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. 7
