VGA connection On/Off switch audio connection power supply (Ill. : Rearside connectors) · Ensure that the TFT monitor is not yet connected to the line power (power cord not yet plugged in) and neither the TFT monitor nor the computer is switched on. · Prepare your computer for the TFT monitor if necessary with the correct settings for your TFT. Connecting Signal Cable · Plug the data cable into the matching VGA connections on the computer and the monitor. Connecting Audio Cable (optional) · Plug the audio cable into the matching sockets on the computer. Connecting the Power Supply · Plug the power supply cable into the power supply socket of the TFT screen and plug the electric plug into a socket close to the TFT screen (same circuit). · Your TFT monitor has an ON/OFF switch, by means of which you can switch the monitor on or off, on the back.

Set the switch to I and next switch your monitor on using the on/off switch. · Then switch on your computer. 8 ENGLISH Positioning of the Monitor Please ensure that the monitor is set up in such a way that that reflections, glare and light-dark contrast are avoided (as this will make the screen less attractive to look at). (Ill. : Monitor positioning) Your posture Sitting in one position for long periods can be uncomfortable. To minimize the potential for physical discomfort or injury, it's important that you maintain proper posture. [. . . ] Because of this very high number of transistors and their extremely complex production process occasionally defective or incorrectly addressed pixels or sub-pixels may occur. There have been several attempts in the past to define the acceptable number of defective pixels. But this can be difficult and varies widely between different manufacturers. MEDION, therefore, adheres to the clear and strict requirements of ISO 13406-2, class II, for the warranty handling of all TFT display products. [. . . ]
