Using the monitor in this way blocks the ventilation slots

and prevents proper airflow, leading to fire or other damage.

Others

• The screen may have some defective pixels. These pixels
may appear as slightly light or dark areas on the screen.
This is due to the characteristics of the panel itself, and not
the LCD product.

• The backlight of the LCD monitor has a fixed life span.

When the screen becomes dark or begins to flicker, please contact
your dealer.

• Take care when handling the LCD panel.

* Do not press on the panel or edge of the frame strongly

as this will result in damage to the screen. There will be prints
left on the screen if the pressed image is dark or black. Decrease
of the prints on the screen requires to keep white desktop pattern’s
on for L661, and black desktop pattern’s on for L680.

2-4 Power-save Setup

PowerManager

Set-up Procedure

“VESA DPMS” system works with the VESA DPMS signal.
“EIZO MPMS” system works with a screen saver software and

EnergySaver for Macintosh which blanks the screen (totally black screen).

1) Set the monitor to match the PC’s power saving software, as follows.

Function

Power saving adjustment

The EIZO PowerManager functions comply with
the VESA DPMS standard and adopt a power
saving method, EIZO MPMS.

As an Energy Star® Partner, Eizo Nanao
Corporation has determined that this
product meets the Energy Star
guidelines for energy efficiency.

· Do your part to conserve energy, turn off the
monitor when you are finished using it. Discon­necting the monitor from the power supply is
recommended to save energy completely.

· When the monitor is in a power saving mode, the
optional EIZO i·Sound speaker unit will turn off.

· Even if the monitor is in a power saving mode,
USB compliant devices function when they are
connected to the monitor’s USB (both the
upstream and the downstream ports). Therefore,
power consumption of the monitor will change
according to the connected devices even if the
monitor is in a power saving mode.

• For the PC setup, please refer to the user’s manuals of the PC and
the graphics board.

2) Select “VESA DPMS” or “EIZO MPMS”.

• When “VESA DPMS” is selected, the monitor shifts into the power
saving mode in 5 seconds after recognizing either STAND-BY,
SUSPEND, OR OFF signal. When “EIZO MPMS” is selected, the
monitor shifts into the power saving mode in 5 seconds after PC's
ScreenSaver blanks the screen.

VESA DPMS Power Saving Method

VESA DPMS utilizes four signals: ON, STANDBY, SUSPEND, and OFF.
The monitor detects these signals from the graphics board and executes
power saving accordingly, as illustrated below.

What is VESA DPMS?

The acronym VESA stands for “Video Electronics Standards
Association,” and DPMS stands for “Display Power Management
Signaling.” DPMS is a communication standard that PCs and
graphics boards use to implement power savings at the monitor side.

What is EIZO MPMS?

EIZO MPMS, "EIZO Monitor PowerManager Signaling", also enables
to execute power saving at the monitor side. EIZO MPMS recognizes
the video signals from the PC when the PC is in a power saving mode,
and reduces energy consumption of the monitor.

What is Energy Star?

“Energy Star” is a set of power-saving guidelines issued by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The guidelines apply to PC
systems and peripherals.

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.

Why do we have environmentally labelled computers?

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.

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:

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.
