Chapter 1

WARNING

Electrical equipment may be hazardous if misused. Operation of this product, or similar products, must always be supervised by an adult. Do not allow children access to the interior of any electrical product and do not permit them to handle any cables.

What about electromagnetic emissions?

There has been recent public discussion of the possible health effects of prolonged exposure to extremely low frequency (ELF) and very low frequency (VLF) electromagnetic fields. Such fields are associated with electromagnetic sources such as television sets, electrical wiring, and some household appliances—as well as computer displays.

Apple has reviewed scientific reports and sought the counsel of government regulatory agencies and respected health orga nizations. Based on the prevailing evidence and opinions, Apple believes that the electric and magnetic fields produced by computer displays do not pose a health risk.

In response to those customers who wish to reduce their exposure to electromagnetic fields, Apple has lowered the emission levels of our products. We are also actively encouraging further scientific research so we can continue to promote the health and safety of our customers and employees.

Setting Up

Choosing a good location for your display

Here are some key factors to consider when determining where to place your display:

m Be sure that the desk or table can support the display’s weight—

approximately 45.2 pounds (20.5 kg).

m Make sure that the power cord will reach an available AC outlet. m Make sure that the display cable will reach from the back of the display to

your computer. The display cable should be unobstructed when you swivel and tilt the display, so allow at least 6 inches (15 cm) of clearance in the back. If you don’t allow enough clearance, the display connector might be damaged wh en the cable hits an obstruction.

Positioning the display

Once your display is in place, either on top of your computer or next to it on a desk or table, follow these steps:

1 Place the display so that the screen faces you. 2 Adjust the viewing angle of the display by tilting it up or down and turning it left or right

on its stand.

Position the display so that when you use it, no bright light is behind the display or reflected on the screen. Your eyes should be about level with the top edge of the screen and between 18 and 28 i nches (45 to 70 cm) away. Take occasional breaks when using your computer, to focus your eyes on a distant object.

Chapter 2.

Chapter 1

Using the Display Software

This chapter explains how to use the new display software you have installed. Your software includes a new feature called the Control Strip, which you can use to change monitor settings quickly and easily. You can use the Control Strip to change screen resolutions, change the number of colors your monitor displays, and change the volume of your computer’s beep sound. Your monitor also comes with control panels that you can use to save energy a nd fin e-tune your monitor’s use of color.

About the Control Strip

When you start up your Macintosh after installing your new display software, you will notice the Control Strip at the lower-left edge of your screen. The Control Strip is a new way of changing certain settings from your desktop without opening control panels.

Note: Some versions of system software will show different modules in the Control Strip. If your Control Strip doesn’t match what’s shown here, consult the on-screen help that came with your computer or system software upgrade kit.

8 If the image is distorted, try another resolution, or adjust the controls on the monitor as

explained in Chapter 3.

Other things you can do with the Monitors control panel

You can also use the Monitors control panel to

m arrange how multiple monitors work together m choose how many colors or shades of gray each monitor ca n display (you

can also make this change using the Control Strip)

See the instructions that came with your computer for details. (Some models have a different control panel.)

Conserving energy

Use the Energy Saver control panel to tell the monitor whether to conserve energy after a specified period of inactivity.

You can use the control panel if you have an Apple monitor and computer model that comply with the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star program. (Look for the EPA Energy Star logo on the box.)

To use the control panel, follow these steps:

1 Choose Control Panels from the Apple (

2 Double-click the Energy Saver icon to open the Energy Saver control panel.

3 Make the following choices in the control panel:

) menu.

A window opens showing all the control panels.

Double-click the icon. (If you don’t see it, click the scroll bar arrows. If you still can’t find it, you may have forgotten to install the software, as described in Chapter 1.)

If Energy Saver is on, slide this control to determine how long Energy Saver will wait without activity before darkening the screen.

What happens after you turn on the energy saving feature

When Energy Saver is on, the monitor “goes to sleep” after a specified period of inactivity. The monitor screen looks dark and the monitor is using less energy. When the monitor is asleep, your computer is still working. But to prevent accidental changes, you can’t make any changes while the monitor is asleep.

Using the Display Software

To “wake up” the monitor, move the mouse or press any key on the keyboard. Your computer beeps while the monitor is waking up. The process takes about 20 seconds, and you can begin work as soon as the computer stops beeping. (The b eep volume cannot be adjusted; it is not controlled by the computer’s sound software.)

Using ColorSync

IMPORTANT

The En ergy Saver control panel works with Apple monitors (such as this one) that comply with the EPA’s Energy Star program and any other monitor that complies with the Video Electronics Sta ndards Association’s Display Power Management Standard. Your computer model must also be compatible with Energy Star. Other monitors will darken after the specified inactivity period has passed, but they won’t go to sleep or save en ergy.

Using Energy Saver with a screen saver

“Screen saver” programs darken the screen or display a changing image on the monitor if the computer is not used for prolonged periods. Both screen saver programs and the Energy Saver feature prevent images from “burning in” and damaging the screen. Energy Saver also conserves energy.

If you wish, you can use both Energy Saver and a screen saver program. Set the screen saver to come on before Energy Saver, so if you’re away from the computer for a short while, you can return to work immediately, without waiting for the monitor to wake up. If you’re gone for a while longer, however, the monitor won’t use as much energy.

ColorSync is Apple’s unique color-matching software that ensures that Apple color printers print the best possible reproduction of the colors that appear on your monitor screen. ColorSync is also used by Apple color scanners and the QuickTake camera to capture color images and accurately reproduce their colors on the screen. ColorSync maintains consistent colors between color input, your monitor, and color printing devices so that the colors of your original image are accurately reproduced on screen and when printed.

Chapter 2

The ColorSync software works automatically in the background. When you install the monitor software, your computer is automatically set to use ColorSync with your monitor.

If you use more than one color monitor with your Macintosh and wa nt to print a color image from a specific monitor, you can obtain the best color matching by setting ColorSync to use a specific monitor.

To set up ColorSync for a specific monitor:

1 Choose Control Panels from the Apple (

) menu.

A window opens showing all the control panels.

2 Double-click the ColorSync icon to open the ColorSync control panel.

The ColorSync control panel appears.

3 Click Set Profile.

A dialog box appears that enables you to select the name of the monitor you want to use.

Press the Degauss button to degauss the display.

Changes to the magnet i c field around a display can distort the picture on the screen. The magnetic field may change whenever you tilt or swivel the display dramatically, or when you bring a magnetized object close to the display. Your display has a feature that immediately counteracts the effects of sudden changes in the magnetic field. This feature is called automatic degaussing. Most displays degauss only when they first turn on. If you leave your display turned on over long periods (more than 3 days), it’s a good idea to press the Degauss button. This ensures that you are getting the best quality picture possible.

m Make sure the display cable is connected firmly to the correct port on the

back of the computer. If you have a video card installed in your computer, the display cable should

be plugged into the port for the video card. If you do not have a video card installed in your computer, the display cable

should be plugged into the monitor port on the back of your computer.

Tips and Troubleshooting

After many hours of use, the screen image appears dim.

m Increase the brightness of the picture to your preference. See “Adjusting the

Brightness of the Picture” in Chapter 3.

Over time, you experience eyestrain.

m Adjust the screen contrast. In a bright room, contrast is usually best set at

maximum; in a dim room, lower contrast is usually more comfortable. See “Adjusting the Contrast of the Picture” in Chapter 3. Also, be sure to take occasional breaks to focus your eyes on a distant object.

You don’t hear any sound from your computer.

m The computer’s internal speaker is turned off whenever a cable is

connected to the sound output port (marked by -) on the back pa nel of your computer. If the sound output port is in use, you can still hear sound from the monitor’s speakers or from headphones connected to the monitor’s headphone port (marked by f)

Chapter 4

After you change the screen resolution, a window is stuck, halfway off the screen, or missing; or you can’t see the whole screen.

Try one of the following: m If you changed the resolution in the control panel, make sure the control

panel is closed before trying to use another window.

m Quit the program whose window is missing and then open it again. m If the program has a Windows menu, use it to hide the problem window

and then show it again.

m Go back to the resolution you were using, close the window, change the

resolution, and then reopen the window.

m Try another resolution. If you have problems with a particular program, contact the publisher of that

program. Not all programs take advantage of the Multiple Scan Display’s new features.

After you change the number of colors displayed on the screen, the colors don’t look right.

Try one of the following:

m Quit the program you’re running and start it again. m Go back to the number of colors you were using.

After you change the screen resolution, icons move.

Changing the screen resolution affects how information can be displayed on your screen. The display software may automatically reposition icons after you change the screen resolution.

After you attached a new monitor to your computer, the new monitor’s screen is blank or shows “garbage” or “snow.”

The computer may not have recognized the monitor. Try the following: Turn off the computer and disconnect the new monitor. Start the computer with no monitor attached. Wait a minute or so for the computer to finish turning itself on. Turn off the computer again and reattach the new monitor.

Tips and Troubleshooting

The monitor does not go to sleep.

Some monitors, computers, a nd video cards do not support the Energy Saver feature. See the documentation that came with your monitor and video card for more information.

If you have a Power Macintosh 9500, you can get an upgrade to your software that allows your monitor to work with En ergy Saver. Call the Apple Service and Support number found in the service and support information that came with your computer.

When you use both Energy Saver and a screen saver program, the screen freezes.

The screen saver program may be conflicting with Energy Saver. Turn off either the screen saver program or the Energy Saver control panel.

You see two resolution options labeled 640x870 (75 Hz).

If you’re usi ng the Macintosh 24AC video card, you may see two apparently identical resolution selections. The first option sets your monitor to display millions of colors, and the second option sets your monitor to display 256 colors.

When you change resolutions, the monitor goes blank.

If your monitor is connected to the Macintosh 24AC video card, the monitor may go blank for 15 seconds when you select a resolution that does not work with your monitor. Try selecting another resolution.

Appendix B

User’s guide Power cord

Note: Your power cord may appear different from the one pictured here. In addition, the software that shipped with your display is useful only for Macintosh computers.

IMPORTANT

For Display Data Channel (DDC) video support you need to use a DDC cable instead of the PC adapter and display cable that came with your display. DDC video is a new communications standard used by some PC manufacturers to identify the display capabilities to the host computer system. If your IBM PC-compatible computer has this capability, you can use a DDC cable. You can acquire a DDC cable from an Apple-authorized dealer or service provider.

Choosing a good location for your display

Here are some key factors to consider when determining where to place your display:

m Be sure that the desk or table can support the display’s weight—

approximately 45.2 pounds (20.5 kilograms).

m Make sure that the power cord and display cable will reach from the back

of the display to your computer.

m The display cable should be unobstructed when you swivel and tilt the

display, so allow at least 7 inches (17.5 cm) of clearance in the back. If you don’t allow enough clearance, the display connector might be damaged when the cable hits an obstruction.

Positioning the display

IMPORTANT

When you unpack or move the display, don’t set the display down

at an angle; you might damage the display stand. Once your display is in place on a desk or table, follow these steps:
