This manual shows you have to connect the monitor and use it in various
operating modes. It also explains the picture controls and gives instruc­
tions for the installations, use and service of the 1802.
The Commodore 1802 is a full-color monitor with monochrome function
monitor meaning it can display computer output in 40-column screen width.
Some computers, like the Commodore 64, display screen output in a
40-column format. You can select the operating mode you want with the
flick of a switch. The switch setting depends on the computer you have
hooked up to the 1802 monitor.

screen. The following chart shows recommended operating modes by com­
