This document is the "Installing and Using the VR319 Monochrome Monitor" manual, published by Digital Equipment Corporation in January 1990.

The VR319 is described as a monochrome monitor with a direct-view antiglare screen, an auto-ranging power supply, and a built-in tilt-swivel stand, designed to display information sent from a host system.

The manual provides comprehensive instructions across several key areas:

• Unpacking: Details how to identify and unpack the monitor, noting its approximate weight of 22 kg (48 lbs) and requiring two people for safe handling.
• Installation: Guides users through connecting the video cable (shipped with the host system) and the power cord, highlighting the monitor's auto-selecting power supply and preset refresh rates (66 Hz or 72 Hz).
• Operation: Explains how to turn the monitor on, identify and adjust various controls (power switch/indicator, contrast, brightness, rotation, horizontal/vertical centering), and use the built-in tilt-swivel stand.
• Maintenance: Covers cleaning the screen and provides a detailed troubleshooting guide for common problems, their possible causes, and suggested solutions.
• Service: Outlines various maintenance programs offered by Digital (e.g., On-Site Repair, Off-Site Service like Carry-In Servicenters and DECmailer) and provides contact information for obtaining service.
• Specifications: Lists technical details including physical dimensions, weight, tilt/swivel range, display characteristics (19-inch diagonal CRT with 1280x1024 resolution), electrical requirements (88-264 Vac auto-ranging), environmental conditions, and detailed video timing information.
