DDC (Display Data Channel)

DDC is a communication channel over which the monitor automatically
informs the host system about its capabilities. DDC uses a formerly
unconnected signal pin in the 15-pin VGA connector. The system will perform
the “Plug ‘n Play” feature if both the monitor and the host implement DDC
protocol.

Power Management System

The monitor has three power-saving states indicated by the LED on the front
panel. A personal computer can control these states to reduce the monitor’s
output power levels while not in use, thus saving energy.

For proper operation of this Power Management System, make sure that the
monitor signal cable is connected to the host system and that the host is On.

Asbestos

This monitor does not use asbestos in any form.

Flame Retardants

The enclosures do not contain polybrominated diphenylether (PBDE) as a
flame retardant additive; therefore, they do not emit toxic dibenzofuran and
dibenzodioxin gases.

Ozone Depleting Substances (ODS)

These monitors are in full compliance with the labeling requirements in the
U.S. Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. It does not contain, nor is it
manufactured with, a Class 1 ODS, as defined in Title VI section 611 of this
act.

PVC

The plastic enclosures are not made of rigid PVC. The material has a non­halogenated, flame-retardant system and is cadmium free.

Recyclable Material

The packaging material can be recycled, or you can save it to return the
monitor to a service center for repair or disposal.

Monitor Disposal

____________________ WARNING__________________________

If you need to dispose of a monitor, ask a qualified service
representative for the proper procedure. Improper disposal
could result in personal injury from implosion.
