Introduction

Your new LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) monitor 38B2-M offers numerous features and functions, for
example:

• TFT display (Thin Film Transistor; active matrix)

• minimal space requirements thanks to slim casing

• optimum ergonomic characteristics (totally distortion-free, excellent picture definition and colour

purity right into the corners)

• high degree of brightness and good contrast

• high resolution (1024x768) for displaying the information content of a conventional 17-inch

screen with CRT (Cathode Ray Tube)

• presentation of up to 16.7 million colours (in conjunction with an appropriate graphics card)

• automatic scanning of all horizontal frequencies from 30 to 60 kHz and all refresh rates (vertical

frequencies) from 55 to 75 Hz (all absolutely flicker-free)

• digital screen controller with microprocessor for storing 18 different display modes

• freely adjustable colour alignment for matching the screen colours to the colours of various

input and output devices

This operating manual contains important information you require to start up and run your LCD
monitor.

A screen controller with VGA interface is required to control the 38B2-M LCD monitor. The monitor
processes the data supplied to it by the screen controller. The screen controller/the associated
driver software is responsible for setting the modes (resolution and refresh rate).

When putting the monitor into operation for the first time, the screen display should be optimally
adapted to the screen controller used and adjusted in accordance with your needs (see the
"Changing the monitor settings" section in the "Operation of the monitor" chapter).

Target group

You don't need to be an "expert" to perform the operations described here. Do, however, read the
"Important notes" chapter in the operating manual of the computer and in this operating manual.

In the event of any problems occurring, please contact your sales outlet or our help desk.

Further information

Details of how you set the resolution and refresh rate are provided in the documentation on your
screen controller/the associated driver software.

Energy Star Guidelines

The Fujitsu Siemens LCD colour monitor 38B2-M is designed to conserve
electricity by dropping to less than 5 W when it goes into standby,
suspend and OFF mode. With this new power management the 38B2-M
qualifies for the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) Energy
Star Computers award.

The EPA estimates that computer equipment uses 5% percent of all business electricity and that
this is growing rapidly. If all desktop computers and peripherals enter a low-power mode when not in
use, the overall savings in electricity could amount to $ 2 thousand million annually. These savings
could also prevent the emission of 20 million tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere - the
equivalent of 5 million automobiles.
As an Energy Star Partner, Fujitsu Siemens Computers GmbH has determined that this product
meets the Energy Star guidelines for energy efficiency.

Notes on ergonomic colour adjustment

If you select colours for the display in your application programmes, take note of the information
below.

The primary colours blue and red on a dark background do not produce the minimum required
contrast of 3:1 and are therefore not suitable for continuous text and data entry.

When using several colours for characters and background and giving the primary colours full
modulation, you can obtain very suitable colour combinations (see the following table):

Background Characters

black white purple blue cyan green yellow red

black + + - + + + -

white + + + - - - +

purple + + - - - - -

blue - + - + - + -

cyan+--+ ---

green + - - + - - -

yellow + - + + - - +

red-+----+

+ Colour combination very suitable

- Colour combination not suitable because colour locations are too close together, thin
characters are not identifiable or rigorous focusing is demanded of the human eye.

Trouble shooting

Should an error occur, first check the following points. If the distortion is still not eliminated, the
monitor should, if possible, be checked on another computer.

If you are unable to solve the problem, please inform our help desk.

The display is too small or not centred

The monitor recognises an undefined mode (see "Technical data").

Ê Adjust the position and the size of the display and save your settings (see "Operation of the

monitor").

No display (power indicator does not light)

Ê Check whether the monitor is switched on.
Ê Check whether the power cable is connected correctly on the monitor and on the computer.
Ê Check whether the mains socket is live.

Colour monitor 38B2-M

No display (power indicator lights)

Ê Check whether the computer is switched on.
Ê Check whether the data cable for the monitor is correctly attached to the monitor port on the

computer.

Ê Press any key on the computer keyboard - the computer may be in energy saving mode.

If one of the operating systems Windows for Workgroups, Windows 95/98, Windows NT,
Windows Me, Windows 2000 or OS/2 (with Windows emulation installed) is used, the
basic monitor settings can be set with the floppy disk supplied.

Detailed information is contained in the section "Basic monitor settings with the floppy
disk supplied".

Permanently unlit or lit pixels

The standard of production techniques today cannot guarantee an absolutely fault-free monitor. A
few isolated constant lit or unlit pixels may be present. The maximum permitted number of pixels
faults is stipulated in the stringent international standard ISO 13406-2 (Class II).

Example: a 15" flat-screen monitor with a resolution of 1024 x 768 has 1024 x 768 = 786432 pixels.
Each pixel consists of three subpixels (red, green and blue), so there are about 2.4 million dots in
total.

According to ISO 13406-2 (Class II), a maximum of 4 pixels and 5 subpixels may be defective, i. e.
a total of 17 faulted dots. This corresponds to approx. 0,002% of the entire screen surface!

The flat screen monitors from Fujitsu Siemens Computers are typically considerably better than
requirements defined in this standard.

The screen becomes darker

The background lighting has a limited lifetime. If your monitor display should become too dark, the
background lighting will have to be exchanged. Please contact our help desk.

Image of last screen display still visible

If you switch from a high-contrast display (for example black lines/characters on a white
background) to a picture of medium brightness, you may be able to see a faint image of the previous
display for a time. This phenomenon is not due to a monitor defect but to the technology used.

No sound output

In order for the multimedia functions to be operable, a sound card (audio controller) must be
installed in your computer and properly configured.

Ê Check whether the audio cable is correctly connected.
Ê Increase the volume.
