Auto Setup for DOS If the monitor is in power saving mode, it may automatically turn off while you are waiting for it to warm up. If this happens, switch off the monitor and switch it on again after a few seconds. To set up the monitor automatically in DOS, do the following: 1. Turn on the monitor first; then turn on the computer. If the message Attention No Signal is displayed, or if nothing is displayed, check: • That the video interface cable is connected properly. • The correct video adapter card is installed. If you are using PC-DOS/V, change to U.S. mode by typing • The correct supported display mode is selected for your computer. 'CHEV US' and pressing ENTER at the command prompt. 2. Wait approximately 15 minutes, until the monitor warms up. The size and diversity of the dot pattern varies with the screen resolution. 3. Insert the User's Guide and Installation Files CD into the computer CDROM drive. 4. Display the command prompt screen of the DOS full-screen display. 5. Type d:\ (change the drive letter to match your CD-ROM drive if it is not drive D). 6. Type TESTPATD and press ENTER. 7. Select from the screen the number for the color or text mode you want to set up. 8. Select from the screen the number for the video mode you want to set up. You can repeat this process for as many of the color and video modes as you need. 9. When the dot pattern appears, press the AUTO button at the bottom of the monitor. This activates the AUTO SETUP procedure, which will optimize the display settings with the provided dot-patterns. The screen will momentarily turn black while auto adjustment proceeds. 10. When finished, the Auto Adjustment menu disappears and the screen returns to a normal display. 11. Press the ESCAPE key to exit the test pattern program. 12. Type Exit at the command prompt to return to Windows. If you use other operating systems, perform the appropriate Auto Setup for those systems using instructions given in "Auto Setup for Windows 2003, Windows Me or Windows XP,Windows Vista on page 14". 13
