Section 1 – General Information

Congratulations on purchasing a MaxTech 14-inch 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 MRP-I standard to reduce electro-magnetic emissions. Advanced 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.

1.2 Power Saving Modes
The MaxTech monitor supports VESA Display Power Management Signaling (DPMS) SUSPEND and OFF modes. 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 for them to be available. Computer support of DPMS requires the use of a DPMS compliant video card.

The monitor enters DPMS SUSPEND mode when the computer turns off the Vertical Synchronization signal. This power-saving mode reduces the monitor’s power consumption to 25W. When the synchronization signal is 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 5W. When the synchronization signals are re-enabled the monitor returns to normal operation.
