2. CABLE CONNECTION
2-1. Before Connecting
Before connecting your monitor to the PC, change the display screen settings (Resolution and frequency) in accordance with the charts below.
-
The lower display modes like 640x 480, automatically enlarge to the maximum display mode (1280 x 1024), and some lines of the characters may become fuzzy. In this case, use < Smoothing > function to make the lines clear.

The equipment must be connected to a grounded main outlet.
Not doing so may result in fire or electric shock.
3. Turn on the monitor's main power and then switch on the PC's power.
The monitor's power indicator will light up (blue). If an image does not appear, refer to the "6. TROUBLESHOOTING" for advice. Whenever finished, turn off the PC and the monitor.
4. When using the software in the EIZO LCD Utility Disk: Connect the upstream port of the monitor to the downstream port of the USB compliant PC or another hub with the USB cable.
After connecting the USB cable, the USB function can be set up automatically. For further details about the software, refer to the readme.txt in the CD-ROM.
-
Adjust brightness of the screen depending on the brightness of your environment. Too dark or too bright of a screen can cause eyestrain.
-
Be sure to take adequate rests. A 10-minute rest period each hour is suggested.
2-3. Connecting Two PCs to the Monitor
Two PCs can be connected to the monitor through the DVI and the D-Sub mini 15 pin connector on the back of the monitor.
Selecting the Active Input
The Input signal selection button on the control panel can be used to select either DVI or D-Sub as the active input at any time. Every time the button is pressed, the input changes. When switching the signal, the kind of the input signal (Analog or Digital) is displayed for a few seconds on the right top corner of the screen.
