Multiple Scan 1705 Display: Use Included Cable (12/95)

I am replacing an existing monitor with the Apple Multiple Scan 1705 Display. I left the cable from my previous monitor connected to my Macintosh computer, and used the included adapter to connect the other end of the existing cable to the Multiple Scan 1705 Display. When I power on the computer and display, the power light on the display remains amber, and I do not get any video. What is happening?
The Multiple Scan 1705 Display uses a different connector than previous monitors. You must use the cable that shipped with the Multiple Scan 1705 Display. The adapter that shipped with the display is required for only for PC-compatible computers. The adapter should not be used with any Macintosh cable.

Connecting to a Macintosh Computer
==================================

To connect the Multiple Scan 1705 Display to the built-in video on a Macintosh computer, connect one end of the included video cable into your Macintosh and the other end into the monitor. Do NOT use the PC adapter.

Connecting to a PC-Compatible Computer
======================================

To connect the Multiple Scan 1705 Display to a PC-compatible computer, connect one end of the included video cable into the display. Next, connect the PC adapter to you computer's video card. Then connect the other end of the included cable into the PC adapter.
