DO NOT OPEN THE MONI-
❖
TOR. ere are no user serviceable
parts inside and opening or removing

shock hazards or other risks. Refer all
servicing to qualified service personnel.
Do not spill any liquids into the cabi-
❖
net 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 slop-
❖
ing 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.

bylaws or rules of
your municipality to dispose of the
tube properly.
Do not bend power cord.
❖
Do not use monitor in high tempera-
❖
tured, 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
❖

If the monitor does not operate nor-
❖
mally 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.
e power cable connector is the pri-
❖
mary means of detaching the system
from the power supply. e 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.
Safety Precautions and Maintenance
page 3
Image Persistence occurs when a re-
❖
sidual 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 the 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.
When operating the LaCie 500 Se-
❖
ries LCD Monitor with a 220-240V
AC power source in Europe, use the
power cord provided with the monitor.
In the UK, a BS approved power cord
❖
with a moulded plug has a Black (five
Amps) fuse installed for use with this
equipment.
If a power cord is not supplied with
❖
this equipment please contact your
supplier.
When operating the LaCie 500 Se-
❖
ries LCD Monitor with a 220-240V
AC power source in Australia, use the
power cord provided with the monitor. If a power cord is not supplied
with this equipment please contact
your supplier.
For all other cases, use a power cord
❖
that matches the AC voltage of the
power outlet and has been approved
by and complies with the safety standard of your particular country.

Health and Ergonomic Precautions
Health and Ergonomic Precautions

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. e optimal distance is 50 cm.
Rest your eyes periodically by focus-
❖
ing 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 antiglare filter.
Clean the lcd monitor surface with a
❖
lint-free, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid
using any cleaning solution or glass
cleaner!
To maximize ergonomics benefits,
we recommend the following:
Adjust the brightness until the back-
❖
ground raster disappears.
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).
Use the preset color setting.
❖
Use non-interlaced signals with a
❖
vertical refresh rate between 60-75
hz.
Do not position the contrast control
❖
to its maximum setting.
Use the preset size and position con-
❖
trols with standard signals.
Do not use primary color blue on a
❖
dark background, as it is difficult to
see and may produce eye fatigue to
insufficient contrast.

Introduction
page 8
1.1. 500 Series LCD Monitor Features
Large 25.5’’ diagonal size and wide 16:10 format enhances productivity by reducing the need for scrolling through documents and
❖
switching windows and allows full 1:1 scale display of two full pages with additional space for application palettes and toolbars.
High 1920x1200 resolution and HDCP Content Protection technology is ideal for high resolution graphics and video applica-
❖
tions.
Wide-Gamut H-IPS A-TW POL panel technology offers an industry-leading 91% NTSC Gamut that allows the LaCie 500
❖
series monitors to display an ever larger range of vibrant colors, previously unattainable by LCD monitors. When used in a colormanaged environment, this offers the benefit of an even closer match between captured, displayed and printed colors. is technology
offers an excellent balance between contrast (800:1), brightness (400 cd/m2 typ.) and expansive viewing angles of 178°.
Improved uniformity: Each panel is individually tested at the factory and corrected to ensure that brightness and chromaticity are
❖
uniform across the screen.
ColorKeeper Backlight Stabilizer: e LaCie 526 monitor has an embedded sensor that analyzes the brightness and chromaticity of
❖
its backlight in real time. A feedback mechanism then uses this information to continuously adjust the backlight and panel to ensure
stable monitor brightness and color.
12-bit Gamma Correction: e embedded Integrated Circuit enables a genuine hardware calibration of the monitor. Its 12-bit
❖
Gamma Correction tables (16 bits precision) allow an optimal display of color gradients.
Ergonomic stand enables height swivel tilt and pivot adjustments.❖

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 the monitor
for as long as the previous image was displayed. For example, if an image was on the monitor for one hour
and a residual image remains, the monitor should be turned off for one hour to erase the image.
NOTE: As with all personal display devices, LaCie recommends displaying moving images and using a
moving screen saver at regular intervals whenever the screen is idle or turning off the monitor when not in
use.
