22 5. TROUBLESHOOTING
Use the graphics board’s utility software to change the frequency setting. (Refer to the manual of the graphics board.)
Problems Points to check with possible solutions
3. The image vibrates on the screen.
4. The image is flickering.
Check that the signal cable is properly connected to the PC or graphics board. The monitor may be located close to a device that is generating a magnetic field. Such devices include speakers (other than the EIZO optional i·Sound speaker), electric motors, high-voltage cables, and other monitors. It may be solved by turning off or moving the interfering device, or by relocating the monitor. Use of the Moiré” adjustment may cause a slight vibration. To eliminate the vibration, set the adjustment level to lower percentage or 0%. (p.15) If the volume level of the EIZO optional i·Sound speaker is too high, it may, in some cases, cause a slight vibration. To eliminate, turn down the volume of the speaker.
Flicker will occur with interlaced scanning, or non­interlaced scanning with a low refresh rate. All EIZO monitors are capable of reproducing high refresh rates for non-interlaced scanning. If a problem occurs when using a non-interlaced signal, try adjusting the graphics board to increase the refresh rate (if possible). Refer to the graphics board manual for information.
ENGLISH
5. Moiré patterns appear.
6. The characters and images have a slight shadow on their right side.
Reduce the moiré using the Moiré” function in the ScreenManager Screen menu. (p.15) Change the horizontal and vertical size of the display area. Change the selected desktop or wallpaper pattern to any solid color pattern. For detailed information on how to change these patterns, refer to the PC and operating system manual.
Change the mode of Signal Filter function in the ScreenManager Screen menu. (p.16) Change the refresh rate. Refer to the PC and graphics board manual for information.
5. TROUBLESHOOTING 23
Problems Points to check with possible solutions
7. The entire screen appears too dark or bright.
8. Color is abnormal
The entire screen appears bluish or reddish.
Color purity is not uniform.
Misconvergence of colors(red, green, blue).
Adjust the Contrast and Brightness function in the ScreenManager Main menu. (p.15) Some signal timing can be the cause of this problem. To correct this, turn off the monitor, then hold down the down arrow key while turning on the monitor again. This will change the signal timing and brighten the screen. If the above operation is repeated, the screen becomes dark again. Video signal level from the PC may not match the monitor. Set the video signal level using the ScreenManager. (p.16)
When the monitor is not fully warmed up, the screen may look slightly colored, e.g. bluish or reddish. This phenomenon is due to the unstableness of the electron gun during its warm-up period. Wait for about 30 minutes until the monitor stabilizes in order to gain its proper color. Adjust the Degauss function in the ScreenManager Others menu. (p.19) Return the factory default setting by using Reset function in the ScreenManager Others menu. Note that all the ScreenManager parameters will be returned to the factory default setting. (p.19) Try adjusting the “Convergence” in the ScreenManager Screen menu. (p.15) The convergence function adjusts the entire screen. It is not possible to limit adjustment to specific screen areas.
9. AUTO-SIZING button does not work properly.
24 5. TROUBLESHOOTING
The Auto sizing function is intended for use on the Macintosh and on IBM compatibles running Windows. It may not work properly if either of the following cases.
You are running an AT-compatible PC on MS-DOS (Not windows).
The background color for the wall paper ordesktoppattern is set to black.
Some signals from graphics board may not function properly.
Problems Points to check with possible solutions
10. ScreenManager/AUTO­SIZING button does not operate.
11. Two horizontal hairlines are visible on the screen.
12. Faint black vertical lines are visible on the screen.
The Adjustment Lock is probably on. To unlock: Turn off the monitor power, then hold down the AUTO-SIZING button once again and turn the power back on. (p.20)
These are damper wires.
[ About Damper wires]
Damper wires are used to support the CRT’s aperture grille, and are visible as thin dark lines across the screen. All EIZO aperture grille type CRTs include two such horizontal wires. The aperture grille itself is a grid of taut metal filaments that spans the entire screen from top to bottom.
The aperture grille may be misaligned. Shock or vibration during transport may, in some cases, cause the aperture grille to fall out of alignment. The problem will appear as one or more faint black lines across the screen.
If this problem occurs, it may be solved by:
1. Degaussing the screen.
2. Lightly tapping (do not hit) the side of the monitor.
If neither of these methods works, try executing the following procedure.
1. Display a bright white field over the area where the black line(s) appear, with a black field over the unaffected areas. (Do this by opening a bright-white window on top of a black desktop or wallpaper background. Position the window so that it just covers the area of misalignment.)
2. Set brightness and contrast to maximum values, and keep the display ON until the problem is corrected. Try tapping the side of the display lightly to help expedite realignment. The white field will heat up the misaligned area of the grille, returning it to proper alignment.

8. GLOSSARY

Color Temperature
Color temperature is a method to measure the white color tone, generally indicated in degrees Kelvin. At high temperatures the white tone appears somewhat blue, while at lower temperatures it appears somewhat red. Computer monitors generally give best performance at high temperature settings. 5,000K: Often used in printing industry. 6,500K: Good for video-image display. 9,300K: Default setting for your EIZO monitor.
Convergence
Convergence is the monitor’s ability to precisely illuminate specific phosphors and line them up properly in order to produce pure color.
Cutoff and Gain
Monitors use red, green and blue (R, G, and B) to convey color information. They use an additive method to combine different amounts of the primary colors to produce a desired color. In other words, monitors start with no light (black) and add percentages of red, green and blue to make colors. White is usually produced by adding the same amount of all three colors, where black is usually produced by adding no color. However, colors are not only determined by the balance but also the intensities of R, G, and B (how bright they are) which we call Gain, and the saturation of R, G and B (how vivid or dull they are) which we call Cutoff.
ENGLISH
Degaussing
Degaussing refers to the process of removing magnetic-field effects from the monitor. Operation of the monitor within a magnetic field may adversely effect color purity. Degaussing can be used to correct the problem.
Moiré
Moiré refers to an interference pattern of dark wavy lines on the screen. It is not a defect, but rather an interference phenomenon caused by the relationship between the phosphor layout and the imaging signal. Moiré is often an indication of a good focus level. Moiré is particularly noticeable when using a light-gray or every-other­dot pattern background. Although moiré can not be eliminated, it can be reduced with the moiré reduction feature.
8. GLOSSARY 29
Resolution
Resolution is expressed as the number of dots (pixels) displayed on the screen. A larger number of dots produces a more sharply defined (a higher-resolution) image. Notes that for a given screen size the dot size decreases as the number of dots increases: a 640 x 480 (dot x line) resolution uses larger pixels than a 1024 X 768 resolution. The display size of a given font therefore varies according to the resolution. Higher resolutions allow you to display more information on the screen.
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 on the monitor side.

MEMO

Congratulations!
You have just purchased a TCO99 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 TCO99 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 TCO99 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 TCO99 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 TCO99 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 TCO99 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.
