Using USB Connectors
The base of the monitor has five Universal Serial Bus (USB) connectors. Four of these connectors, 1, 3, 4, and 5, are for connecting USB compatible Plug and Play devices such as a keyboard, mouse, or video camera. USB connector 2is used to connect the USB signal cable to the computer. The USB signal cable is included with the monitor.
Using BNC Connectors
A signal cable with BNC connectors may be used in place of the 15-pin signal cable. To connect two computers to the monitor, a BNC connector may be used together with the 15-pin signal cable. If you have separately purchased a signal cable with BNC connectors, use the following instructions to connect the signal cable to the monitor.
✎ Fault Management and Asset Control are not supported by the monitor when BNC connectors are used.
1. Connect the five BNC connectors to the monitor. Push in and twist the connectors clockwise until they are locked into place. The color of the wires may vary, so refer to the manufacturer's instructions included with the BNC connectors. Usually, the connectors are color coded from left to right in the following order:
1 Red (R) for the red video connector
2 Green (G) for the green video connector
3 Blue (B) for the blue video connector
4 White for horizontal sync (H)
5 Black for vertical sync (V)
CAUTION: When using a signal cable with BNC connectors, make sure the BNC/D-Sub control on the monitor’s on-screen display is set to the correct setting.
- Connect the other end of the signal cable to the 15-pin graphics connector on the back of your computer.
- Connect the power cord as previously illustrated.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to your equipment, do not disable the power cord grounding feature. This equipment is designed to be connected to a grounded (earthed) power outlet that is easily accessible to the operator. The grounding plug is an important safety feature. CAUTION: Be sure that the power outlet you plug your power cord into is easily accessible and located as close to the monitor as possible. When you need to disconnect power to the equipment, be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet.

User Modes
The video controller signal may occasionally call for a mode that is not preset if:
- You are not using a Compaq standard graphics adapter.
- You are not using a preset mode.
If this occurs, you may need to readjust the parameters of the monitor screen by using the on-screen display. User changes can be made to any or all of these modes and saved in memory. The monitor automatically stores the new setting, then automatically recognizes the new mode just as it does a preset mode. In addition to the 21 preset modes that can be changed and stored, there are 15 user modes that can be entered and stored.
To revert back to the factory default settings, select Reset from the Factory Reset menu in the on-screen display, and the factory default resolutions will replace the user changes made for the operating original display mode.
