Recommended use

• DO NOT OPEN THE MONITOR. There are no user serviceable parts inside and opening or removing covers may expose

you to dangerous shock hazards or other risks. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.

• Do not spill any liquids into the cabinet or use your monitor near water.

• Do not insert objects of any kind into the cabinet slots, as they may touch dangerous voltage points, which can be

harmful or fatal or may cause electric shock, fire or equipment failure.

• Do not place any heavy objects on the power cord. Damage to the cord may cause shock or fire.

• Do not place this product on a sloping or unstable surface, as the monitor may fall, causing serious damage.

• Do not place any objects onto the monitor and do not use the monitor outdoors.

• The inside of the fluorescent tube located within the LCD monitor contains mercury. Please follow the bylaws or rules of

your municipality to dispose of the tube properly.

• Do not bend power cord.

• Do not use monitor in high temperatured, humid, dusty, or oily areas.

• Do not cover vent on monitor.

Immediately unplug your monitor from the outlet and refer servicing to qualified personnel under the following conditions:

• When the power supply cord or plug is damaged.

• If liquid has been spilled, or objects have fallen into the monitor.

• If the monitor has been exposed to rain or water.

• If the monitor has been dropped or the cabinet damaged.

• If the monitor does not operate normally by following operating instructions.

• If glass is broken, handle with care.

• If monitor or glass is broken, do not come in contact with the liquid crystal and handle with care.

• Allow adequate ventilation around the monitor so that heat can properly dissipate. Do not block ventilated openings or

place the monitor near a radiator or other heat sources. Do not put anything on top of monitor.

• The power cable connector is the primary means of detaching the system from the power supply. The monitor should be

installed close to a power outlet which is easily accessible.

• Handle with care when transporting. Save packaging for transporting.

• Image Persistence: Please be aware that LCD Technology may experience a phenomenon known as Image Persistence.

Image Persistence occurs when a residual or “ghost” image of a previous image remains visible on the screen. Unlike CRT
monitors, LCD monitors’ image persistence is not permanent, but constant images being displayed for a long period of time
should be avoided. To alleviate image persistence, turn off teh monitor for as long as the previous image was displayed. For
example, if an image was on the monitor for one hour, the monitor should be turned off for one hour to erase the image.

CORRECT PLACEMENT AND ADJUSTMENT OF THE MONITOR CAN

REDUCE EYE, SHOULDER AND NECK FATIGUE. CHECK THE

FOLLOWING WHEN YOU POSITION THE MONITOR:

• For optimum performance, allow 20 minutes for warm-up.

• Adjust the monitor height so that the top of the screen is at or slightly below eye

level.Your eyes should look slightly downward when viewing the middle of the
screen.

• Position your monitor no closer than 40 cm and no further away than 70 cm

from your eyes. The optimal distance is 50 cm.

• Rest your eyes periodically by focusing on an object at least 20 feet away. Blink

often.

• Position the monitor at a 90° angle to windows and other light sources to

minimize glare and reflections. Adjust the monitor tilt so that ceiling lights do not
reflect on your screen.

• If reflected light makes it hard for you to see your screen, use an anti-glare filter.

• Clean the LCD monitor surface with a lint-free, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid using any cleaning solution or glass cleaner!

• Adjust the monitor’s brightness and contrast controls to enhance readability.

• Use a document holder placed close to the screen.

• Position whatever you are looking at most of the time (the screen or reference material) directly in front of you to

minimize turning your head while you are typing.

• Avoid displaying fixed patterns on the monitor for long periods of time to avoid image persistence (after-image

effects).

• Get regular eye checkups.

Ergonomics

To realize the maximum ergonomics benefits, we recommend the following:

• Adjust the Brightness until the background raster disappears.

• Do not position the Contrast control to its maximum setting.

• Use the preset Size and Position controls with standard signals.

• Use the preset Color Setting.

• Use non-interlaced signals with a vertical refresh rate between 60-75 Hz.

• Do not use primary color blue on a dark background, as it is difficult to see and may produce eye fatigue to

insufficient contrast.

User’s Manual

Congratulations! You have just purchased a TCO’99 approved and labeled 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 andto the further development of environmentally adapted elec­tronics products.

Why do we have environmentally labeled computers?

In many countries, environmental labeling 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 labeling involve?

This product meets the requirements for international and environmental labeling of personal computers. The requirements
cover a wide range of issues, including: 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 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. Labeled 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.

Environmental Requirements
Flame retardants

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. Most flame retardants
contain bromine or chloride and these are related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs, which are suspected to
give rise to severe health effects, including reproductive damage in fisheating birds and mammals, due to the bioaccumula­tive* processes. Flame retardants have been found in human blood and researchers fear that disturbances in fetus develop­ment may occur. Plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not contain flame retardants with organically bound
chlorine and bromine. Flame retardants are allowed in the printed circuit boards since no substitutes are available.
