FCC Compliance Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply within
the limits of a Class B digital device pursuant to Part 15 of
the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide
reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation.

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio
or television reception (which can be determined by turning
the equipment on and off), the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by using one or more of the
following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and the
receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit
different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV
technician for help.

Caution: Changes or modifications not expressly approved
by the party responsible for compliance could void the
user's (or your) authority to operate the equipment. Only
peripherals (digital input/output devices, terminals, printers,
etc.) certified to comply with the Class B limits may be
attached to this monitor. Operation with non-certified
peripherals is likely to result in interference to radio and TV
reception.
Only shielded signal cables may be used with this System.

Canadian DOC Notice

This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the
Canadian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B respecte toutes les
exigences du Règlement sur le matériel brouilleur du
Canada.

CE Conformity Notice (for Europe)

Products with the “CE” Marking comply with the EMC
Directive(89/336/EEC) and LOW VOLTAGE Directive
(73/23/EEC) issued by the Commission of the European
Community.
Compiance with these directives implies conformity to the
following European Norms :

• EN 55022:1998 ; Radio Frequency Interference

• EN 55024:1998 ; Electromagnetic Immunity

• EN 61000-3-2 ; Power Line Harmonics

• EN 61000-3-3 ; Voltage Fluctuations

• EN 60950 ; Product Safety

Low Radiation Compliance (MPR II)

This monitor meets one of the strictest guidelines available
today for low radiation emissions, offering the user extra
shielding and an antistatic screen coating. These
guidelines, set forth by a government agency in Sweden,
limit the amount of emission allowed in the Extremely Low
Frequency (ELF) and Very Low Frequency (VLF)
electromagnetic range.

TCO95

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
to the further development of environmentally-adapted
electronic 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 electronic equipment are
concerned is that environmentally harmful substances are
used both in the products and during their manufacture.
Since it has not been possible so far for the majority of
electronic 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 both the
working and natural environment viewpoints. Since all
types of conventional electricity generation have a negative
effect on the environment (acidic- and climatic-influencing
emissions, radioactive waste, etc.), it is vital to conserve
energy. Electronic equipment in offices consumes as
enormous amount of energy, since it is often routinely left
running continuously.

What does the environmenal labelling involve?

This product meets the requirements for the TCO’95

Important Precautions

This unit has been engineered and manufactured to ensure your personal
safety, however improper use may result in potential eletrical shock or fire
hazards. In order to allow the proper operation of all safeguards
incorporated in this display, observe the following basic rules for its
installation, use, and servicing.

On Safety

Use only the power cord supplied with the unit. In case you use another power
cord, make sure that it is certified by the applicable national standards if not being
provided by the supplier. If the power cable is faulty in any way, please contact the
manufacturer or the nearest authorized repair service provider for a replacement.

The power supply cord is used as the main disconnection device. Ensure that the
socket-outlet is easily accessible after installation.

Operate the display only from a power source indicated in the specifications of
this manual or listed on the display. If you are not sure what type of power supply
you have in your home, consult with your dealer.

Overloaded AC outlets and extension cords are dangerous. So are frayed power
cords and broken plugs. They may result in a shock or fire hazard. Call your service
technician for replacement.

Do not Open the Display.

There are no user serviceable components inside.
There are Dangerous High Voltages inside, even when the power is OFF.
Contact your dealer if the display is not operating properly.

To Avoid Personal Injury :

Do not place the display on a sloping shelf unless properly secured.
Use only a stand recommended by the manufacturer.

To Prevent Fire or Hazards:

Always turn the display OFF if you leave the room for more than a short period
of time. Never leave the display ON when leaving the house.
Keep children from dropping or pushing objects into the display's cabinet
openings. Some internal parts carry hazardous voltages.
Do not add accessories that have not been designed for this display.
During a lightning storm or when the display is to be left unattended for an
extended period of time, unplug it from the wall outlet.

Important Precautions

On Installation

Do not allow anything to rest upon or roll over the power cord, and do not place
the display where the power cord is subject to damage.

Do not use this display near water such as near a bathtub, washbowl, kitchen
sink, laundry tub, in a wet basement, or near a swimming pool.
Displays are provided with ventilation openings in the cabinet to allow the release
of heat generated during operation. If these openings are blocked, built-up heat
can cause failures which may result in a fire hazard. Therefore, NEVER:

Block the bottom ventilation slots by placing the display on a bed, sofa, rug, etc.
Place the display in a built-in enclosure unless proper ventilation is provided.
Cover the openings with cloth or other material.
Place the display near or over a radiator or heat source.

Do not rub or strike the Active Matrix LCD with anything hard as this may scratch,
mar, or damage the Active Matrix LCD permanently.

Do not press the LCD screen with your finger for a long time as this may cause
some afterimages.

Some dot defects may appear as Red, Green or Blue spots on the screen.
However, this will have no impact or effect on the display performance.

If possible, use the recommended resolution to obtain the best image quality for
your LCD display. If used under any mode except the recommended resolution,
some scaled or processed images may appear on the screen. However, this is
characteristic of the fixed-resolution LCD panel.

On Cleaning

Unplug the display before cleaning the face of the display screen.
Use a slightly damp (not wet) cloth. Do not use an aerosol directly on the display

screen because over-spraying may cause electrical shock.

On Repacking

Do not throw away the carton and packing materials. They make an ideal
container in which to transport the unit. When shipping the unit to another
location, repack it in its original material.

On Disposal

The fluorescent lamp used in this product contains a small amount of mercury.
Do not dispose of this product with general household waste.

Disposal of this product must be carried out in accordance to the regulations of
your local authority.
