5. Operating the Monitor

5.1 Power On/Off

Press the power button, usually located on the bottom right side of the monitor bezel, to turn the monitor on or off. The power indicator light will illuminate when the monitor is on.

5.2 On-Screen Display (OSD) Menu

The OSD menu allows you to adjust various display settings. The control buttons are discreetly located underneath the screen bezel. While the button labels may be subtle, navigation is intuitive.

• Press the Menu button to open the OSD.
• Use the navigation buttons (usually arrows or dedicated up/down/left/right buttons) to move through menu options.
• Press the Enter or OK button to select an option or confirm a setting.
• Press the Exit or Back button to return to the previous menu or exit the OSD.

Alternatively, the monitor may include software that allows you to control OSD settings directly from your computer. Refer to the included software documentation for installation and usage instructions.

5.3 Key Features

• Dynamic Contrast Ratio (DCR): This feature automatically adjusts the screen's contrast to provide clearer visibility and more vibrant images, especially in scenes with varying brightness levels.
• Off-Timer: You can set a timer for the monitor to automatically turn off after a specified period of inactivity, contributing to power saving.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning the Screen

To clean the screen, gently wipe it with a soft, lint-free cloth. If necessary, use a screen cleaner specifically designed for monitors, applied to the cloth, not directly to the screen.

6.2 Cleaning the Casing

Wipe the monitor casing with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your monitor, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No Power: Ensure the power cord is securely connected to both the monitor and the electrical outlet. Check if the outlet is functioning.
• No Image: Verify that the video cable (VGA or HDMI) is correctly connected to both the monitor and the computer. Ensure the computer is powered on and not in sleep mode. Select the correct input source via the OSD menu.
• Image is blurry or distorted: Adjust the resolution settings on your computer to match the monitor's native resolution (1920 x 1080). For VGA connections, use the OSD's auto-adjust function.
• No Sound (from monitor speakers): Ensure the audio cable is connected (if applicable) and that the volume is not muted or set too low in both the monitor's OSD and your computer's sound settings.
