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.

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.

6. CLEANING
Periodic cleaning is recommended to keep the monitor looking new and to prolong its
operational lifetime. Clean the cabinet and CRT areas as follows:
WARNING
• Keep liquids away from the monitor.
Spillage into the cabinet may result in fire, electric shock, or
equipment damage. If an object or liquid falls/spills into the
cabinet, unplug the monitor immediately. Have the unit checked
by a qualified service engineer before using it again. Using the
monitor in this condition could cause serious injury or equipment
damage.
CAUTION
• To ensure safety, always unplug the monitor before cleaning
it. Failure to do so may result in electric shock.
• Periodically clean the area around the plug.
Buildup of dust, water, or oil on the plug may result in fire.
• Never use thinner, benzene, alcohol (ethanol, methanol, or
isopropyl alcohol), abrasive cleaners, or other strong
solvents, as these may cause damage to the cabinet or CRT.
Cabinet
To remove stains, wipe the cabinet with a soft, lightly moistened cloth using a mild
detergent. Do not spray wax or cleaner directly onto the cabinet.
CRT Surface
The CRT surface can be cleaned with a soft cloth, such as cotton or lens paper. If
necessary, stubborn stains can be removed by moistening part of a cloth with water to
enhance its cleaning power.

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 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.
