Precautions

Warning on power connections

• Use the supplied power cord. If you use a different power cord,

be sure that it is compatible with your local power supply.

For the customers in the U.S.A.

If you do not use the appropriate cord, this display will not

conform to mandatory FCC standards.

For the customers in the UK

If you use the display in the UK, be sure to use the appropriate

UK power cord.

Installation

Do not install or leave the display:

• In places subject to extreme temperatures, for example near a

radiator, heating vent, or in direct sunlight. Subjecting the

display to extreme temperatures, such as in an automobile

parked in direct sunlight or near a heating vent, could cause

deformations of the casing or malfunctions.

• In places subject to mechanical vibration or shock.

• Near any equipment that generates a strong magnetic field,

such as a TV or various other household appliances.

• In places subject to inordinate amounts of dust, dirt, or sand, for

example near an open window or an outdoor exit. If setting up

temporarily in an outdoor environment, be sure to take

adequate precautions against airborne dust and dirt. Otherwise

irreparable malfunctions could occur.

Handling the LCD screen

• Do not leave the LCD screen facing the sun as it can damage

the LCD screen. Take care when you place the display by a

window.

• Do not push on or scratch the LCD screen. Do not place a heavy

object on the LCD screen. This may cause the screen to lose

uniformity or cause LCD panel malfunctions.

• If the display is used in a cold place, a residual image may

appear on the screen. This is not a malfunction. The screen

returns to normal as the temperature rises to a normal operating

level.

• If a still picture is displayed for a long time, a residual image

may appear for a while. The residual image will eventually

disappear.

• The LCD panel becomes warm during operation. This is not a

malfunction.

Note on the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)

Please note that the LCD screen is made with high-

precision technology. However, black points or bright

points of light (red, blue, or green) may appear

constantly on the LCD screen, and irregular colored

stripes or brightness may appear on the LCD screen.

This is not malfunction.

(Effective dots: more than 99.99%)

Maintenance

• Be sure to unplug the power cord from the power outlet before

cleaning your display.

abrasive items such as a ballpoint pen or screwdriver. This type

of contact may result in a scratched picture tube.

• Note that material deterioration or LCD screen coating

degradation may occur if the display is exposed to volatile

solvents such as insecticide, or if prolonged contact is

maintained with rubber or vinyl materials.

Transportation

Technical Features

Power saving function

This display meets the power-saving guidelines set by VESA,

ENERGY STAR, and NUTEK. If the display is connected to a

computer or video graphics board that is DPMS (Display Power

Management Standard) for Analog input / DMPM (DVI Digital

Monitor Power Management) for Digital input compliant, the

display will automatically reduce power consumption as shown

below.

When your computer enters the “active off” mode, the input signal is

cut and NO INPUT SIGNAL appears on the screen. After 5 seconds,

the display enters the power saving mode.

“deep sleep” is the power saving mode defined by the Environmental

Protection Agency.

Reducing the power consumption

(ECO mode)

If you press the ECO button on the front of the display repeatedly,

you can select the screen brightness.

Each mode appears on the screen and the screen brightness is

reduced according to the mode. The menu automatically

disappears after about 5 seconds.

Screen brightness and power consumption are reduced as the

mode changes from HIGH to MIDDLE to LOW.

The default setting of the screen brightness is set to HIGH.

If you select USER, you can adjust the backlight level by pressing

the m/M buttons, the same as when you select BACKLIGHT

using the menu.

Note

For those displays with analog inputs, only while the ECO mode is set to

USER, are the BACKLIGHT, CONTRAST, and BRIGHTNESS items of

the menu available (page 14).

Automatic picture quality

adjustment function (analog RGB

signal only)

When the display receives an input signal, it

automatically adjusts the picture’s position and

sharpness (phase/pitch), and ensures that a clear

picture appears on the screen.

The factory preset mode

When the display receives an input signal, it automatically

matches the signal to one of the factory preset modes stored in the

display’s memory to provide a high quality picture at the center of

the screen. If the input signal matches the factory preset mode, the

picture appears on the screen automatically with the appropriate

default adjustments.

If input signals do not match one of the factory

preset modes

When the display receives an input signal that does not match one

of the factory preset modes, the automatic picture quality

adjustment function of this display is activated to ensure that a

clear picture always appears on the screen (within the following

display frequency ranges):

Horizontal frequency: 28–80 kHz

Vertical frequency: 48–75 Hz

Consequently, the first time the display receives input signals that

do not match one of the factory preset modes, the display may

take a longer time than normal to display the picture on the screen.

This adjustment data is automatically stored in memory so that

next time, the display will function in the same way as when the

display receives the signals that match one of the factory preset

modes.

If you adjust the phase, pitch, and picture position

manually

For some input signals, the automatic picture quality adjustment

function of this display may not completely adjust the picture

position, phase, and pitch. In this case, you can set these

adjustments manually (page 14). If you set these adjustments

manually, they are stored in memory as user modes and

automatically recalled whenever the display receives the same

input signals.

Note

While the automatic picture quality adjustment function is activated, only

the 1 (power) switch will operate.

The picture may flicker during this time, but this is not a malfunction.

Simply wait a few moments until the adjustment completes.

TCO’99 Eco-document (for the black

model)

x Congratulations!

You have just purchased a TCO’99 approved and labelled product! Your

choice has provided you with a product developed for professional use.

Your purchase has also contributed to reducing the burden on the

environment and also to the further development of environmentally

adapted electronics products.

x Why do we have environmentally labelled com-

puters?

In many countries, environmental labelling has become an established

method for encouraging the adaptation of goods and services to the

environment. The main problem, as far as computers and other electronics

equipment are concerned, is that environmentally harmful substances are

used both in the products and during their manufacture. Since it is not so

far possible to satisfactorily recycle the majority of electronics equipment,

most of these potentially damaging substances sooner or later enter nature.

There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy

consumption levels, that are important from the viewpoints of both the

work (internal) and natural (external) environments. Since all methods of

electricity generation have a negative effect on the environment (e.g.

acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste), it is vital to

save energy. Electronics equipment in offices is often left running

continuously and thereby consumes a lot of energy.

x What does labelling involve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO’99 scheme which

provides for international and environmental labelling of personal

computers. The labelling scheme was developed as a joint effort by the

TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Svenska

Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation)

and Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy

Administration).

Approval requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment,

ergonomics, usability, emission of electric and magnetic fields, energy

consumption and electrical and fire safety.

The environmental demands impose restrictions on the presence and use

of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs

(freons) and chlorinated solvents, among other things. The product must

be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer is obliged to have an

environmental policy which must be adhered to in each country where the

company implements its operational policy.

The energy requirements include a demand that the computer and/or

display, after a certain period of inactivity, shall reduce its power

consumption to a lower level in one or more stages. The length of time to

reactivate the computer shall be reasonable for the user.

Labelled products must meet strict environmental demands, for example,

in respect of the reduction of electric and magnetic fields, physical and

visual ergonomics and good usability.

Below you will find a brief summary of the environmental requirements

met by this product. The complete environmental criteria document may

be ordered from:

TCO Development

products may also be obtained via the Internet, using the address:

x Environmental requirements

Flame retardants

Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires,

casings and housings. Their purpose is to prevent, or at least to delay the

spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in a computer casing can consist

of flame retardant substances. Most flame retardants contain bromine or

chloride, and those flame retardants are chemically related to another

group of environmental toxins, PCBs. Both the flame retardants

containing bromine or chloride and the PCBs are suspected of giving rise

to severe health effects, including reproductive damage in fish-eating

birds and mammals, due to the bio-accumulative

* processes. Flame

retardants have been found in human blood and researchers fear that

disturbances in foetus development may occur.

The relevant TCO’99 demand requires that plastic components weighing

more than 25 grams must not contain flame retardants with organically

bound bromine or chlorine. Flame retardants are allowed in the printed

circuit boards since no substitutes are available.

Cadmium**

Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour-generating

layers of certain computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous

system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO’99 requirement states

that batteries, the colour-generating layers of display screens and the

electrical or electronics components must not contain any cadmium.

Mercury**

Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. It damages

the nervous system and is toxic in high doses. The relevant TCO’99

requirement states that batteries may not contain any mercury. It also

demands that mercury is not present in any of the electrical or electronics

components associated with the labelled unit.

CFCs (freons)

The relevant TCO’99 requirement states that neither CFCs nor HCFCs

may be used during the manufacture and assembly of the product. CFCs

(freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards. CFCs

break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere,

causing increased reception on earth of ultraviolet light with e.g. increased

risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma) as a consequence.

Lead**

Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and

capacitors. Lead damages the nervous system and in higher doses, causes

lead poisoning. The relevant TCO’99 requirement permits the inclusion of

lead since no replacement has yet been developed.

* Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within

living organisms.

** Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are Bio-

accumulative.
