Adjustment Procedure Cont.  
The Geometry Menu  
OSD Agent  
Description  
Adjusts Picture Size and Position Controls. The four “Edge”  
controls shift each edge within available limits. Note that the  
maximum available shift depends on the incoming video standard  
and the display panel type, and may be restricted vertically. This  
provides very flexible and easy to use image size an position  
control.  
Edge Adjustment  
Corrects Moire. Choose from one of four correction tables.  
Moire  
Clock  
Sets the total number of input pixels per line to correspond with the  
input source, and will normally require adjustment for unusual  
signals.  
Adjusts the internal clock to sample each pixel as near as possible  
to the centre. Phase will normally require adjustment for unusual  
types of signal.  
Phase  
Selects the displayed aspect ratio where the signal input is at  
variance with the display panel’s natural aspect ratio. The format  
may be adjusted to either “Letter Box” or “Overscan”. “Letter Box”  
effectively adjusts the height of the displayed image and “Overscan”  
effectively adjusted the width to achieve the desired 4:3 aspect  
ratio.

Description  
Returns to the last saved setup. It is useful if an adjustment has  
been made in error.  
Saves all the user adjustments for the displayed signal type. The  
new adjustments are stored in non-volatile memory and so are still  
valid from a power down—power up cycle.

2) Press the  
buttons simultaneously to restore to

the user can adjust its position with these functions.  
OSD X and OSD Y  
Yes/No. If an input signal changes, it is first measured and  
compared with stored selections. If its parameters are already  
stored, they are installed. If they are stored, the “Auto Centering”  
selection is checked and if set to “No” the best fit is displayed. The  
user can then center the picture using OSD auto setup. If Auto  
Centering is set to “Yes”, centering is performed automatically,  
which may take more than 15 seconds. This could cause a prob-  
lem if using Windows, wherein a resolution change is displayed  
only for 15 seconds and reverts to its previous selection if no  
acknowledgement is entered. For this reason, the default state is  
“No”. NOTE this control only configures Analog Graphics inputs.

CLEANING AND MAINTANENCE

Cleaning  
Occasionally clean the display panel and cabinet with a soft cloth dampened (not soaked) with a  
mild (non-abrasive) glass cleaner. Keep turning a fresh side of the cloth toward the screen surface to  
avoid scratching it with accumulated grit.  
Note:  
The solvent should be applied only to the cloth, and not directly on the monitor screen.  
Do not use paper products as they may scratch the surface. To minimize the risk of abrasion, allow  
the screen to stand dry.  
Special care should be taken when cleaning a touch screen or polycarbonate shield that is installed  
over the screen. Abrasive and certain chemical cleaners can easily damage the surface.  
Never use alcoholic or ammoniac cleaners to clean the polycarbonate shield or a touch screen.  
Note:  
For best results cleaning a monitor with the optional antireflective tempered glass display shield, a  
solution of denatured alcohol is recommended to thoroughly clean the display.  
Other Maintenance  
Qualified service personnel should perform all maintenance, except for the power cord replacement  
described above.
