N O T I C E
|
|
|
|
When the 310A monitor is connected to the IBM-PC (or compatible)
|
|
and the character display is generated, a sympton can occur in
|
|
which the character display cannot be seen on the monitor. This
|
|
symptom can also occur when switching modes as with a Hercules
|
|
Graphics Card. Should this problem occur with your monitor we
|
|
recommend one of the following solutions:
|
|
|
|
SHORT TERM SOLUTION: Be sure to always turn on the computer
|
|
first, then the monitor.
|
|
|
|
LONG TERM SOLUTION: Locate resistor R-203 on the
|
|
motherboard inside the monitor. Disconnect or cut one leg
|
|
of the resistor from the motherboard. (When viewed from the
|
|
rear R-203 is at the top right hand corner of the
|
|
motherboard.)
|
|
|
|
This modification of the 310A will not void the two year
|
|
warranty. If you have questions or need additional assistance in
|
|
making this modification please call our technical support
|

department at (312) 595-6890.
