Grantee of the
equipment authorization could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Canadian DOC Compliance Statement
This equipment does not exceed Class B limits for radio noise emissions for a
digital apparatus, set out in the Radio Interference Regulations of the Canadian
Department of Communications. Operation in a residential area may cause
unacceptable interference to radio and TV reception requiring the owner or
operator to take whatever steps necessary to correct the interference.
Cet équipement ne dépasse pas les limits de Class B d'émission de bruits
radioélectriques pour les appareils numériques, telles que prescrites par le
Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique établi par le ministère des Commu-
nications du Canada. L'exploitation faite en milieu résidentiel peut entraîner le
propriétaire ou l'opérateur à prendre dispositions nécessaires pour en éliminer
les causes.
