Getting to Know Your Cisco LCD Professional Series Display

The arrangement and availability of particular features on the front and back panels differs slightly among different LCD display models in the Professional Series. For example, the 52" model has a brightness sensor on its front panel that the 40" model does not have. Also, the 52" model has BNC/Component interfaces on its back panel that the 40" model does not have.

Figure 2-3 A Typical Kensington Lock

See the manual provided with your Kensington lock to understand its proper use. The location of the Kensington slot might differ on various Cisco LCD Professional Series display model types.

Procedure


Step 1 Insert the locking device into the Kensington slot on the display [B].

Step 2 Turn it in the locking direction [A].

Step 3 Connect the Kensington lock cable.

Step 4 Fix the Kensington lock to a desk or a heavy stationary object.

2 To learn how to use this feature, see Locking Front Panel Controls and the Remote Control. To learn how to change the PIN, see Editing the 4-digit PIN from the Safety Lock PIN Menu, page 4-14.

3 Cisco LCD Professional Series displays are preset with four picture modes: Dynamic, Standard, Movie, and Custom.


Locking Front Panel Controls and the Remote Control

You can protect your LCD display from unauthorized use by locking the controls on its front panel and locking the buttons on your remote control. While they locked, all of these features are unavailable, except buttons that you use on the remote control to enter a secret PIN and thereby regain access.

Procedure


Step 1 To lock these features, press Lock on your remote control.

Step 2 To unlock these features, press Lock again and then press numeric buttons on the remote control to enter the 4-digit PIN.

Our factory default values are well known for the PIN, which is not secret until after you change it from the factory default. The default is 0000 for 40" LCD displays and 1234 for 52" LCD displays.

Installing VESA Brackets

VESA brackets are optional, installed at your discretion, and Cisco is not responsible for any product damage or any injury arising from VESA bracket installations. When you use VESA brackets with Cisco LCD Professional Series displays, be sure to comply with international VESA standards.

We recommend that you schedule an installation by licensed contractors who can visit your site and install the bracket.

To understand safe handling practices for your Cisco LCD Professional Series display, see the "Important Safety and Compliance Information" chapter in this guide.

In the LCD Professional Series, VESA mounting interface dimensions are:

600mm x 400mm for a 40" LCD display.

800mm x 400mm for a 52" LCD display.

Figure 2-9 40" VESA Bracket Dimensions

Figure 2-10 52" VESA Bracket Dimensions


Note For securing the bracket on a wall, use only machine screws of 6 mm diameter and 8 to 12 mm length.
