Connecting Universal Serial Bus
(USB) compliant peripherals
Your monitor has one upstream and four downstream USB
connectors. They provide a fast and easy way to connect USB
compliant peripheral devices (such as keyboards, mice, printers
and scanners) to your computer using a standardized USB cable.
To use your monitor as a hub for your peripheral devices, connect
the USBs as illustrated below.
1
Turn on the monitor and computer.
2
Connect your computer to the square upstream
connector using the supplied USB cable.
For customers using Windows
If a message appears on your screen, follow the on-screen instructions
and select Generic USB Hub as the default setting.
3
Connect your USB compliant peripheral devices to
the rectangular downstream USB connectors.
Notes
Not all computers and /or operating systems support USB
configurations. Check your computer’s instruction manual to see if you
can connect USB devices.
In most cases, USB driver software needs to be installed on the host
computer. Refer to the peripheral device’s instruction manual for
further details.
The monitor functions as a USB hub as long as the monitor is either
“on” or in power saving mode.
If you connect a keyboard or mouse to the USB connectors and then
boot your computer for the first time, the peripheral devices may not
function. First connect the keyboard and mouse directly to the
computer and set up the USB compliant devices. Then connect them to
this monitor.
Do not lean on the monitor when plugging in the USB cables. The
monitor may suddenly shift and cause injury.

You can connect two computers to this monitor using the HD15
and BNC connectors. To switch between the two computers, use
the INPUT button.
Press the INPUT button.
The input signal and corresponding input indicator change each
time you press this button.
Notes
If no signal is input to the selected connector, the monitor automatically
switches to the other connector.
If you restart the computer you want to view, or that computer is in
power saving mode, the monitor may automatically switch to the other
connector’s signal. If this happens, manually select the desired signal
using the INPUT button.

similar graphic user interface software that provides a full-screen
picture. It may not work properly if the background color is dark or if
the input picture does not fill the screen to the edges (such as an MS-
DOS prompt).
