To turn on and set up the display for the first time

Important 

  • Install the OPS appliance before you turn on the display. If you can’t reach the power switch, use the front control panel’s power button to put the display in Standby mode, and then unplug the display’s power cable from the power outlet.

  • Make sure the OPS appliance is secured to the display with screws through the two anchor points. Inadequately secured appliances can damage the display. (An OPS appliance's anchoring screws are typically captive, although some simply include separate anchoring screws. Third-party OPS appliances are not supported, and their use can lead to poor performance or damage to the display.
