This document describes the Acer LCD Monitor, a display device designed for general computing use, offering various features for setup, operation, and maintenance.

Function Description

The Acer LCD Monitor serves as a visual output device for computers. It connects to a computer's graphics card to display images, text, and video. The monitor is designed to be user-friendly, with straightforward setup and intuitive controls for adjusting display settings. It supports both VGA and DVI-D input signals, making it compatible with a wide range of computer systems. An optional audio input allows the monitor to play sound if connected to the computer's audio output. The monitor is equipped with an on/off power button that indicates its status (blue for power on, amber for standby/power saving mode). It also features an "Empowering Key" for quick access to scenario modes and as an exit key within the On-Screen Display (OSD) menu.

Usage Features

The monitor's usage is centered around its physical connections and on-screen display (OSD) controls.

Physical Setup:

  1. Assembly: The monitor base is attached to the monitor by aligning a release button on the monitor with a slot on the base until a clicking sound confirms a secure connection.
  2. Power Connection: The monitor's power cable is inserted into the power port at the back of the monitor and then plugged into a nearby electrical outlet.
  3. Signal Connection:
    • VGA: The VGA signal cable connects the monitor's VGA input socket to the computer's VGA output socket. Thumbscrews on the connector are tightened to secure the connection.
    • DVI-D (Optional): For models with dual-input capability, a DVI cable connects the monitor's DVI-D input socket to the computer's DVI-D output socket. Thumbscrews are also used here.
  4. Audio Connection (Optional): An audio cable can connect the monitor's AUDIO IN socket to the computer's line-out port, enabling the monitor to output sound.

On-Screen Display (OSD) Controls:

The monitor features several buttons for controlling its settings:

  • Menu Button: Pressing this button displays the OSD menu. Pressing it again enters a selection within the OSD.
  • Minus (-) / Plus (+) Buttons:
    • When the OSD is active, these buttons toggle between OSD options.
    • When the OSD is inactive, these buttons adjust the volume (if audio is connected).
  • Auto Button:
    • When the OSD is active, pressing "Auto" exits the OSD.
    • When the OSD is inactive, pressing "Auto" automatically optimizes the display position, focus, and clock settings for the display. This feature is particularly useful for quickly correcting image issues.
  • Empowering Key (e):
    • When the OSD menu is active, this button functions as an exit key, allowing the user to leave the OSD menu.
    • When the OSD menu is inactive, pressing this button selects scenario mode, which likely offers predefined display settings for different viewing conditions (e.g., text, movie, game).

Safety and Operational Conditions:

  • The monitor is designed for operation within a temperature range of -20° to 60° C (-4° to 140° F). Storing the monitor outside this range may cause permanent damage.
  • It complies with FCC rules for Class B digital devices, meaning it is designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
  • It also complies with CE declaration of conformity, adhering to EMC, Low Voltage, and RoHS directives.
  • Shielded cables are required for all connections to other computing devices to maintain compliance with EMC regulations.
  • Only peripherals certified to comply with Class B limits should be attached to prevent interference.

Maintenance Features

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of the Acer LCD Monitor.

Cleaning the Screen:

  1. Turn off the LCD monitor and unplug the power cord.
  2. Spray a non-solvent cleaning solution onto a rag.
  3. Gently clean the screen with the dampened rag. Avoid spraying cleaning solution directly onto the screen.

General Care and Handling:

  • Environmental Protection: Do not place the monitor near a window where it could be exposed to rain, moisture, or direct sunlight, as these can severely damage it.
  • Physical Protection: Do not apply excessive pressure to the LCD screen, as this can cause permanent damage to the display.
  • Servicing: Do not attempt to remove the cover or service the unit yourself. Any servicing should be performed by an authorized technician.
  • Immediate Action for Damage: If any of the following occur, immediately unplug the monitor and contact an authorized technician:
    • The monitor-to-PC signal cable is frayed or damaged.
    • Liquid spills onto the LCD monitor.
    • The monitor is exposed to rain.
    • The LCD monitor or its case is damaged.

Disposal Information:

  • Lamp Disposal: The lamps inside this product contain mercury and must be recycled or disposed of according to local, state, or federal laws. Information on lamp-specific disposal can be found through the Electronic Industries Alliance (www.eiae.org) and www.lamprecycle.org.
  • Waste Equipment Disposal (European Union): The monitor should not be disposed of with general household waste. Instead, it must be handed over to a designated collection point for the recycling of waste electrical and electronic equipment. This practice helps conserve natural resources and ensures environmentally sound recycling. Users should contact their local city office, household waste disposal service, or the shop where the product was purchased for information on recycling points.
