Attention

LCD considerations

• Do not exert strong pressure to the surface of the monitor screen.

You may break the LCD panel.

• Do not place heavy objects on top of this product. They may damage

the monitor.

• Do not touch the monitor screen with your fingers. Fingerprints and oil

stains may remain on the screen surface. They are difficult to wipe off.

• The monitor is heavy. Ask the help of others if you cannot carry it by

yourself.

• When leaving your office for a long vacation, always unplug the power

cords from the main outlet.

The liquid crystals in the display panel contain several irritants. If the
panel is damaged or broken, do not let the liquid come in contact with
your skin, eyes, or mouth. If you do come in contact with the liquid, flush
the affected part with running water for at least 15 minutes. If any
symptom remains, consult a doctor. The fluorescent lamp in the liquid
crystal display (LCD) contains mercury (50 mg. (0.002 oz.) maximum). Do
not place in trash that is disposed of in landfills. Dispose of it as required
by local ordinances or regulations.

Operating considerations

To ensure comfortable operation of the monitor, follow the instruction
below:

• Place the monitor in front of you for easy viewing.

• Place the monitor at a comfortable distance (50 –60 cm) (19 – 24 in.)

from you.

• Tilt the monitor so that top of the monitor is at your eye level.

• Adjust the angle of the tilt so that there is no reflection of light and

objects. If necessary, turn off the light or lower its luminescence. If
near a window, close the curtains or pull down the blind to cut the
sunlight.

• Adjust the screen brightness.

• Use a chair with a high-reclining back and sit deep into it.

• Operating on the screen for long hours can cause fatigue and

eyestrain. Divert your eyes from the screen for short intervals during
operation, and take short rests.

2) Extended modes

The addressability of the monitor is more advanced than those provided
for in the industry standard display modes so in addition, monitor specific,
or extended modes, have been developed. Detailed timing information on
these modes is provided to the video graphics card and system through
the VESA DDC/EDID protocol. Depending on the application
requirements and the capability of the video graphics card, it may be
necessary to select an alternative EDID and configure the graphics card
so that the optimum mode is enabled (see also Appendix B & C).

Appendix B. Updating the settings for your monitor

Introduction

Modern monitors internally store data on their performance characteristics
and capabilities in an abbreviated format. The information is called the
monitor Extended Display Identification Data or EDID and is read by
operating systems and video graphics cards to determine the optimum
display properties for the system. The IBM T221 is a very advanced and
flexible monitor and it exceeds the capability of the EDID system to
describe it fully. A special OSD menu allows alternate EDIDs to be
selected which are more suitable for certain graphics cards. Unless you
change the video graphics card that drives your monitor, there is usually
no need to change the EDID settings. The EDID update procedure must
be done carefully. If an incorrect EDID is selected, it is possible that the
monitor may not display any images afterwards.

Applicable model: All models with the following firmware level

The procedure given in this document applies to monitors with firmware at the
following levels:

DDC CPU Version 3.2 or higher
OSD CPU Version 5.0 or higher
USB CPU Version 4.0 or higher
FPGA LOGIC Version 34 or higher

To check each version, see the next page. If you need to change the
settings on a monitor that has firmware at a lower level, refer to the IBM
technical website for T221 monitor.

1. Setting

a. Connect the monitor to the desired graphics card and / or computer

system

b. Turn on the monitor and the computer. PC. Wait until the system has

completed loading and a stable screen image is displayed. Confirm
that the power indicator on the monitor shows green. If there is no
image is displayed and the power indicator shows steady amber,
press the Debug switch to turn on the monitor (see the following
figure), the power indicator will show blinking amber. The video image
from the computer will not appear but the screen will display a
sequence of test patterns.

CAUTION:

Do not use conductive material to

press this switch. It may damage the

(information) icon by using the '←'(navigate left) or '→' (navigate right)
button. Press the 'select / enter' button to access the information
screen. The refresh rate and screen resolution will be displayed, as in
this example:

b. Press the 'navigate left' button three times, and then press the

'navigate right' button three times. The special OSD menu will be
display, as in this example:

In this display, the firmware version is shown in the following format:

-1- aaa bbb
c ddd eee

where

aaa: DDC-CPU version
bbb: OSD-CPU version
c: Reserved
ddd: USB-CPU version
eee: FPGA-LOGIC version

If the special OSD menu does not appear, press the ‘select/enter’ button
to exit from the OSD menu. and try again from step 2a.

3. Checking the current settings

a. In the special OSD menu, press the 'navigate left' or 'navigate right'

button to show panel 2 of the special OCD menu.

b. In about five seconds, the current EDID settings will be displayed, as

in this example:

If the EDID setting is given as 000, or any number greater than 63, or a
value ending in 'x', an error has occurred; repeat step 3 to try again. For
details, see “Valid setting”.

4. Changing the settings

a. From the table in the 'valid setting' section, select the number of the

setting you want to use.

b. Set the brightness level to the number for the EDID setting you have

chosen (see user's guide), you can choose values from 0 to 20. For
higher number, firstly enable the special OSD menu and then exit it by

26

using the 'select / enter' button. The brightness range will now extend
from 0 to 63, as in this example:

c. Navigate back to the first panel of special OSD menu.
d. Press the 'navigate left' or 'navigate right' button to show panel 2.

Then press both 'navigate button together, and hold them down until
three dots appear on the display. The three dots show that the EDID
setting is in the process of being updated.

e. Within about five seconds, the number of the new EDID setting stored

in the monitor will be displayed. If it is not the setting number you
want, try again.

Note: An attempt to enter an unsupported setting number will fail. If

the setting number ends in 'x', the update procedure has failed.

f. Turn off the monitor to disable the special OSD menu and return to

normal operation.

g. Reboot the PC to transmit the EDID setting to the graphics card. Turn

off the monitor to disable the special OSD menu and return to normal

Important notices

Valid Settings

If the monitor is connected to a powered-off computer system, or if the
screen resolution is changed, it will not be possible to program a new
EDID setting.
The EDID setting cannot be reset to the original number as for the factory
default values by the procedure given in this manual. To reset the EDID to
an equivalent value to the factory default, check your T221 model and
choose the appropriate number as below, then update the setting.

T221 Model DG3/DG5: Setting number 29

The DDC-CPU firmware that performs the EDID setting process within the
monitor can only detect and update certain types of EDID setting. If it
encounters a setting it does not recognize, it shows 000 (unknown).
Choose the EDID setting that is appropriate for the operating system and
video graphics card you are using.
If you need to use an EDID setting not listed in the table, you will need to
upgrade to a later version of DDC-CPU.
EDID settings may be updated without notice. For the latest information,
refer to the IBM technical support website for the T221 monitor.

Appendix E. Compliance

TCO’95

Congratulations! You have just purchased a TCO'95 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 the manufacturing.
Since it has not been possible for the majority of electronics equipment to
be recycled in a satisfactory way, 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
conventional electricity generation have a negative effect on the
environment (acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste,
etc.), it is vital to conserve energy. Electronics equipment in offices
consume an enormous amount of energy since they are often left running
continuously.

What does labelling involve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO'95 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),
Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation)
and NUTEK (The National Board for Industrial and Technical
Development in Sweden).

The requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment,
ergonomics, usability, emission of electrical and magnetic fields, energy
consumption and electrical and fire safety.

The environmental demands concern 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 plan 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

Appendix E. Compliance

31

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.

On the back page of this folder, you will find a brief summary of the
environmental requirements met by this product. The complete
environmental criteria document may be ordered from:

TCO'95 is a co-operative project between TCO (The Swedish
Confederation of Professional Employees), Naturskyddsforeningen (The
Swedish Society for Nature Conservation) and NUTEK (The National

Board for Industrial and Technical Development in Sweden).

Environmental Requirements

Brominated flame retardants

Brominated flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables,
wires, casings and housings. In turn, they delay the spread of fire. Up to
thirty percent of the plastic in a computer casing can consist of flame
retardant substances. These are related to another group of
environmental toxins, PCBs, which are suspected to give rise to similar
harm, including reproductive damage in fisheating 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.
TCO'95 demand requires that plastic components weighing more than 25
grams must not contain organically bound chlorine and bromine.

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.

TCO'95 requirement permits the inclusion of lead since no replacement

has yet been developed.

Cadmium

**

Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the
colour-generating layers of certain computer displays. Cadmium damages
the nervous

* Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms
** Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are Bio-accumulative.

system and is toxic in high doses.

TCO'95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25
ppm (parts per million) of cadmium. The colour-generating layers of
display screens must not contain any cadmium.

*

32

Mercury**

Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. Mercury
damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses.
TCO'95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25
ppm (parts per million) of mercury. It also demands that no mercury is
present in any of the electrical or electronics components concerned with
the display unit. Mercury is, for the time being permitted in the back light
system of flat panel monitors as there today is no commercially available
alternative. TCO aims on removing this exception when a mercury free
alternative is available.

CFCs (freons)

CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards and
in the manufacturing of expanded foam for packaging. CFCs break down
ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing
increased reception on Earth of ultraviolet light with consequent increased
risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma).
The relevant TCO'95 requirement: Neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used
during the manufacturing of the product or its packaging.

Hinweise

This product complies with Swedish National Council for Metrology (MPR)
standards issued in December 1999 (MPRII) for very low frequency (VLF)
and extremely low frequency (ELF) emissions.

Gemäβ der Amtsblätter des BMPT Nm. 61/1991 und 6/1992 wird der
Betreiber darauf aufmerksam gemächt, daβdie von ihm mit diesem Gerät
zusammengestellte Anlage auch den technischen Bestimmungen dieser
Amtsblätter genügen muβ.

Aus ergonomischen Gründen wird empfohlen, die Grundfarbe Blau nicht
auf dunklem Untergrund zu verwenden (schlechte Erkennbarkeit,
Augenbelastung bei zu geringem Zeichenkontrast).

Aus ergonomischen Gründen sollten nur Darstellungen auf dunklem
Hintergrund bei Vertikalfrequenzen ab 60 Hz (ohne Zeilensprung) benutzt
werden.
Die Konvergenz des Bildes kann sich auf Grund des Magnetfeldes am Ort
der Aufstellung aus der Korrekten Grundeinstellung verändern. Zur
Korrektur empfiehlt es sich deshalb, die Regler an der Frontseite für H
STAT und V STAT so einzustellen, daβ die getrennt sichtbaren
Farblinien für Rot. Grün und Blau bei z.B. der Darstellung eines
Buchstabens zur Deckung (Konvergenz) gelangen. Siehe hierzu auch die
Erklärungen zu H STAT und V STAT.
