Plug the power cord into a correctly grounded power outlet. We recommend using a surge

protector to protect your monitor from voltage spikes.

To make sure that the monitor’s power is correctly connected, check the power button on

the front button panel. The power icon on the power button should be glowing purple. If

the power icon is not visible, power is not connected.
