Do not disable the power cord grounding plug. The grounding
plug is an important safety feature.
Plug the power cord into a grounded (earthed) electrical outlet
that is easily accessible at all times.
Disconnect power from the monitor by unplugging the power
cord from the electrical outlet.
Do not place anything on power cords or cables. Arrange them
so that one may not accidentally step on or trip over them. Do
not pull on a cord or cable. When unplugging from the electrical
outlet, grasp the cord by the plug.
Note: For security purposes, this monitor has been fitted with a
slot (item (1) in the illustration on the next page) for use with a
security cable lock that can be purchased separately at most
computer stores.
Note: After you turn on the monitor, install the Compaq LCD
Display Assistant utility included on the CD-ROM. Use the
on-screen instructions to adjust the picture quality of your
monitor.
Important: Always activate a screen saver program, the
programmable sleep timer, the Compaq Display LiteSaver utility,
or turn off the monitor when it is not in use for a prolonged period
of time. All LCD monitors that display the same static image on
the screen for a prolonged period of time may exhibit screen
image retention. Please note that image retention is not a
permanent condition and will fade over a period of time.

Removing the Monitor Base
Before you can mount the monitor on a swing arm or other
mounting fixture, you must remove the monitor from the base.
CAUTION: Before beginning to disassemble the monitor, be
sure the monitor is turned off and the power and signal cables
are both disconnected.
To remove the monitor from the base, complete the following
steps:
1. Disconnect and remove the signal and power cables from the
back of the monitor.
2. Remove the cover (1) from the base mounting bracket by
pulling it upward (2).
3. Lay the front bezel down on a soft area to prevent it from
getting scratched, defaced, or broken.
4. Remove the four screws (3) as shown in the illustration.
8
Compaq TFT5015 User’s Guide
CAUTION: Ensure that the bottom of the monitor base is
positioned over a table or desktop before removing the base
from the monitor.
5. Remove the monitor base from the monitor.
When the base is removed, four threaded mounting holes are
exposed on the monitor panel to be used for mounting purposes.
These mounting holes are spaced 100 mm apart and are
compliant with the Video Electronics Standards Association
(VESA) standard for mounting flat panels. Mounting requires 4
each, M4 x .7 x 10 to 12 mm long screws. The 10 to 12 mm
length assumes a 2.6 mm thick mounting plate is used. If a
different mounting plate thickness is used, the screw length
should be adjusted accordingly.

You are not using a Compaq standard graphics adapter.
Your are not using a preset mode.
If this occurs, you may need to readjust the parameters of the
monitor screen by using the on-screen display. User changes can
be made to any or all of these modes and saved in memory. the
monitor automatically stores the new setting, then recognizes the
new mode just as it does a preset mode. In addition to the 13
factory preset modes, there are four user modes that can be
entered and stored.
Energy Saver Feature
When the monitor is in its normal operating mode, the monitor
utilizes less than 30 watts (40 watts with speakers) of power and
the Power LED is green.
The monitor also supports a reduced power state. The reduce
power state will be entered into if the monitor detects the absence
of either the horizontal sync signal and/or the vertical sync signal.
Upon detecting the absence of these signals, the monitor screen is
blanked, the backlight is turned off, and the Power LED is turned
amber. When the monitor is in the reduced power state, the
monitor will utilize less than 3 watts of power. There is a brief
warm up period before the monitor will return to its normal
operating mode.
Refer to your computer manual for instructions on setting energy
saver features (sometimes called power management features).
By selecting settings in the monitor’s Energy Saver utility, you
can also program the monitor to enter the reduced power state at a
predetermined time. When the monitor’s Energy Saver utility
causes the monitor to enter the reduced power state, the Power
LED blinks amber.
